914Rubber Cooling Flap Control Clip for Porsche 914 (All Years) and 912E (1976)
Ensure precise engine cooling in your Porsche 914 or 912E with the 914Rubber Cooling Flap Control Clip (part number 021.119.745), designed for all 914 models (1970-76) and the 912E (1976). This reproduction U-shaped clip connects the driver-side cooling flap to the control rod in the Type 4 engine’s fan shroud, enabling accurate airflow regulation to the 1.7L, 1.8L, or 2.0L cylinders. Only one clip is required per car, securing the flap mechanism for optimal temperature control.
PMB Performance, with over 20 years of Porsche expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades, selling more 914Rubber SKUs than any other retailer. Crafted from high-strength, heat-resistant nylon, this clip withstands engine bay temperatures up to 220°F and resists vibration fatigue, unlike factory clips that can crack or loosen. Its precise dimensions ensure a tight fit on the 5mm control rod, maintaining flap alignment to prevent overheating or overcooling, which can stress engine components like piston rings or valve guides.
The cooling flap system, driven by a thermostat and linkage, directs air through the shroud to regulate cylinder head temperatures. A failing clip can cause the flap to stick, leading to uneven cooling, reduced fuel efficiency, or even engine knock in high-RPM conditions. This 914Rubber clip installs easily, snapping onto the rod and flap pivot, restoring factory-spec performance. Regular inspection during shroud maintenance prevents costly engine issues.
