recently acquired a small collection of old VW parts that included a 
box of copper rings that I thought were those seals. Were they used 
on early 40 hp engines, or just on the 36? Anyone need some?  

I also got a BUNCH of float bowl gaskets which probably only fit 36

Jim, I plan to begin a rebuilt on a 36 hp engine in the near future.  I
could use the parts you mentioned and anything else you might have that is
applicable.  Bring them to the Invasion.  I will be there.
