Those look used and squished to me. I don't think I have anything that looks like that in my collections, but I have a number of lengths and colors like you show in your background, plus some green ones. The microfilm shows 2 seals 111 117 151, between the cooler and the adapter (up to engine 65,745, which was thru the '62 MY.) Unfortunately, they do not show what should go between the case and the adapter for those engines, so there's an error there. > > The old ones you took out are what they will look like after they have > > been compressed for over 40 years. > > What you have in the picture is a mixture of oil cooler seals and early > > rocker shaft stud seals.

Can you send me some dimensions, Russ? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
