    Identity: strange fan housing

    Hello

    I've found a very strange fan housing.

    The case border seems to be made out of wood (or synthetic wood).

    Have you ever seen such a part. I think it's a DIY repair.

    That is not wood. It's fiberglass. I guess someone wanted a bit of 917 on their 911.

    It seems to be made out of celoron. Material used for distribution gear (see http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nusV4front.jpg)

    Looks like it's made up of two pieces, with rivets holding.

    Looks like early carbon to me and reminds me of an air/water 1.2 motronic 962 unit. The fan itself should also be carbon.

    Cheers
