Can anybody tell me when did they start putting the O ring cooling behind the fan shroud. I have a 1950 standard split , numbers matching and my does not have it . Also mine came with wire mash behind the shroud . Not sure if its correct . Thank... Humberto

That would be the throttle ring on the front of the fan shroud. Front is closer to the front bumper.

"Throttle ring with swing handle" Is that the summer/winter lever? I thought that that ended way before then??

Perhaps introduced earlier in the deluxe and for standard in 52?

Either way a 52 should have a throttle ring.
