I am looking for the gasket that goes between the alternator and the alternator tin/snorkel on a 1974 2.0. Got the part number from the local Porsche dealer but NLA.
It is a VW number 022903203. Searched but no luck. Hopefully I just did a crummy search. Any help greatly appreciated.

I just got some thick gasket material and cut my own. I also glue a piece of the gasket paper to the rear metal cover plate where the positive terminal connects, just for little extra insulation

I would check if 914rubber.com has them.

+1 I did the same. Somebody on the Samba posted a template you could print but I couldn't get it to scale right so just used the cover plate and a compass to mark the gasket material.

That's the one I tried but never could get it to print right on a Windows machine. Spent more time fiddle farting with it than it took to just use the cover as a template. Maybe it works better on a Mac?

Thanks for the replies! I think I will try to make the gasket. Don't want to wait for shipping from Australia but at least someone makes it. Didn't show up in my searches. Thanks again for all the help, this is a great place.

Here's a simple gasket template I made with Powerpoint. The Powerpoint file is below. It has 2 concentric circles with 3 through bolt holes placed 120 degree apart from each other. I printed this then with a razor knife outlined the shape on a piece of gasket material and cut it out with scissors.

Use some JB weld black silicone ,IMO its not a place for a paper gasket the original I always find not seating properly anyway.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to be working on the engine tomorrow, hopefully I get to this point in reassembly. There appears to be quite a difference in the Malcolm engineering gasket and the templates.
