NOTE: At the suggestion of another Registry member to move this topic to this forum from the PRE-A CORNER, it will get more views and maybe I will get a response....
Can the website monitor please remove this same post but in the PRE-A CORNER section?

I'm gathering parts for a 1100cc / 1951 2pc. engine i'm getting ready to put together and have some questions:

The early "seamed" fan housing: I have several "seamed" 356 fan housings but which one is correct AND are there
any photos that someone can share? You see the 2 photos below showing (photo 1) a fan housing with no bell crank
bracket in the back, 1 pivot bracket in front and NO THREADED HOLES to receive the 6mm screws that attach the
cylinder head tin, front and back? Photo 2 shows a fan housing with a bell crank bracket on back, 2 pivot brackets
on front and threaded holes, front and back to secure cylinder head tin similar the later Pre-A fan housings.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Joe, stop playing with 356's and work on my Judson L.B. !

Here is an 1100 cc Formcar-Porsche between the Lotus 18 and the Osca.

Joe, here is a chance to use early sand cast Solex 40's.
