<< I am still confused. Why would I need to open up the bellhousing? I
am already running a 200mm clutch disc and flywheel. I just went out
to the garage and grab the box for the clutch that I bought in Hershey.
It is a 200mm disc, PN 311 141 031. Is the flywheel smaller in
diameter just because of the gear teeth difference between 6 and 12
volt?
Looking at CIP's website, they list 180mm clutch stuff for 62-65 Types
3s and 200mm clutch stuff for 67-73 Type 3s. They don't list anything
for 66 Type 3s.
I will pull both starters tomorrow and compare. I will need to check
out my 6V starter anyway. >>
John, what you've got is a 109 tooth 200mm clutch flywheel. A 1 year only
type of thing. That's why nobody lists it. You'll have to open up the bellhousing
area to use the 130 tooth 200mm clutch flywheel, and change the bushing or
use the AT starter. It might be easier to have your 6 volt starter rebuilt or
even replaced, as opening up the bellhousing is a lot of work (BTDT). Just
remember, if you decide to swap to the 12 volt starter and flywheel, you'll have to
reset the end play of the crank for the new flywheel. I hope this helps clear
up the confusion. : )
