Porsche 911/930 All 1965-89
We have redesigned our alternator straps for a sleeker look and simpler install. On most older 911's, the cadmium-plated alternator housing strap looks worse for the wear - the plating has become dull or corroded. The factory alternator housing strap can't be replaced without removing the ignition distributor, which necessitates resetting the engine's timing. Rennline's new alternator housing strap solves both problems: the brushed stainless steel perforated strap can be left as is or painted the color of your choice, and its unique 3 piece design makes installation easy to accomplish without touching the distributor. Comes with stainless steel hardware.

Air Cooling Parts – Engine Efficiency and Temperature Control for Porsche Vehicles
Air cooling parts are essential components designed to regulate engine temperature, ensuring your Porsche runs efficiently, safely, and at peak performance. These components manage airflow and heat dissipation within air-cooled engines, preventing overheating and maintaining consistent operating conditions.
At Design911, we offer a wide selection of genuine and high-quality air cooling parts for Porsche models including classic air-cooled 911s, 964, 993, and more. Our range includes fan assemblies, shrouds, ducts, pulleys, housings, and cooling tins, all precision-engineered for exact fitment and reliable thermal management. Every part is built to the same high standards as the original factory components, ensuring lasting performance and authenticity.
What Do Air Cooling Parts Do?
Air cooling components work together to keep the engine’s
operating temperature stable by directing airflow across critical areas. Key
functions include:
- Cooling
the engine cylinders and heads to prevent overheating.
- Regulating
airflow through fans, ducts, and shrouds.
- Maintaining
consistent engine performance under varying load and speed conditions.
- Supporting mechanical efficiency and preventing thermal stress on components.
For Porsche’s legendary air-cooled engines, proper airflow and cooling performance are vital to achieving both longevity and smooth, balanced operation.
Why Do Air Cooling Parts Fail?
Over time, air cooling components can degrade due to
exposure to heat, vibration, and environmental wear. Common failure causes
include:
- Cracked
or warped shrouds and ducts from thermal stress.
- Fan
damage or imbalance caused by corrosion or debris.
- Loose
pulleys or belts reducing airflow efficiency.
- Corroded
or missing fasteners and mounts leading to rattling or misalignment.
- Material fatigue from age or improper maintenance.
Symptoms of failure include higher-than-normal engine temperatures, noise from the cooling fan, or visible cracks and wear on housing parts.
Why Replace Faulty Air Cooling Parts?
A compromised cooling system can lead to overheating, reduced performance, or even engine failure. Replacing worn or damaged components ensures optimal air circulation and temperature regulation, protecting your engine’s reliability and value.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Restored and efficient airflow across engine components.
- Consistent operating temperatures and improved engine longevity.
- Prevention of costly overheating-related damage.
- Factory-spec fitment and manufacturer-quality materials.
All air cooling parts in this range are designed to meet or exceed exacting engineering standards, ensuring durability, precision, and confidence for both restoration projects and regular maintenance.
