Re: [T3] T3 generators question

[Chris Wright <Christopher.Wright@Sun.COM>]

<x-flowed>Thanks Jim.  Looking on Russ's web site at generator specs I saw the 
38amp spec listed against a Bosch 450X12/2700-14V38AA32.
The part number I found on the Samba for that was 311-906-031C, (someone 
is selling one for a Type3). 
The 38amp gennie in Russ's specs had a regulator Bosch number  
UA14V38A.   I couldn't find a part number for that, but I don't have a 
T3 parts book.

The 30amp version John has on his car is 311-906-031F.  The 30amp 
regulator he has is 113 903 803E (14V 30A) Bosch no. 0190 350 068 which 
the Bosch book says is right for his Gennie.

So I deduced (probably wrongly) that at some point type 3s had a 38amp 
gennie and it later was changed to the 30amp and used the late type1 
regulator.  Maybe the 38amp was an M code?

Anyway, your response has reassured him that hes got the right one and 
it will get hot, so he's happy.  It's just the mystery of the 38amp 
version I was left with.
