Wow, excellent summary and really nice photos of what you found.

I did not know the generator commutator had a date code.

Are you asking if the cylinder tin should be 3-hole?
Yes.

Should be a cheese head screw, not the hex head.

The parts manual says different - N 10 212 3, bolt, hex head 6x12.

You’re right it seems to have been superseded only sometime after 67 with 2 hex bolts.

The fan cover screws seem to have been hex bolts throughout.

I think the confusion comes from the 356 community, where the purists are much more anal.

356/912 fan shrouds, which are no more than modified VW stampings, are held in place by 2 hex bolts on the ends. I have never seen an original 36 or 40hp VW engine with anything other than cheese head screws holding the fan shroud in place.

Anyone know if there is anything unique to the Heater box tin, no the box itself, but rather the "Sled" that runs under the pushrod tubes with the flap?


Looking for one for an early 55 (jan) engine, and not sure if I am looking for something specifc.

Thanks
