engine tin differences for a 1960B T5 coupe
Posted: Sat Apr 29, 2017 9:32 pm
I'm working on putting in the new engine tin in the engine bay with my current restoration. I searched around the internet and I found some good photos but they are showing something I was not aware of.
Question 1: On the passenger side the photo below shows a half circle cut out in the engine tin where it joins up with the cross-member frame. Is this unique to the B and if so what is it used for or is this a modification someone is making for other reasons than original?
Question 2:
The photo below also shows a curved support panel under the engine tin to the frame - inside the engine bay. Is this an original piece for the 356 B and if so who makes this piece?
Thanks for your help.
