My 68 (bought new) did not have one, nor did any of the ones I ever saw at the dealers from that time on. I suppose it is possible that earlier years came with it, but there is no indication of that in the parts list (for any year type 3.) I agree that the front cover of the generator is open so there would be some air flow even with these covers in place. - ******************************* 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/
