So I have:
1x fanshroud without the heater air ducts (CB and vw industrial motor specific)
2x top tinware covers over the barrels.
1x back tinware
1x front tinware
1x tinware behind pulley
So what goes underneath ?
Is there anything else that is specific to the CB motor ?
Photo's would be good !
?
From memory there is like a little sump guard bolted to the bottom of the motor, I will check mine out for you but it is at the farm and I wont be back there untill next thur
Guys,
Yes, many seemed to come with Protection Plates but I dont think they were on all vehicles. Its something I have never been able to confirm.
The other piece of tinware that is different to the Beetle is the front plate with the opening hinged hole for the crank handle. I understand this is
Type 2 specific but there is no part number in the manual for any of the tinware.

yep I have the sump guard............and yes i have the CB front plate with the hole.
Bill, what goes under the pushrod tube area or is it just bare ?

Cheers Craig.
Wow, Craig, you’re scaring me. The engine in the pictures doesn’t have the “under barrel” tin pieces in place (Item 5). These are extremely
critical for cooling a VW engine. If they aren’t there you get terrible hot spots on the bottom of the cylinders. Poor old VW engines suffer
enough in Australia, even with all the tin on there. “Cool Tin” is better of course. Sorry mate, I recommend you pull the heads off and install
them ASAP.
Cheers

This appears to be not specific to CB...dog house .....and item 7 and 8 I'm not sure about...
Quite correct John, as always. Sorry I should have pointed that out, it’s not CB. I just got it off the internet somewhere. I like items 7 &
8 too. Don’t know what they’re off, perhaps stationary engines or in applications somewhere in the world where the (smelly) cooling air is still
fed straight to the heater ducts? I don’t know.
The Country Buggy parts manual never had a picture like this in it so that makes it a bit hard. I’m guessing if you find a late 60s parts book with
the correct numbers and picture in it you could use the CB parts manual to work out exactly what was used, but I can’t find that. Good luck.
Cheers
Tony
7 and 8 are 36hp tinware.
