The bottom groove is left from the magna oil seals. If you look at the drawing the top part is the Magna dizzy, the bottom is the VW dizzy and the middle is what the Magna dizzy looks like after you have machined it.

The vertical dashed line is a reference line, you widen(4 mm to 5 mm) the the Magna seal groove back towards the body of the dizzy and deepen it(22.7 mm to 22.5 mm).

Note the two o-ring seals

Why not post up the photos and do a quick writeup and make it a sticky re modifying magna dizzy to suit a vw. I know that there are many that can learn from you, me included.

Thanks, Kevin
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
