beetle engines & tinware
is the physical size (external) of a 1200 the same as a 1600 and therefore the tinware the same?

1600 is bigger, and if I am correct you will have to snip out some tin around the engine bay in an early bug to get a 1600 to fit.

will the tinware for the 1600 fit in the engine bay for the 1200? or are the engine bays different in sizing?

The 1500s 1600 and I think 1300TPs are wider - the engines bays in later models are a bit longer (I think) and wider. Need to do a snip of the tinware
to get a later engine into a Oval, for instance... and the sealing rubber is still a TIGHT fit... might even have tin rubbin on body. Mine does...
