Water return pipe to Kugelfischer area?

[artin]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know or have any general pictures as to what connects to this bracket on the return pipe? Any help is appreciated.

That doesn't look familiar... 

others will correct me, but it looks a bit homemade.

free bump!

is that bolted to the block or is it welded to the water pipe?  There is a tab on the water pipe that is bolted to the block in that location and this looks like something that was stacked on top of that tab and secured with the same bolt.  It almost looks like a dip stick bracket off of a carbureted car.  I'm fairly sure it does not belong there.

Did the car originally have plastic runners,  they did have some bracing to hold the throttle body maybe left from that.

I had plastic runners on my '72 originally and that bracket does not look familiar.

To me, it looks the like bracket which bolts to the block, the triangular bracket which bolts to the oil filter housing (which, I believe, also supports the back of the KF pump).

I looked on my '74tii and it has a similar bracket that I think connects where the WUR connects to the Kugelfischer pump.  Sorry hard to see and even harder to take a pic of it.

Isn't that bracket and the missing one only for 74 cars?

 

Thanks, Rick

The bracket is bolted to the block and stacked on top of a welded support for the return pipe. The pieces are separate.

The runners I have are plastic, I assume original.

 

 

Thank you times a million for the pic @kbmb02 and thank you everyone else for all the input. Time to go hunt down that other piece 🕵️‍♂️
