FAQ 58

Question: I've got a heck of a mess with an alternator pulley on what I think is a 74 superbeetle. My son replaced the alternator . . . did a good job, except the pulley rubs against the face of the housing. Is there a trick to getting the spacing . . . maybe we've lost a part.

Answer: One of the spacers may be on wrong, or out of order, or the pulley is on backward.

As far as I know the Super is like all the other later Beetles. I say this all the time, but it's good advice: Get John Muir's book "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive". My full review is at:
