Woke up at my usual time and wanted to investigate a mystery I had been wondering about.В In identifying the bus of this year there are three critical pieces of info in the engine compartment (engine number, VIN number, and Chassis plate) and one in the cab (m-plate).В There is also a chassis number in the cab, but that only was used internally to vw and doesn’t line up with the VIN number at all.В So these data points can be used to ensure that a bus is not hacked togeather from a bunch of different bus’ or a covered up stolen bus.В So far I’d found and decoded the m-plate (see the first post on this blog), found the vin number that is stamped just to the right of the engine where the apron meets the chassis and found that the engine number doesn’t exist on the replacement case that my engine has.
The only one of these datapoints that should be there that I hadn’t seen was the Chassis plate.В For a 1963 it should on the right side of the engine compartment bulkhead.В In photos of my bus’ engine compartment I looked around this area and only saw the voltage regulator.В I looked on other bus’ and saw that their voltage regulator was put more to the right (closer to the wheel well) than mine.В When going to bus fest I talked with VolksFire and looked over a lot of this 1960 panel (the shasta rollover bus) and saw that his was missing the chassis plate and so I was wondering if mine could be missing as well.В On the train ride down to Fresno I read quite a few chapters out of the Idiot’s guide and saw that he lists the voltage regulator as being either on top of the generator or placed in the engine compartment.В Seeing this I grabbed my photos again and looked to find the ones of the spare parts that the previous owner had in the bus, one of which was the old generator.В The photo shows the original voltage regulator on it, so now I know why mine has a different placement.В The real question was why did they mount it where the chassis plate was?
