Hello, I made the 57mm clearance but now the opening is way too big !! When you now put the clearanced 12V flyweel on you're crankshaft without using the 4 dowel pins, you will feel that the flyweel has a lot of play. If you measure you're crankshaft it is 53.4 mm at the frontside and 54.7 mm behind the step. So I think that the 57 and a quarter mm clearance must be 54,7 mm. Correct me if i'm wrong. But still a great video.
Very interesting. I have a later 12v gearbox in my '63 Beetle am trying to restore her back to standard (ish). I now have a running (but poorly) 1200 6v '64 engine, but am currently running a 1600 TP 12v. Should I even consider putting in the '64 1200 or just sack it off as a bad idea?
You can’t really machine something that thin, as it’s a stamped product, but you could probably attempt to dremel it or create a punch style process. I’ve never tried it as I’ve collected 40 horse shims, but I suppose it’s possible to modify one if a person was careful enough. Making 100% sure there were no burrs or raised edges would be critical.
You explained this step flywheel. Thanks
Thank you for the video. Helped a lot with you providing the measurements. Will save me some time and headache.
Glad to hear it!
Lot of knowledge going on here. Thank you so much
1966 Type II/III VW's came with 6V 200mm flywheels Part# 211 105 271 C
Great information. I didn’t know the difference in the shims so Thankyou for that and Merry Christmas!
Same to you! Merry Christmas!
Great Video! Thanks
AWSOME explanation!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I used to run a 200mm 6V flywheel and 6V starter on 40HP with 12V

You’re saying you still have a Swing Axle, but it’s from a 12v car? So a 67 transaxle then?
Or is your 63 on a later I.R.S. pan?
Are you able to machine 12 volt flywheel shims to fit over 40 hors crank as 40 horse shims aren't available anywhere

👍
I want this done but can’t find your contact info.
other u tube wanna be why go threw all that when you can by a 6v 200 flywheel and do it right and just swap out.
I’d rather modify a German flywheel than buy a low quality aftermarket one from China, plus is much cheaper for me to do this and keep the German one.
Maybe because a 6v flywheel won’t give you 12v teeth?
