<x-flowed>Just finished searching the web for Autolinea, which is a subsidiary of Hubneer Industria Mecanica Ltda located in Curitaba Province of Brazil. The link to the main page is http://www.hubner.com.br/ingles/assisten.htm which is the english page for the company. The page for the new engine case is http://www.hubner.com.br/ingles/carca.htm but this doesn't give a whole lot of information. There is also a seller on ebay right now (everything-for-sale) who has one of the new cases up for auction, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1813559147&r=0&t=0, with a buy-it-now price of $299.00. If you follow the link off of their website http://www.vwparts.net which is http://www.vwparts.net/photos/cases/ there are some good quality photos of the case from many views. As far as I can see from the photos the case is of good quality with clean machine work done to it. With all of the benefits that everyone lists for the Type 4 case since it is pure aluminum, this might actually be a good alternative for those looking for a new case to build a stock or performance motor with. I know that I am seriously considering one for my notch even though I have a perfect condition AS21 case already. I can't wait until Jake Raby finishes his inspections/testing and we can get a report on how the actual quality of the casting/machining is. Greg Irick Silverdale, WA gregi@vwtype3.org '65 Notchback with a Britax sliding rag top. Plans for a 1679cc motor using an AS21 case and thick walled 88mm P&C's, with a Resto-Custom flavor. Preps underway for installing some NOS rocker panels, lifting the body from the pan for a pan restoration and welding in some IRS trailing arm mounts onto a swingaxle rear suspension. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe </x-flowed>
