question for you purists
Vonripsnorter - June 4th, 2008 at 08:11 PM

Ok guys, heres a question for you purists out there!!
Take a look at this video, Take note of the red coil sticker (correct way up) as apposed to the usual yellow one we see (which is 'correct' when it is upside down)

Good to see I have the correct unpainted coil & bracket as the picture below is of my engine but did the Aussie & Kiwi beetles have a red sticker??
Also note the grey/green HT leads

So what years was this "Correct" for us here as our Aussie/kiwi Beetles were quite unique in the world from 1965 on so I wouldn't mind preserving mine as it should be, a bit anal I know but there are some out there that will fully understand & even know the correct answer to this!
As you can see, this is my first post on here so be kind :)

Hi Vonripsnorter, I believe they did have a red sticker! If you go to youtube look up The Shape of Quality part 3
you will see the assembly of the motor not to far in to the film. GREAT FOOTAGE BY THE WAY! i think it is circa 66-67.

your pushing shit up a hill here as the only sticker thats available now is the yellow one .

Unless you get someone to make thered sticker then this is the only option I will have some reds if you manage to get them done
