hey all. is there a difference between the tin ware on T1 engines? ie between 1200, 1300, 1500 and 1600.

am playing with the rear tin ware on the motor in lois, and it seems its been hacked and doesnt fit properly.

1600 engines had the doghouse oil cooler out the back of the fan housing....

1300 - 1500 - 1600 engines had the fresh air heater connections coming from either side of the fan housing...

early models [1200] had the heater using the old hot air from under the engine.....

has anyone got some tinware that will fit my 54 oval with a 1200 with fresh air heating? It'll save me heaps of time drilling and cutting and beating my exsisting tin to fit the heater intakes

please U2U me!
