Rear Tin Plate

[Rick Wall]

Can someone please tell me if this is a European heater back plate?

Yes it is. It has the two holes for the flex tube to the carb heaters.

David, you are a WONDER. I would never have picked that up. …….Jim.

David, thanks for your reply. Since my engine has flapper boxes and not the fresh air heat exchangers, I hope I can still use this tin if I plug the two carb heat holes with some sort of plugs?

[Chuck Allard]

Yes, just put a couple plastic plugs in the two holes.

People are always looking for Euro Heater parts. If you are inclined, you could probably run an ad and trade it for the correct (hole-less) sheet metal and get a little $$ in return. Two people (engines?) win.

Thanks John, something to consider. This plate, along with the snout tube fan shroud, tube, and front base tin came on a spare 1964 engine I have. I found the original 1962 engine thanks to Walt Nolte, and am reinstalling it back in my car, but missing the rear plate tin.
