Generator Date Code

Another part with appropriate date code. After getting the generator out of the engine fan shroud yesterday, it was much easier to see the markings.

Thanks to a Manufacturing Date Codes on Porsche 356 Parts article, I was able to determine that 3R on a Bosch component translates to March 1960. Looks like another original part. Nice.

For reliability sake, I will probably send this out for rebuild. It appears that Zims is the current go-to, and has a good reputation.

I’ve yet to be able to find a code on the coil. May have to do some wire brushing to get to this one.
