Amazing – their quote for a $7000 stated value and 50 mile towing is just about the same as Geico covering me for liability only!As soon as I get my car back from the engine rebuild to be finished today, I’m going to make the switch. Thanks for that one.

Not sure what he means by splash pans…
But all the stock VW cooling tin should be on your engine (including the pans that bolt on under the rocker arm tubes).
And as best you can, the engine compartment should be sealed to separate the exhaust form the engine.
On a stock VW, the cooling tin seals to the body sheet metal. On our cars, you will…[Read more]

Haggerty has stated value insurance. If the car is totaled you get a check for the full value you have it insured for. Full coverage liability and comprensive, under and uninsured motorist as well same as any other vehicle. Even roadside assistance and towing is included. I have 3 cars wth them. You tell them a reasonable value you want the car…[Read more]

I have 2 cars insured with Geico and they also told me they won’t insure my car for anything other than my liability if I get into an accident. Not even the mechanical breakdown/towing insurance that’s on the other cars.I have to find another company that will insure the car for theft/vandalism and collision insurance also, like on the other…[Read more]

Montie: I carry State Farm on our house, my wife’s Taurus and my old Ford Ranger, but our agent (we’ve been with him since 1978) said they wouldn’t write coverage on a kit car. Tried to convince him that the Lafer isn’t a kit, but couldn’t. Ended up going with Hagerty, but don’t really know what I’d get if the Lafer were stolen or totaled.

The seller would probably say he’s giving you a great deal with a $12,000 Buy It Now! I hope he gets it! He won’t. But it would be nice for all us owners if he did!

My insurance company (State Farm) required me to use their appraiser for a replacement value when I first bought it, $18,500, so mine is insured for that.  Guess this guy on ebay really took it to heart as the selling value too.

cip1.com also has a wiring diagram on their web site:

Not as complete as the Classic Roadsters schematic. But has all the basics.

The Classic Roadsters Ltd Duchess assembly manual includes full schematics.
They are are available in our Download Manuals section.

Do any of the kit manufacturers include a wiring diagram in the kit documentation? If we had a collection of those then someone could repair theirs or build a new one without trying to find an entire NOS harness.

Hee hee. Yeah, I edited the link in your post.
One thing I am NOT able to explain…when I paste a url into a post, sometimes the forum automatically recognizes the link. Other times I have to also paste the url into the link pop-up. No clue why it sometimes works differently.

I did not paste the url into the window.  After I clicked on the Add Hyperlink button, the link changed to blue and looked like it was live.  I have tried on previous attempts to paste the url into that window, and I was also unsuccessful.  I’ll try that again when I have another opportunity.The link I put in just now worked for me.  Did you do…[Read more]

If no tdreplica.com members have one, try MG Magic
They do not list wiring harnesses on their price  list, but they might still be able to help.
I’m sure this would work too:

For someone thinking to adapt TD hub caps to their VW wheels using the VW clips or screw heads, these are a GREAT price:

Nice find Allen.
For teh nipple style cap that they are selling, you have to make sure the three slots that are pre-punched would be hidden behind the MG cap-center

Not sure.
I did the same thing to edit your post.
When you clicked the link icon, did you paste the url into the field in the opo-up window?

Thanks Paul.  I guess I’m still learning how to work with this site.  No problems and I appreciate your help.  This particular car did not meet the Reserve Price, so it did not sell.There is another replica on eBay with a starting bid of $10,000. Let me try to post this link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp ; ; ;_…[Read more]

Found another site that carries the nipple hub cAps withouty logo.

That console looks great. Do you know what VW or year it came out of?These would be even better if there was some sort of locking compartment to keep prying eyes out.
