They might be available from VW, but it is sometimes hard to get the right one once the MC has been changed you don't know which one to order. In my experience, these often look bad, but usually seal okay. If yours is leaking the most likely reason is that you didn't clean out the rust in the pocket where it nests, or you don't have the plastic elbow seated all the way in yet. > Two: I've never removed a T3 motor before and was wondering which side > of the cooling air boot you remove when dropping the engine?

BTW are those available?? The boot originally came with 2 clamps. Having just one is a sure sign that the engine has been removed before, which was almost certain anyway in a car this old. I just remove the engine end and invert the bellows back into itself and into the plenum in the body. I may have a good used oil filler bellows, but you need to be careful to not assume that anything you break can be replaced. Many parts are NLA. -- ******************************* 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/
