Impossible to find competition parts…
So I know these are harder to find than hen’s teeth, but as I’m getting towards the bottom of my list of wanted parts, I thought I’d throw this out there in case anyone can help (cue the tumble weed…)

- twin CDI frame:
- left-hand oil cooler cover:
- brackets for oil breather tank rubber securing strap:
- NOS clock delete cover (part # 911.552.205.00)
- 1 x early 3-prong 8x15” Fuchs, unrestored but undamaged dated mid ‘73 or better still, a pair dated 1971 or early (pre March) ‘72 (part # 911.361.020.02):

Hi Matt,
the catch tank uses the 356 battery strap. The Red Aeroquip cap will be the hardest part to find. The twin plug board below. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393501993152 ... mIQAvD_BwE

A reply! Thanks Dave!
The rubber 356 battery strap I already have, as well as the washer bottle. Its the small metal brackets which the rubber strap attaches to which I need.

And that twin CDI frame looks just like the Kroon one I’ve seen: https://www.kroonwireharnesses.com/twinspark-cdi-frame
Close but not accurate - it looks to me like the original one may have been fabricated from two series panels and we may end up doing the same for mine:

Re: Impossible to find competition parts…
And yes, I should have added the red Aeroquip -16 cap for the oil breather tank but seeing as I’ve never even seen one in all my collected photos of 2.5 ST engine bay, I forgot I need one of those too!…

Yes, they bodged up a single board. Easy to do with a bit of old tin roof.

And then if you find an original factory-bodged one at Strähle swap meet or somewhere you have to pay €5,000 for it…

Re: Impossible to find competition parts…
The part came with a project car a number of years ago, I was intending on using it in my t/r project, but only went with the one cooler on the right fender
Re: Impossible to find competition parts…
Sounds great!
So do you think it’s a genuine factory part then with correct louvres etc?

Re: Impossible to find competition parts…
No clue if it's a genuine factory part. There are no markings on it, Stretch, (Dave) may know as it came from his stash
