I have just scored a copy of a parts book for the Hormiga!! Thanks to a great guy I have never met....thanks Ziggy

Some of the part numbers have the prefix "BAN" followed by 6 digits just like the vw parts....eg BAN 407 331. Other part numbers appear as 9 digit vw parts.

Any idea what the BAN might stand for??? I am thinking an outsourced part...maybe from Brazil?? Any ideas???

Is it digital? I could add it to the site...

Update:
Here it is in the Technical section of the site - Hormiga Parts Manual

well all I know about mexican hormiga is that it was very boxy and it was powered by engine from VW beetle and it was in size of it. It reached around 90km/h and had interior very similar to barndoors (speedometer,steering wheel and few buttons). You could access the engine under the passenger bench seat (very strange). That's (yet) pretty much all of the info about squary hormiga Smile
