werent they a fiat knockoff? maybe try a fiat club's forum.

Yes they are a fiat knock off
Actually badged FSM made in poland under licence from fiat.
Looking for a starter to see if the engine will run if not i might think about plan b which is beetle engine and box in it in which case i'll be looking for a type 3 rear end.

I've got a mate who's into these and he reckons that starters/generators are rare and very expensive. I think this should be inducement enough to put a VW motor in it! Come on, you know you want to!
