For my 1971 1.7....anyone have a nice problem-free OEM (or NOS) example to sell?


Thanks,
Ken

This one?

Yes, that is the one, although I was trying to find OEM, as opposed to aftermarket....I'm finding that's easier said than done...

I bought this one. If not OEM, the molding was exactly like my original, including the groove for the retaining clip inside the blower housing. It was delivered with a cheesy worm drive clamp, so I reused the one I had.

I'm pretty sure I have an NOS one. How quick do you need it?

And yet another thing I was not aware of. That would solve a lot of hassles...of course, I expect it would be a PITA to install with the engine in the car...

I have one ona shroud i can pull and clean. Yes the OEM fit better and have the groove for the clip

Can't find where this piece goes. Didn't even realize there was such a part.

It's a short rubber boot that goes between the sheet metal on the back of the alternator to a hole in the backside of the cooling fan housing. Provides cooling air to the back of the alternator. If yours is not installed then it leave a hole in the fan housing...

Hey, I'm just learning about the little plastic drains on the bottom of the front trunk, and that our brake master reservoirs had a cover. Can you imagine what we'd learn if we found one of these in a time capsule with 10 miles on it...?

Thanks. Learn something new all the time.

Perry you have mail (YHM)...thanks so much!

Hi Bruce, thanks for the offer, I'll keep you posted....and, yes the OEM fits much better

The brake master reservoir covers were aftermarket not oem. Those little rubber drain things hardened so they held the water in pretty quickly. That's why everyone ripped them out
