Jim A are you out there? I'm here. I think I already explained your options re the flywheel; your best option is to have Berg install a 12V ring gear on the original 180mm 6V flywheel. If the generators are the same diameter, I don't think there are any other mods this will need. I strongly recommend that you NOT do this because of the oil pump studs. The "adaptors" are poorly designed anyway, but your early engine will have 6mm oil pump studs which will be even weaker. You're talking about a lot of work just to lead up to a big disappointment and the destruction of a good early motor. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
