A '71 should have the later style cooler and case which takes the latest seals. If you have another combination, it depends on what you have. A case with 8mm oil passages and the cooler has 10mm holes, or visa/versa, you take the special seals. If you have 8mm case and cooler, you take the early t-3 seals, that come in the gasket sets. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
