What type of cooling hole are you refering to? Are you refering to the open areas around the commutator?
No, not at all -- this is a circular hole... about 1"? that needs to mate up to an opening on the fan housing. Air from the fan housing blows into that special hole to cool the generator. I believe that the air *exits* via the commutator hole.
The Beetle generator does not have such a hole. -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org </x-flowed>
