Here is a post from me to the type2 list
back in Aug, 2002.
Did you ever find a set of tin? I laid out ALL the pieces needed for a 75-78 2.0. Counting the heater flap valve pipes, the two plates to seal the heater boxes-to-fan housing, and the muffler heat shield; the total is 22 pieces! Here is a pic of all the pieces:
[yes, I have the full set as pictured]
You mentioned putting the 2.0L into a 74. Does this mean you are using the 72-74 style heater boxes?
If yes, then a 2.0L complete tin set will NOT work. You will need to replace 6 pieces with 1700-1800 pieces:
the front lower tin, L + R,
the lower pushrod cover tin, L + R,
the heater valve pipes, L + R,
[and the
alternator adjuster/exhaust support is also
different]
