Help identifying parts please

I have a couple of parts which I'm not sure what are or from which model are from. Below are the pics. Any help identifying them is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

They're almost certainly from some VW application. The blower is not the same style that was used in the 914's engine bay, either the 70-72 type or the 73-76 type. It also is not the same style used up under the cowl for fresh air in any year 914. It does not look like the blower in my wife's 1982 911SC, so I will assume that it isn't a 911 part either--but it could be. If you can read the numbers printed on the side, that may give us a clue to what it came from.

The plastic bits appear to be fender liners or something similar? They could be aftermarket for 914s; I am not sure what those parts looked like as I haven't seen any in person. Or they could be from another car all together. Check on them for part numbers--if they are stock Porsche or older VW parts, the first group of numbers would tell us what type of car they are for.

Dave,

Thanks a lot for your kind reply.

- I had looked for numbers on the blower but didn't post them because I can only make out a portion of them. Here they are:
a118241...
KVM 401 5931...

- Re: plastic covers. I had look for numbers on those too, but nothing. I know for sure that at some point they were installed on a 914, no idea where though!

Anyway, I'm sure the covers are not worth much, if anything at all, and it's not worth researching further.

On the other hand, I would be interested in finding out more about the blower, it SHOULD be a Porsche part, but again I trust your judgment. Please let me know if the numbers I've listed above help in any way.

Thanks again!

The numbers don't sound like VW or Porsche factory numbers. A quick Google search fails to turn up anything relating to them either. So sadly, they don't tell us much.

If I had to guess at the covers, I'd guess at fender liners. But I haven't seen any of those in person, so I could easily be wrong. They could also be the wrong size for that, of course, but it's tough to tell from the picture.

If nobody else chimes in here soon, ask again on the 914world site. It is very active, and someone might know what they are for sure.

Actually, come to think of it:

Those two covers look a lot like part of the door pocket on my wife's 911SC.

Hmm, the diagram doesn't quite match that. But there's something in there that makes me think of it.

It's definitely not from a 914 door pocket, though.

Thanks again Dave. I will follow your suggestion and will post the pics on the 914world site as well.
