12volt 130 teeth
If it already has a 6volt flywheel easiest way to fix is to replace starter.  
Converting to a 12volt flywheel and starter requires resetting crankshaft endplay and machining out bell housing and using a starter bushing adapter.
1967 was the first year VW used 12volt system here in the US. ]]> http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/forum/topic_show.pl?pid=24469 Nick R 2948 2012-02-01T17:05:38Z 2012-02-01T17:05:38Z 3 http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/forum/topic_show.pl?pid=24448 Sandsurfer 2012-01-29T14:04:07Z 2012-01-29T14:04:07Z 6 Before reinstalling the flange always make sure the gasket surface of the flange is flat.
Be aware that there are flanges that are different depths, they are not all the same.]]> http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/forum/topic_show.pl?pid=24409 Thomas B 2944 2012-01-26T01:27:12Z 2012-01-26T01:27:12Z 82      Thought that it would be nice to answer the original post on how or what I did to fix the "Bump Stops". If you will recall I had just touched the rubber bump stops making them break off. They had rotted off over the years. I know, some builds just cut them off anyway but I like to keep things original, or at least as much as possible. So here is my solution to the problem based on all the reading I did, thanks all those on the DBA and the Samba. I have to give credit due where it is due. I have just added my twists, thoughts and deviations.
     You will need the following items for each stud needed:
              1- 3/8 x 2 inch carriage bolt
              4- 3/8 flat washers
              2- 3/8 hex nut
              1- 3/8 Fender washer (optional)
              1- 3/8 split lock washer

     The stud assembly is constructed around a 3/8 x 2 inch carriage bolt. Using a file, or for those that happen to have a lathe, remove the corners on the square under the head of the carriage bolt until the 4- 3/8 flat washers will fit against the head of the carriage bolt. Using one of the 3/8 hex nuts, screw it onto the carriage bolt and tighten it against the washers. The nut acts as the spacer that is required to hold the lip off the mount on the trailing arm. I brazed the nut in place to make it a more solid assembly but you most likely will not need to do that.
     When it comes time to attach them to the trailing arms I will grind off what left of the original mount and drill a 3/8 inch hole. I have a 3/8 fender washer that I plan to use between the trailing arm mount and the bump stop but it may not be necessary. I will place the bump stop stud through the hole in the training arm and attach it with a flat washer, lock washer and nut in that order. Here is a picture of an assembled bump stop and one broken down into its component parts. Fairly basic but it at least answers the original post. Hope it works when I attach it to the training arms.

Right now I have no clip, other one will pull out so I have nothing to see how it was done and of course I never owned a buggy or did this on a vw before so something simple like this takes me a few.
Rather ask than mess something up
