Yes, there was a thermostat bracket that mounted to that stud, but
there is a lot of other stuff that you need, too. The bracket is easy
to find (it may be the same as a beetle) but the type 3 specific
parts are rare and costly. The main thing is the bell crank that
mounts to the top of the right head. Do you have that?
