Yup. Air cooled has starter battery on passenger side. And yes, I
converted my Westy to a Jetta 2.0 I4 (ABA).

The diesels have the starter battery in the engine bay AFAIK.

I was especially curious about using this Interstate battery in the
driver side battery box as I thought this box might be a different
dimension than passenger side. Also read one email speculating about
slight difference in dimension between the group 41 and this
Interstate battery causing fit problems.
