T25 engine is same as only the very last year of T2.. the tinware will be different from a T25 to a T2, so finding the right tin might be the issue.. unless they have the correct tinware or the t25 tin can be made to fit (lots of cutting I would imagine)

Of course, you have to make sure the seal works too, as recirculating hot air doesnt cool the engine..

A twin engined T2? Bet that was fast for a Bay!

Sorry Ginge, coudn't resist that joke.

T2's were fitted with various sizes of a/c engines over the years:- 1600, ?1700?, 1800 & 2000. The 1700/1800cc ones were the original Type 4 engine ('The Suitcase Engine') from the 411/412 Fastback & Variant from 1968-75.
