Support for Heat Exchanger
OE Match replacement heat exchanger support for Porsche 356B
and 356C models, designed to provide support for the original engine heating
system components.

- Porsche 356B 1959-63
- Porsche 356C 1963-65
Diagram ref no 19
The Porsche 356 uses engine-generated heat to supply warm air to the passenger compartment. The heat exchangers form an important part of this system, and their associated supports help maintain correct positioning and secure installation.
This original-style replacement is ideal for repairing damaged, corroded or missing supports during classic Porsche restoration or heating system maintenance.
What Does the Heat Exchanger Support Do?
The support helps secure and position the heat exchanger assembly, maintaining stability and reducing unwanted movement or vibration.
Correct support is important for keeping the heating components properly aligned and preventing unnecessary stress on adjacent parts.
Why Does It Fail?
Over time, exposure to engine heat, moisture, road dirt and corrosion can weaken the original support.
Common problems include rust, distortion, fatigue cracking and damage caused during exhaust or heating system removal.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended when the original support is:
Corroded, cracked or weakened Bent or distorted Loose or no longer providing adequate support Missing during a heating system restorationInspect the surrounding heat exchanger mounting points and associated hardware before installation.
Porsche 356 Heat Exchanger Supports & Heating System Parts
The Porsche 356 heating system relies on correctly mounted heat exchangers and associated components to provide warm air to the passenger compartment.
Ageing supports can become corroded, weakened or damaged, affecting the stability and alignment of the heating assembly.

OEMatch Heat Exchangers — Fit, Function, Confidence
Heat exchangers recover heat from exhaust gases to supply cabin heating and assist thermal management. For Porsche models they help maintain warm-up behaviour and exhaust routing while limiting fumes reaching the cabin. OEMatch supplies replacements selected for these applications.
Available Types
- Exhaust-to-air heat exchangers in stainless or aluminised steel for air-cooled engines
- Heater cores and heater boxes for cabin heating in classic and modern Porsche models
Understanding OEMatch Heat Exchangers
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original heat exchangers.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the heat exchangers and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM heat exchangers engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. Heat exchangers capture waste heat from exhaust gases and direct it to the heating system or auxiliary circuits; they help preserve engine temperature, reduce warm-up time and support safe cabin ventilation when intact.
Benefits Include
- Restores cabin heating and occupant comfort in air-cooled applications
- Reduces the risk of exhaust gases entering the vehicle cabin
- Improves exhaust routing and thermal efficiency during warm-up
Why Heat Exchangers Wear and Fail
- Corrosion and perforation from condensation and road salt
- Cracks or fatigue from repeated thermal cycling or impact
- Carbon and soot buildup restricting heat transfer and flow
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Heat Exchangers
Replacing a worn or leaking heat exchanger preserves cabin heating, prevents exhaust contamination and helps maintain correct exhaust back pressure for engine performance. OEMatch catalogues thousands of Porsche part numbers and cross-references to support repairs and restorations; products are selected to suit classic and modern Porsche applications.
Advantages
- Corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless or aluminised steel
- Formed components that match expected mounting and routing for Porsche models
- Suitable for restoration, maintenance and model-specific repairs
