Hi everybody

Take a look.

I will enjoy to get responses of any kind. Maybe about mistakes or about body numbers and dates
related to changes. Just to refine the infos.
Cheers, Carsten.

Fantastic!! Great site!! Very informative.

I just found out that my Heb is manufactured the 28 oktober 1949.
I will love to see more of this site. Let all of us Heb owners help each other to find out more differences.

Regarding the small gas tank: It contains 40 liters as well even if it looks smaller.

I have a few questions that I would like to figure out.

When did they change from:
1. Three spoke steering wheel to batwing?
2. Black rubber mats to brown rubber mats?
3. Bolt down seats to seats with rails?
4. Small gas tank to big?
5. Front axle with short shock absorbers to new front axle with high towers?

I refer to the factory notes: From "Was anders wurde"

For the ordinary beetles the following changes were made:

* 2june-49 Ch.nr 1-106 636 Export models were introduced. Changed from Nitro paint to konsthartz paint.
* Aug -49 Ch.nr 1-0116 375 Change from small gas tank to big.

* Aug -49 Ch.nr 1-117 053 Changed from single to dobble actioned chock absorbers at the front and rear axle. (from short to long chocks in the front).

* Okt -49 ch.nr 1-0124 032 Changed to brown rubber mats.

My theori is that all body changes took place approximately one month later in the Hebmullers. ( Only a guess). Please confirm if possible.

My Heb has ch.nr 1-0117945 so it was probably equipped with the later type of chock absorbers.

Hopefully many others of you Heb owners can add more info.

Hi!

My Heb has Ch-Nr. 125391 (Body 225 from 17.11.1949) and it has the small gas tank! So i think it isn't correct that every change at Hebmüller is only one month later then VW from Wolfsburg!
It is also interesting to know, that the rear lid on my car has the long dimples!
I know there is a lot not wrong on my car but this parts are origional!

Sorry - Claus you are right! But I like :beer: :beer: :beer: !

Servus :d

Hi Roland,

Thanks for your info. It seems that it could be up to three months delay on Hebmuller body changes compare to the beetle. For the chassis changes it probably changed the same time as on the beetle.

Thomas

Hi Roland,

Do you have the original front axle on your Heb?
If so, which type is it? The old with short shocks or the newer type.

Thomas
