1.6 CT Aircooled?

IIRC.. most of the gaskets are the same/similar to the type 1 engines, with a few type4 stuff thrown in (as its cooling system is similar to the type 4)

Have you tried the usuall suspects such as GSF, Just Kampers, maybe CSP or VW heratige or perhaps dare I say volkspares?? VW???

They have been obsolete for a number of years. The type 1 gasket set covers a lot, but you'll need the push rod tube seals from a water boxer.
The oil cooler base seal is nla so you may have to use sealant on the old one.

Spent ages trying to get full set for one of these, no joy anywhere. went with what Laurie said above plus bought some gasket paper of e-bay to make oil cooler stand gasket.
