I have nothing confirmed, but the early Bosch air-cooled inventories are most certainly drying up at the parts distributors we buy from here at the shop. 

As a side note, however, the set of Ignition wires my boss just bought for his '67 Beetle were actually German made plug wires that looked dead-on for stock OE VW plug wires they sold years ago, as opposed to the Mexico-made Bosch wires.  And they were cheaper to boot. 

But, yes.  I am afraid those days are upon us.  Start saying goodbye to all the good stuff, and hello to Chinese made, second-rate stuff.

The harsh reality is that they are making way more money off of components for big steaming piles like the ones I deal with every day than these old cars.  I guess it was inevitable that they would cease production on this old stuff.

Now I shall go in the corner, and cry softly.

Do you know what brand your boss purchased?
