And sent it back to the vendor with a desparate plea to replace it. They did.Installed. Primed the carbs…and it fired right up.I had messed with so much, I bas… -

Looking good, John! Very legit with that wheel.Roy: I have a TD dashboard & glovebox door. I will make you a tracing of the door if you’d like. Be aware though that some of our members who have made glove compartments had to monkey with the measurements a bit to make them work with their replica.

stuck valve, maybe? I’d pull the valve covers and see if all the rockers are where they should be.

John, not trying to hijack this thread but, one of my upcoming projects is to install a glove box. Would send me a tracing of the door? Or if you don’t want it, I may want to purchase it.

Chip, Allen (Newkitman) said it! Get John Muir’s “How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive”. The list in the book is very complete. And, you might want to put the book in the car also. It’s fun reading. There are about 30 copies for sale on eBay now.
