That chassis no comes back an ****43H registration

Yep the third digit is the model year, first two are the type number 2=type 2, 3=kombi

From the chassis no, it is a 1970 model, Aug 69 to July 1970 It should be a type 23 Kombi van

Crossover should be post 71 with the relays under the fusebox. Pre 71 had them mounted separately under the dash.

It depends on which fuse box you have? as it is a 12 row fusebox there are pre 71 and post 71 versions

The simple answer the van has been wired up wrong, the ignition feed to the coil is going through a fuse which it shouldn't hence the engine stopping when the generator stops charging.

Looks like the old headlamp converters from RHD drive to LHD, popular when the froggys would only allow yellow headlamps.

I have had some more tools made for unscrewing the light/wiper switch escutcheons, fits 6V or 12V switches in one tool. Laser cut in stainless steel. £6.50 including postage and packing. PM for payment details.

Brown/white goes to S (headlamp dipswitch) Black/White/green goes to 49a Black green goes to R (right indicator)

Be using more petrol as well, the engine will be doing more bangs per mile. 195/70R15C gives you the same diameter as stock tyres.

Pattern ones are *****, I always buy them from a VW dealer 113945515H for the two pin switch.

The switches are wired in tandem, one switch fails you won't notice until the other one fails.

Is the shaft nylon bush correctly fitted, the hole in the bush and sleeve must line up with the retaining bolt, otherwise you can get excessive sideways shaft movement. Beetle shafts are smaller.

You have a short somewhere on the wires to the indicator lamps no magic cure, you have to trace the wiring through, and why have you a 30A fuse for the hazards?

Should be the same size, 38mm o/d 20mm i/d measure the washer.

Could be parts of the valve guide seals

You don't need anything fancy like an AGM battery. The charging system is basic and more suited to standard batteries. Varta, Banner, Exide, Lucas are quality makes. Bosch are rebadged Varta, Halfords rebadged Lucas have the benefit of warranty replacement at any Halfords store if needed.
