Missing cooling tin/broken exhaust stud

[Pete's vdubs]

Hey Jeff i have a pile the original tin screws you should have told me!

[Whaanga]

Well....I didn't even know enough to ask.
I'm about pull the engine so this would be a good time to replace
the screws. I'll send a PM and make the arrangements.

Thanks

Hi - I am looking for this exact tin for some time - I have posted a wanted ad as well - but if any one has this would be willing to take it off your hands.

Have you contacted Avery's?

Find the tin you need here:
https://www.averysaircooled.com/bus/engine-tin-bus/

I believe this is the one the OP was posting about, but says it's for 72-74 & 79.
https://www.averysaircooled.com/?bus=1972-1974-1979-vw-bustype-4-front-left-warm-air-duct-engine-tin

Bus Boys lists these 3 part numbers for that tin:

1. O. 021-119-361BU Warm Air Duct, Front Left, Used 1972 to 1974 1979 Federal Only, 1980 to 1983
2. O. 021-119-361DU Warm Air Duct, Front Left, Used 1975 to 1978
3. O. 039-119-361U Warm Air Duct, Front Left, Used 1979 California Only

With a 75 you probably need 021-119-361DU

Contact Avery's to see if they have what you need

Good luck!

I might have this tin sitting in my basement doing nothing. I'd part with it for pretty cheap. Let me check when I get home and get back to you. I'll PM you if I have it and we can work out a deal.

Mine will likely be for a 73. Not sure if this will matter to you or not. I'm not sure of the differences for this piece between the years.
