Just thought I would let folks on the Type3 list know about my minor bit of good fortune. My lovely 1969 VW Type4's original starter motor finally died this morning. My heart sank as I thought about the rarity of Type4s here in Australia and about the big bucks I would have to spend to get it fixed or even have one air freighted from Europe or USA. I removed it and walked down the road to the local auto-electrician's workshop here in rural Queensland. When we cleared the grime off it, there was the part number. Its a Type3 number and still common here. I've now installed a reconditioned one for only AU$90 (US$48). Whew!!! What a relief! Thank heavens for Type3s!!!!!!
