Tin Ware questions for the early beetle people
Hi All,
I have been looking at tinware for my 54 turbo engine and looking at the rear section on the new tin juts out quite a way and will hit on my turbo and
plumbing. I found this bit of tin in the old bits shed at my house but want to know what it's from before I cut it and do some changes. I think its
off an oval engine but not sure... anyone?

Should I cut this up to fit to my turbo engine or are they hard to get?

Really want it painted steel not glass or carbon. I am building it as a certain style and the german thing isn't it. I dont have a problem with it on
the right car but it doesn't fit this ones style. Good idea though!
