Great! This will help me when I put my engine back together as well since it
was missing the thermostat and linkage as well but at least the flaps are
still there.

Prompted by good advice here, I am about to re-install the thermostat in
my 72 Squareback engine. I have the tin and the manifold etc out of the
way and have un-wired the flap...right side. And, I have the pieces for
the thermostat assembly.
But, how does the rod connect to the flap? There are two holes in that
inside part of the flap where it obviously connects. Which hole, top or
bottom, should be used...if it matters?
Then, does that rod just thread through the hole...needing no circlip or
anything? I can rehearse this part of the job on disassembled spare parts
in my collection. Unfortunately, those parts have the flap wired in open
position too...with no rod left in the flap.
There's no pictures of those details in my manuals.
I did a cooling flaps removal tutorial last year for a guy who needed a
set. The flap assembly came off the 69 engine I got from Keith the year
before. It shows the rod in the top hole, with a thin washer and circlip.
Here's
a couple of photos from that tutorial.
