Have you looked to see if the rod is there? It is easily seen without disassembling anything. If the rod is gone you know that the flaps can't be there. If it's there, you can't be sure. You can verify the flaps by removing the generator and feeling down the cooling air hole in its saddle, or by removing the 2-wire SP wire holder that is just to the front of the right opening where the fan housing dumps air toward the cylinders. In the latter case you have to bend a wire to stick in there and feel around. Also look at the Bentley manual ch. 3, fig. 11-1, item 8. You should have a part like this on each side. They are often forgotten and not so obvious if missing, but they are critical. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
