Why?
I own it but I don't know why.

If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Re: Why?
Because 356 parts hold their value no matter what.

Re: Why?
You're hoping to build a car around it someday.

Re: Why?
So you can utilize that old VW generator you have been saving for years?

Re: Why?
I'm gonna guess that the area where the generator sits was filed to a larger diameter… in order to accommodate an alternator I presume… and the larger alternator body protrusions also precipitated cutting off the back bolt mount for the oil filler??? just a guess...

Re: Why?
The large part of a VW alternator is at the pulley end so the wrong bolt hole is cut of if that is the purpose.
