Some type 4s came with the bellows. Some of them had engines which were "sealed" around the beltline, like the beetles and 914s. Those didn't need a bellows. Some of the type 4s had engines that were "open" around the edges, like our type 3s, and those engines, by necessity, had a bellows and ductwork. I'm not sure, but it's possible that all type 4s actually came this way. The '72 fastback 411 that I work on is like this. IIRC, it has a bellows and a duct that diverts upwards so it can suck air in from the louvers that must be in the deck lid. I think the type 4 wagons had a bellows that just went straight to the rear, very much like the type 3 setup. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
