Pancake engine tinware
Hi all,
I'm completing the engine rebuild on my 72 type 3, 1600 and read an article in issue #35 of VWMA regarding the cooling system of the pancake engines.
It is showing a photo that these engines have "cooling tins" that sit on the underside of the barrels, (not to be confused with the deflector plates
that clip onto the head studs). My engine did not come apart with these and is very complete, it still has the thermostat fitted, also the workshop
manual makes no mention of these.
Can anyone confirm if they are applicable to my model and if so if anyone has a set.
Thanks.
Cheers, Adam

Picked up a set from Mick Motors, he said they were developed for the pancake engines to improve cooling so probably weren't a standard item. They
were pretty cheap to.
On another subject that may test everyones knowledge and to satisfy my curiosity. I'm doing some rust repairs at the moment with the body and pan
apart. I've repaired a section in the air chambers in the rear quarters that direct cooling air to the engine under the deck lid of the notch.
Looking straight down on both sides there are what look to be electric horns, they are bolted from inside the luggage area and have no wiring, the
main horn is at the front of the car. I'm wondering if they are some sort of vibration dampener? They look like they from the factory, there's no
problem but wondering what they are for.
Any ideas!
Cheers, Adam

Forget the question, pulled them out to get better access for rust proofing and yes they are electric horns with no wiring to them, very neatly
installed. What a stupid idea though, mounting horns directly above a noisy air cooled engine?

My guess is they were for an alarm. Putting them in a weird location meant that if someone set off the alarm they couldn't easily find and disable
them.
