What is the engine tin called that goes over the thermostat? Are there reproductions of these?

left warm air guide

trans and heat exchanger specific. the ones for the tail shift and side shift trans differ with regard to the rear shift rod. the ones for 75/76 heat exchangers are completely different and will not work with earlier heat exchangers. 1.7/1.8 or 2.0. easier if you can post a picture of what you have now.

My 914 is a 74' 1.8L. I'll have to post pictures tomorrow.

Here is the area that needs a tin part. There may be more than one part missing.



If you check out this link:
AutoAtlanta Engine Tin. I believe it is number 11 that I'm missing. The transmission is a side shifter.

Thanks for the help,

You need# 12. Drivers side. Pic is backwards from yours

Send a pm to bdstone. Don't bother with aa.

I need a right warm air guide for a 75, Odd behavior to take something off and not put it back on after you are done....

Robert, I have several. Just did a backdate last month. You can have one for shipping cost.

Hine, I may have the one you need also. I'll look tomorrow

My car came with some missing part, but hopefully nothing that can't replaced. Thanks for the help.

Excellent Cab! I hope you have the part.

Never thought I would get so much good will from a eight dollar piece of tin...

How important are the warm air guides? Should my 92 1.7L have them?

You have a 92 1.7?

Found this link to a site which explains the cooling layout pretty well.

Excellent link! I've been trying to find a link like that for a while.

Cabinetmaker, did you have the piece I'm missing?

Every piece of engine tin is important and should be installed. The warm air guides seem to be the ones that are tossed out.
