It's a Cali style conversion. This uses a Type 1 fanshroud. If you look at the engine in the Oval this is the same. From memory there is a bookletIt's a Cali style conversion. This uses a Type 1 fanshroud. If you look at the engine in the Oval this is the same. From memory there is a booklet you can buy from the guy who originally thought of the conversion. rustyovali might be able to tell you more. AFAIK you need to modify the cylinder tin to fit and make / buy a generator stand and pulley to suit. The other way you can go is what I've done on my Type 4 which is to use a Porsche fan and glass shroud. There used to be a company here in Aus who did these - #Sharpbuilt Pretty sure he's still making them. If not you might be able to pick one up second hand. More ...
