Way to go, Mark. Where’d you end up stopping for ice cream?

Mark,
Good Sunday morning.! Yes we are loving the mild winter here on the NC coast too.

I googled “Treuhaft 1.25:1 ratio roller rockers” and then, after seeing not much I searched again on Treuhaft rockers +VWA lot of good web sites have less good search functions than Google. So back away and let Goog do the search.

Ed, I have spent a few hours trying to find (on the Samba) some advice on this matter with no success.  I would really like to know how you found it so quickly.   Some advice please?? I obviously do not know how to search Samba. 

Might give you a little more grunt. Might save you a wavy washer failure. And might (probably won’t, but might) bind up your valve springs or otherwise muck up you valve train geometry. No way to know without trying them.Me? I’d save ’em for a careful build, or sell ’em to someone doing same. But then again, I’m lazy.

Thank you Ed.  I am of the sort that I has been wondering about this entirely too much (I’m not kidding.)  This is great info, especially the link to your photos.  Unfortunately, I have put this on my “oh well” list as something that I might have done many years ago but now know that I can not afford.  But, it won’t keep me from looking for some…[Read more]

Bump, again.So I got some TR4 spline hub adaptors. Here’s the verdict.

BRG is my favorate too.  If I ever have to re-do Audry that would be my first choice. 

Love the color. Every green one is called “British Racing Green,” and it’s true. Over the years there were many shades of BRG. But that–That’s the one I like best.

I enjoyed watching the video. Also watched many of the other MGTD videos that were posted there.
 
 

Have heat? And snowtires/chains? Does anybody have snows?

Sweet…she is a beauty….

have a safe trip, brother.

Thanks for the compliments. I have not tried putting the windshield down so I am not sure if it does. I drove the car from Indiana to West Virginia. I found out that the best way to not get so tense is to wear ear plugs while driving. It is amazing how much more relaxed I was after doing that.The very first day I had it, I parked on the street in…[Read more]

Carlisle is May 18, 19 and 20, with Saturday the 19th being the main day.

Classic Roadsters Duchess uses that approach for the fuel tank. It sits on the VW pan, passenger side. Allows for a full trunk, about 14 or 15 inches deep, essentially the length and width of the hood.

Thanks Joe!

Sounds good Roy. I drove it home to Indiana from Orlando Florida, so your place is real close. It all depends when it happens. Keep us posted.

When is the Carlisle Show? I have a set of 4 Chrome and Gold Custom wheels I had left from a Drag car I had back in the 70’s, they made fun of the VW till they raced it on the 1/8 mile strip. Then they would not let me come back. It is a matter of what you like on a replicar, they are not MG’s or Porsche. I have a friend with a Design Classics 57…[Read more]

I got this one and it was nice. Thanks Jim. He was being consertive on the description, it is nice. Thanks Jim
