Great pictures xellex, just measured it and found 145 mm from the top of the fan blade down to the top of the engine block. Have included the picture in the gallery below. Also included some pictures of my Dads recent (pretty crude riveted) setup His setup relies solely on a strap holding the fan in place, It is rock solid. Note the label at the carb

Unfortunately, that alternator mount will not fit any bug, T1 bus or Ghia application...

I've been following his build on 914club.com an do like the idea of an aluminum shroud.

Oldskool. made my first one with steel plate, steel pulleys and fibreglass shrouds in '91. My dad had his a year earlier so it basically evolved from what he has started.
This one does not really take that long to do, its just time is precious at the moment. I'd start a little production run if I had the time.

Corvair or Reichert-style horizontal fan setups are perfectly possible on T1 etc, Chris' 914 setup has the alternator THERE as the SCCA rules require it to be in the stock 914 location.
(same SCCA rules say nothing on where the cooling fan goes/works or even exists, most of the F-prod 914 setups use ram air via flex sewer pipes from the headlight holes.)
LA Performance in the UK still makes T4 upright fan housing using teh 911 fan, a T1 shouldn't be impossible or even any harder.
(I started fabbing a corvair-fan one myself awhile back, then got sidetracked... now I'm considering running a T1 fan upside down//backwards to suck air from the bottom 8-0 )
