Nice looking car.

    I am thinking that to put on 5 lug chevy/ford pattern drums and then bolt-on wires would be more elegant and certainly make me feel safer than using adapters on our 4×130 hubs.  If you look at the backside of a 4x130VW hub they can not be easily weld filled and redrilled to Chevy/Ford 5 bolt pattern. 

    I thought that I once saw undrill…[Read more]

Hi Smitty,Send me a private message if you are interested in contributing.Not sure what you mean about being able to download form your ipad. Download what?

I need to make a correction on the hook up of the vent line . the vent line hooks up to the gas tank and is ran along the drivers side frame rail with the gas line and brake line , it goes up to the fuel pump where it attaches to a gas line that goes up to the charcoal canister.

Well, crap. I can’t find my notes. But this was all recent and my memory is pretty good. So here’s what I found re wire knockoffs to be adapted to the 4-bolt VW:1. The most likely candidate for a legit kit that’ll maybe fit is the Triumph TR3/4 hubs with 4.5-inch Dunlop wires.I found them available at Rimmer Brothers for–here’s the link–about…[Read more]

I,ll kick in. Will I be able to down load from my I Pad?

Might want to try

70 spokes is high.TD aftermarket wheels would have been 48 or 60 spoke.http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29904http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=70300Truespoke is another option.

Scott, check my post from 7:15 pm yesterday for a link to a diagram of how your brake distribution/warning switch goes. It’s from the Auto Zone web site, but looks probably right.By the way, you kick ass, build-wise. I am in awe.

 I think parts Guys come to 2 types those that know and those that think they do!! I found a store N.P.A. the guyes there are all older and most know with out the book and have never made a mistake .

 Hay guys why don’t you just go to an electric pump ?? quick and simple Dan.

Good info, Roy.$2,000–if we can get eight takers. That’s just about way too rich for my blood. At least for now. I have worked out a fitment scheme and a source for 60-spoke Rudge splined kits of five for about $1200 plus shipping. These are painted Dunlaps, made in India, needing tubes, etc. As you said, by the time you’re all done with these…[Read more]

Yeah, venting the fuel tank to the air was SOP until about 1973 or 4.Charcoal canister after that, and then came The Era of Spaghetti Pipes Out Yer Gas Tank, which we are still in. Glad to hear the brake line thing is solved, conceptually.

 I checked the fuel lines on my ”factory built ”BCW with the Chevette engine.The vent line runs up the left side of the chassis paralall to the fuel line to a point near the top left side of the radiator.It must have connected to the emmissions system but all the smog stuff had been removed before I got the car.It  just sits there beside the r…[Read more]
