    Due the 22 mm offset, I would guess that is for a generator or alternator pulley. Have to be a heck of a large starter motor to have 22 mm mounting bolt heads. It could be VW air cooled, and its been a long time, but maybe the engine to gearbox mounting bolts; I remember getting at the bolt...

    I would suggest that is the intention, to have one believe they are synonymous. However, there is a difference between explicit and implicit. "Made in Germany' is explicit. 'Germany' implies that it is made in Germany, and one is meant to infer from being labelled 'Germany' that it is made in...

    I do not take it to be the same thing, at all. 'Germany' implies that it may be made in Germany, 'Made in Germany' explicitly states it is. 'Germany' intends that we the consumer will infer that it is made in Germany, 'Made in Germany' explicitly states it is. Deliberate ambiguity to avoid...
