I have a picture but it > needs to be developed... you really gotta see this! I think we've all seen this. It's just a beetle generator installed in the wrong car. It will work fine until it overheats and burns out from lack of cooling. It doesn't have the hole in the bottom which sources the usual type 3 cooling air. OTOH, it's drive end flange has holes in it, so SOME air will be SUCKED in there. This will cool it somewhat. - ******************************* 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/
