OK, pretty sure I've got the data here and I'll be corrected if not:
912 Air channels came in several variants; the earliest ones are best for conversion for use in 356s; they have rubber seals around the 'throttle plate'. Some time later, they don't.
Regardless, none have the 'double-ended control arms' which, in the 356, control the closing of the flappers and the opening of the 'can valves'. If they did and I knew it, I promise I would not have spent money to develop the tooling and use that tooling to offer the Adapter Levers: https://precisionmatters.biz/air-channe ... levers.php
If there are such 912 air channels, as a supporter of an un-fettered market, I encourage you to buy them and provide a salutatory message to the guy who directs marketing research at Precision Matters; he (me) will thank you.

Dennis,

I you decide to go the new double flapper box route, don't pay full price, please contact me off line.
I have a " never used " pair for sale at a great price.

Sorry Ron; My mistake of reversing the "box" numbers.

Thanks for the offer David. I had been eyeing a pair while doing research. I think I got what I needed.
