Help with 60 Bug
Hi all,
I had a look over my 60 bug briefly at the weekend - it is awaiting re-work and as its not with me I don't get to see it much. I have three
questions to anyone with a model like this one:
- on the tunnel, near the gearstick, is a twist-knob...what is this for?
- under the back seat, end of the tunnel....my later (69) bug has the chassis number stamped here, but the 60 has a removable plate for inspection
underneath. Should the chassis number be here? What are you able to access underneath, is this the gear select assy?
- did the old beetles like this one have a battery harness assy? Mine doesn't, so do I have to make one up for rego?
Thanks....

1) twist knob is heater... anticlockwise is on ...clockwise is off...(I think :S)
2) chassis no. should also be stamped under back seat...
3) my 60 has a little clip structure (battery harness) holding battery in... it is not holding up to well now either... I'd consider getting a
battery box for it... that way you won't have to worry about your back seat shorting the battery and will have some protection if the battery does
leak... (I'm looking for one for my bug) not sure about rego laws in NSW...but mine passed okay over here..

Of cource it depends on how dodgy your rego guy is. Mine kinda knows that it is an old car and isn't being drivenmuch, and so isn't as strick as
other places...

Heh, my pink slip he only checked the belts and that was it for the interior 
I think the battery tie down strap was the same for all years as far as I know.
The access plate is for the shift coupler, it connects the shifter to the tranny, so if u need to pull out the tranny or the shift rod it lets u get
to it easily
