The MT uses a thermal aux air regulator that sticks down into the case and mounts right on top. I don't remember the condensor being that close to the spring anchor; do you have the right Bosch condensor? And is it mounted flat against the dist body? I assume that you now have the right type 3 orientation of the dist drive gear. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
