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

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...

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.

Hammer is normal procedure on these.

What engine fan shroud do you talk about ???

The right or left one ???

The Dizzy is on the left side.
