According to the microfilm, the late bell crank assembly is the A version, implying that there was an early version. The late one is supposed to work with early cars if you replace the rod that goes down to the thermostat. I don't think there's any chance of being able to buy a new one, but you might be able to make one if you can't find one here, or at some place like Bill & Steve's. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
