Heater Backdate Problem - Advice needed
Howdy
I am in the middle of doing a heater backdate on my 3.2. The problem I am having is that the new shroud piece (purchased from our host) doesn't seem to fit very well. I can somewhat align the holes, but it seems off by 1/4 inch or so, especially in the back. I don't see this making anywhere close to a tight fit... Any ideas? Thanks in advance Jack

well, since I had to massage it with a hammer for the disti to fit, I figured what the heck, lets form it. Never thought I would be taking a hammer to a porsche part.
Seems to work now... -Jack

I did exactly the same thing. It doesn't fit around the dizzy very well. But it wasn't anything a mallet couldn't fix.
