yep...  SR15X is the standard 12V Bug starter that uses bushing,
SR17X is the self supporting 12V Type 1, 2 and 3 starter. I always liked the SR17X's but not as a wiper motor.  Roll Eyes

my inside connection says it will work. I will buy one and let you know....

the SR17 is .8 kW

BTW Sheep was the most creative parts guy @ BH. Who else would try to sell parts of the office furniture as VW parts?

can you keep us posted Jim?    it sounds like a good choice for my own engine which is getting put together over the coming winter and the price of those isn't bad either....if the shipping from the states is less than $70 it'll be cheaper than ordering a stock one from the UK.

The SR68X works like a charm in Type 1.
Installed it last week.
