356C Euopean heat details?

#1 Post by Terry Worick »

I'm looking for a photo of a 356C engine w/european heat system with the proper paint colors for the Engine fan shroud and oil filter canister. There is a special snout on the fan housing to deliver air to the heat exchangers. I believe it is to be the same color as the fan housing.

If anyone has a photo of these details it would be greatly appreciated if they could share it.

Thanks

Thanks David,

That all looks like a flat silver color, filter canister nearly matching the fan shroud? This brings more questions....Would a super 90 have the same shroud and canister paint colors as a base C model?

Any C model European Heat experts out there?

Oil filter canister should be silver.

Light grey fan shroud, silver oil filter cannister just like the ROW C/SC cars.

Some details are wrong but still have air horns to provide warm air to carburetors.

Stoddard has spray cans of the light grey color, and I’ve heard of cheaper spray cans that are also roughly correct.

Olivier, do you have a photo that shows the other side of the fan housing? with the carb heater tubes connecting to the heater box and the front pan with the extra holes? Also any photos that show the bracket that supports the muffler?

Here's a magazine article I did some years ago. Lot's of details but maybe short on concourse info ...

PS - I made a batch of the not available muffler straps from scratch - almost gone

From the factory photo. Someone else may have a better shot of it. There is also a pic of factory engines in the Technical section.
