Bon Chance!

A trick I learned way back was to loosen the clamp on each side of the manifold boot just enough to rotate the center part of the manifold toward you and that gives you more access. Also don’t forget to loosen the nut that secures the center manifold section to the engine block.

Rob and Dave also comment on how difficult it is to get a grip on that forward nut and recommend an S-wrench. They refer to Aircooled.net which has a 90 degree bent 13mm one for $15.95, which is what I spent for the whole set I ordered from Harbor Freight. I’ll let you know how it works when it arrives. Meanwhile I can’t do anything with that…[Read more]

I have a dual port and you can see that the 30 carb base on there now does not match up like the 34 does. It was fitted on, but it’s not the same as the 34. The 34 was the carb that belongs on there.I have tried all kinds of wrenches and I cannot move it even 1/8″, to loosen the nut, as there is no room to swing the wrench unless you remove the…[Read more]

i just replaced the 30 pict1 on my 1600 sp with a universal fit 30 pict something and had no real trouble reaching the hold down nuts. it is my understanding that a 30 pict 1,2 or 3 are for a single portand a 34 pict id dual port and not inter changable without an adapter of some sort. there are some experts on this site that can give you details…[Read more]

Dual Port ?  I always get to mine. Slow and easy, Patience. I think if you check a staight 6 inch open end will work, Slow and easy

Rich: get another one after you tire of the Honda. Next one, put an S2000 engine in it somehow!

I bid on it and got out snipped.  I did try Rich.  I would have loved to have that one.

Hi Almost,I am getting a late start on Forum use. Better late than never. I am the guy with the BCW/Chevette. The pedal in mine are quite close. Especially the clutch & brake. I can’t wear large shoes. Mine work great with Running shoes. It feels like I am driving with racing shoes. It all works well with me. Your layout looks to be able to work…[Read more]

I purchased the Moss luggage rack for my BCW TD. As the guys at Carlisle saw. It can be mounted to the BCW tire rack. I had to fabricate a 3″ extension bracket, top and bottom mount to clear the tier. Once made the rack work just fine and will hold quite a load. Best of luck with the fiber deck lids.Greg

For what it’s worth, I used the 3M Fast Tack on everything. Welting, interior panels, carpet…you name it.I built my car in 1982. Nothing has fallen off. And the only thing that had to be reglued was a small portion of carpet in the trunk that was glued to bare plywood.

I’m loving this build!Thanks for sharing it with us!

 
There are two levels of adhesive. One for carpets, the other for hood liners, head liners and trim. The trim adhesive is much stronger stuff. The standard Eastwood product is $6.99 on sale, $12.99 retail. The Eastwood super stick stuff goes for $18.99. I used 3M trim adhesive on my Avanti hood.
After shipping, the $6.99 Eastwood product mig…[Read more]

The 3M-90 carpet spray adhesive is like $20 in my local auto supply place for the big can. Works good, but Eastwood sounds like the better deal for sure.

Thanks, I’ll check with the local auto supply store to see what’s available, online probably will be half price the way things are down here. That’ll be one project down, who knows how many more to come.

If I were buying a prebuilt or crate, Ild go with Autocraft, Mike and Barry are great guys and have been working VWs for a lifetime. Seconf choice Air cooled Technology Jake is a great source and is a hands on person. Both have custom plans and offer build kits that you can build or add on as you go. This isn’t JC whitney or Mid American. You pay…[Read more]

After a coffee or two and general discussion I used fast Tack

I used 3M “Fast Tack”. (following Classic Roadsters Ltd.’s recommendation) http://www.3m.com/product/information/Fast-Tack-Trim-Adhesiv e.htmlLots of on-line resources if you cannot find it locally

We’ve been reinventing a procedure for adjusting valves when there is an excellent discussion in the “Tech Articles for VW’s” section of this forum. It was written by Sean Bartnik on Sept 24, 1997.  
Did you know that there is a dot on the edge of the fan pulley indication TDC?
I don’t usually read the directions first either.
