He'll need the usual points, plugs and condensor. Good luck finding points for a stock 30hp engine.

He'll also need sump gaskets and tappet cover gaskets. Good luck finding these for a 30hp engine.

He'll probably have to import all the parts unless anyone here knows where this stuff can be found locally. If so, please post here so all us 30hp owners can take advantage.

Hi

I did some scratching and have a box of 10 of the points for the 54 to 60 Beetle. They are German Bremi(No 1059 equivalent to Echlin CS301). Price R60 each.
