[T2] 75 Clutch disc from Bus Depot compatability problem

[Mike Benthin]

Pulled the 75 engine, got a trisquare "socket",  yes, disc was oily (bad 
flywheel seal it seems).
    Picked up the kit (for late 74-75) and it's a LUK (not Sachs as 
specifed with a BD part number in marker showing 48258)- the right 
diameter, 215mm, but it was not flat on one side as my old one was- the 
shaft hole is "centered" in the disk with the 4 big springs plate 
sticking out both sides, more on one side. The old one had 6 smaller 
springs and was totally flush one one side and JUST fit into the 
flywheel (obviously for 215mm size).  The replacement could not be 
placed against the flywheel.  I called Bus Depot about the nonfit and 
they were very nice, said the right one would be sent with return 
shipping.  Arrived in SAME physical conformation, but was a Sachs, now, 
number 1861845132 marked near center, 1849190125 on disc.  The old one 
is marked (only center is visible) I think 1861544135.  Googling shows 
the 135 should be an 035 for 75 bus.  None of those come up as part 
numbers on BD site, not even the 48258.  The LUK numbers google as for 
New Beetle and Golf? As I said before, we had switched the trans (later 
one?) and needed longer studs and bolts and a different starter.  Pretty 
sure flywheel is stock.  I have a spare disk for a 78 I think, but it is 
227mm or so diameter. Help!
