Tinware Hole and Suggestions to Teplace

Hi folks this has been bugging me. T2 K reg Bay with a hole in the tinware. Just above exhaust so I’m guessing letting in heat. Also raised moulding either side of the air hoses that seem obsolete. Can I replace with

Or

Or another??

Thanks in advance..

I should say - running a T1 1600 twin port engine

 

The big hole should have a pipe going to the air filter to draw warm air in when cold, the other holes should have pre heat pipes going down from the manifold ?

 

Assuming you’re running non standard carb?

 

This ^^^
And and probably a non standard air filter if you're missing the pre heat pipe above the exhaust ??

Its where the pipe meets the heat exchanger pod on a single carb model

This shows it blanked off without tinware

You possibly have some nice original tin, never seen with the plate that covers the heat risers, most new ones are a stamped out hole

Ahh Thats a great photo - Guessing that's the pre heat pipe too? Thanks a lot - really appreciate it. So I can get tinware without the holes??

 

Yes thats the pipe that would have connected , yup if running twins with blanking plates, heres mine showing

Great looking engine.... I think I'll blank off the preheat - I read 2 bean tin lids will do for now.... thanks for sharing

 

I also need a blanking plate or similar for this hole, if anyone knows where to get them or knows something that fits in the hole?

 

Nice 1

I had to replace my engine tin 3 years ago because of rust.Managed to get a good second hand original to replace it - bu I have original oil filter so kept the holes .

 

Looks like the same tinware as mine - I'm just going to blank off the pre heat hole

 

Use a hole saw and cut a couple of round discs from steel/ally and bolt them together either side of the hole.

 

Hi Bigherb That's the plan.. thanks for sharing

 

Some, include @snotty and me, have made a little plate bolted through the existing fixings to fill that hole
