Morning fellow 914ers!

Well, i cant seem to find ANY info online re this so hoping someone can help.

I'm talking engine heater blower brackets and the correct one for a '73.

I have the single hose outlet motor (which i believe is correct for a '73), but with the dual hose attachment so I can run hoses to both heat exchanger inlets (Passenger and Drivers sides).

However, I cant find a single picture that shows the actual bracket and motor installed. Just lots of pictures of the installed motor, but with no shot of the bracket.

I've added a few picks of various installations which look correct, and a picture of the bracket i "assume" is the right one?

Thoughts guys?

Cheers

Chris

yeah

the PET could be mildly described as highly ambiguous on the 73 on blower mount.

i feel its pretty much as per my 74 1.8.

its pretty hard for me to get a good shot without taking the aircleaner out of mine which is a bit a job! but here are some shots.
its basically a pipe clamp ring with a tightening nut.
this clamps around the fan motor body.
there is a curved bracket welded to side of engine bay (part of the bodywork in the engine bay).
the bit i can't remember for the life of me is how the pipe clamp is fixed to the curved bracket. its been a few years since i had it off. but someone will remember.

here is a shot of a 73 i had on file from research,'
you can see its the same as a 74,
but photo doesn't reveal how pipe clamp fits to bodywork bracket.

but as i say someone is going to know how that pipe clamp attaches.
wracking my dementia ravaged mind to try and remember but its not coming back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
and you are looking for that little curved bracket down on left hand side of engine bay that it all attaches to.
