I would like help to identify the age or build date of my Bosch starter and generator. The starter has the following embossed in the casting where the solenoid is attached. ALLG 56L. The next number is embossed into the stator laminations and is AL7EEF O 5/6 L8.
The generator has the following number embossed LJ/GEO 200/6/2600 L19. These two components were used on a C engine and my car being restored is a late 56 build and 1957 registered. I would like to use components from 56/57 years for originality. Thanks.

Re: Identify age of Bosch Starter and Generator
The starter is post 1961 and does not look anything like the starter that came in a 56 or 57. It is a proper Porsche starter, though

Got it Jim. All info is spot on. The starter date code was very corroded and I was able to guess at 63 build.

The starter is date-coded "4U" (April 1963).
