DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Cleaned up the engine bay a bit this morning. It looked like the first time this had been done in 52 years.

Anyway... what colour should the fan cover / ducting be on a 1970 911T? It's currently white/light grey underneath, with dark grey/black paint on top, flaking away.

Original would have been black (gel coat) except for the oil cooler duct which was light grey.

The main fan shroud had probably faded over the years so has been painted black.

Cool, thanks. I have exactly that except the sticking up bit has been painted black, which is flaking.

I guess the proper job if and when I remove it, is to drill out the rivets and add a new gel coat to the base?

I was going to say it should be yellow and looks like this - I guess not then. Very difficult to get the yellow one clean. Were the coloured shrouds for later cars?

The yellow shrouds were fitted to the US-spec 2.4 911T mfi models ...

Back at my computer now. Found this thread - yours is a 2.4T MFI apparently!

I know its a 2.4T MFI, I've had it for 25 years

But that compilation pic on the Pelican thread is good. My yellow one is a bit different to the 2.4 MFI shown (the grey plastic cover at the front is short, like the 74...

The picture shown for a 2.4T mfi yellow fan shroud in that thread is wrong - the riveted-on (full length) light grey oil cooler duct was only fitted on the 2.2 litre models - none of which had a yellow fan shroud !

All of the 2.4 models had an integrated oil cooler duct - only the final (separate) section was light grey.
