I was asking Jim about the following line in his response about engine cases:
"I don't know if the new replacement cases are even available with the features that you need for a type 3. " These are the features he refers to:
1) hole in rear of case for oil filler tube.
2) 6mm hole in case for oil cooler stud.
3) threaded holes in rear for rear mount crossbar (69-73 type 3s)
4) cutout in bell housing (AT only)
5) I hear that the late Mexican beetle cases come with built-in oil filtering.
Does this get in the way of the type 3 fan housing?
In addition, if you use a type 1 or universal case you'll also have to plug up
the oil pressure switch hole and the dipstick tube.
So, can anyone who has bought a replacement case recently answer these questions?
The case I looked at definitely has numbers 1 & 3, but I don't recall the rest.
Any answers would be great.
