I would get a 6mm tap and tap that hole, as well as the other one, as deep as you can. Grind down the end of the tap so you can really tap it all the way to the bottom. Then buy a bolt that will reach to the bottom of the tapped hole (you can adjust the reach by adding a couple of flat washers under the head, if necessary.) Use Loctite as well as a lock washer. > There is one other thing that needs fixing while I'm in here. There is a > bolt that goes through the fan housing.

I looked at an engine and I can see that the bolt head is on the outside. The parts list shows bolt and washer on the inside and a nut inside. For some reason I don't have a spare fan housing downstairs so I can't see what that nut looks like. It may be a half thickness (jam) nut like Russ says. The VW part # is N 111 061. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
