Eric, From your parts illustration you first posted, everything you see is available and in stock at Stoddard NLA. Some parts are reproductions, some from Porsche. And, virtually everything is also quite plentiful as used parts on Ebay and several sources in the US and UK..
As for the thermostat (not in your illustration), a good, but expensive, reproduction is in stock -- see http://www.nlaparts.com/store/preheat-t ... 18254.html

Re: Carb Heater
I think it was to clear the throttle cross arm in one of the older cars, Jim.

Re: Carb Heater
Actually the opposite. When the bellows reach a certain temperature they close the flaps so that hot air no longer is directed at the carb\s. The setup is to assist the carbs when cold.EricMcKinley wrote:...when the bellows reaches a certain temperature it opens the flaps to let the hot air through which is directed towards the carbs.
Is this correct?
