Amazing thread!
About the fan, the picture that shows the crank hub bolted to it makes it seem that someone took the 3 bolt pulley adapter made for the air pump (some had a heavy version to drive the AC compressor) and adapted the rod side to mount the second fan on.
I love seeing all the great ideas and ways folks tackle things.
Keep it up! |

very good work. The best thing about restoring a 914 is that most of the parts and rust repair panels are available. We ourselves make over 275 of them, and started with the steel rust repair panels. My phrase was "if you have no 914 body, you have no car" We have seen too many over the years rust away to nothing, and actually have dismantled over 1100. In the early years they were all crash victims, later becoming rust victims. Congrats for putting in the work and the dedication to save one of the marque.
By the way, you have purchased a lot of repair panels, why not the inner and outer firewall panels? These are fairly complicated stampings, and to have the original look and to save time, even wasting part of the repair panel I would think would have been more prudent? |
