The correct size for 12V type 3s is 9.5 x 1000. The Beetle uses a different length. I think Keith has the Gates part # that will work. BTW, the most important thing to get long life out of your type 3 belt (and the generator bearings) is to NOT overtighten the belt. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
