A new split sheet metal part

If you ever tool up to produce the complete rear package tray they will sell quickly. I would have bought several from that cat in Poland if there was any way to get a hold of him

looking great !
Will there be smaller patches available, like only the dimples and possibly the rear corner?

Yes, the side sections with the dimples. For sure early oval still has the same.

Mika, are you talking about the 3 dimples section of the luggage tray ? How long were these used ? I need a right one for an early oval.

What you are tellimg me is that getting one will be a real challenge...

virtanen · Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2021 3:10 am Post subject: Re: A new split sheet metal part

No Marcus I don't. My plan is to make repair sections for the sides of the luggage tray.

This generator is dated 12.42, so it's used for a 43. Cast iron pulley.

Mika, don´t waste yor time in doubbleprojects.

virtanen · Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:37 am Post subject: Re: A new split sheet metal part

I thought it had a cast iron pulley for generator too, but was there one more version between them? I will check what my collection says Smile

You mean with 3 holes on engine.
How about the generator pulley? I should have made my question more specific.
Thanks.

virtanen · Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2021 6:02 am Post subject: Re: A new split sheet metal part

I think it still have the cast iron version.

Mika, can you tell which pulley is correct for the early 1131 ccm 1943 Kübel?

virtanen · Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2021 2:10 am Post subject: Re: A new split sheet metal part

1944-50 generator pulley, this early version reguires 9 shims, when later 7 shims.

see the difference to 1951-53 (on the right side) pulley:
