I am still confused.  Why would I need to open up the bellhousing?  I 
am already running a 200mm clutch disc and flywheel.  I just went out 
to the garage and grab the box for the clutch that I bought in Hershey. 
 It is a 200mm disc, PN 311 141 031.  Is the flywheel smaller in 
diameter just because of the gear teeth difference between 6 and 12 
volt?

Looking at CIP's website, they list 180mm clutch stuff for 62-65 Types 
3s and 200mm clutch stuff for 67-73 Type 3s.  They don't list anything 
for 66 Type 3s.

I will pull both starters tomorrow and compare.  I will need to check 
out my 6V starter anyway.
