Spacer ring between generator and fan housing. Porsche 912 / 356  ❭  61610612500

Spacer ring between generator and fan housing.
This gasket is for the fan housing (blower casing) and cover interface on classic Porsche 356 (B/C) and Porsche 912 models. The spacer ring ensures proper clearance, sealing and alignment between the main fan housing and the cover plate. Manufactured to replicate the original Porsche part in size and thickness. 

Fits:
Porsche 912  1965 - 1969
Porsche 356 B / C 1960 - 1965

• Position on Vehicle: Engine bay – between fan housing (blower shroud) and fan cover / generator mounting to body or engine casing.

• Function: Maintains correct spacing, alignment and sealing of the fan housing, ensuring air-flows correctly through the engine’s cooling blower system, helping preserve engine temperature regulation and reduce vibration or mis-alignment.

Even though small, the spacer ring plays a crucial role in the cooling system geometry. If the original spacer is missing, crushed, incorrect thickness or degraded, you may experience:
•  Mis-aligned fan housing or blower which can lead to inefficient airflow or overheating
•  Vibration, noise or abnormal fan behaviour due to improper clearance
•  Premature wear of fan shroud, generator or other components if clearance is incorrect
•  Difficulty achieving correct engine temperature control or unstable idle-temperature behaviour.

Replacing with this spacer ensures the fan housing retains correct alignment, airflow is maintained as designed and cooling performance remains reliable.
