WTB 40HP tinware
karmann54 - March 10th, 2016 at 10:41 AM

I've mislaid the rear tinware on my stale-air 40HP motor. This is the one at the rear of the car, full width that goes under the pulley.

Any one got one in their stash? Preferably around Brisbane/SEQ. I'm at Kangaroo Point.

Cheers, Angus 0412105789

Angus,

Thanks for the replies. I'll see what Grahame has in his pile. If no luck there I'll try VVDS.

I remember about 15 years ago trying to find my tin for the 1200 every one had chucked it away took me ages to find the right items

What pisses me off is that I had them all as a complete driving car. Stripped down and rebuilt engine, moved house, restoring car at the moment some 10 years later and can't find it now!

I've forgotten how to add photos here

you can buy new aftermarket. No large holes for the fresh air tubes, with preheat manifold cutouts, the only bit missing is to cut a hole for the air filter preheat hoseI looked for the same for my stale air 40hp.

I am actually looking at getting one of those repro ones with no holes at all. I have a Riechert twin carb kit on this engine with vintage speed muffler so there are no manifold pre heat flanges. However I still want an original tin so I can convert back to standard as I still have the original Ghia air cleaner etc

A photo would help - I have a heap of tinware also, Brisbane Southside.

OK, remembered you had to go to new reply to attach photos. Here are some pics of the engine.

Its the one at the rear of the car, full width that goes under the pulley. First one you see when you open the lid.

Got one! Thanks to a photo sent by Dibsy of his stash, and the photo above from Splitbus I could confirm that one of the eight in Dibsy's pile was correct. Been working crazy hours lately but ducked out over lunch to pick it up.

Thanks to others who responded (Grahame, vw54 and bushed), but I knew it wouldn't be a wasted trip from the photo. Just need to get it powder coated now. Of course my original one will show up two days after that........
