- I think both Aircooled and WBX oil drain plugs are the same. I use same oil temp sensor as a drain plug in my Splitty and old WBX 1.9. - I can check jack points for you. I think Splitty jack points are smaller. - my ‘64 Splitty has a floor high/low beam switch. Dash light switch is pull type with ivory or black knob. I may be interested in the jack and possibly the engine case.
