I've seen several different versions of thermostats used interchangably in our engines. As long as yours both have the same fittings, top and bottom, they should both work as long as they are still working. > 2) How can I test these? I like to bolt them into one of their support brackets, so they can't over extend themselves, and then stick them in a pan of water on the stove. When the water gets above 70C the thermostat should expand and fill the bracket. > 3) I need the bracket and linkage for a Type 3. Any leads would > be appreciated. Hard to find. If you can find a shop that has torn down engines they may have them lying around. More likely they were just bewildered by how different they were from beetle parts and they threw them out. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
