Paul,
The only part number I can find for the switch I purchased is on the carton. But that part number is: 86914 abd it’s a Brass, 3-position, Push/Pull switch with 4 terminals. I pland on using it for the Emergency Flasher. Hope this helps.

Welcome Ray10 to the group and congrats on getting the TD. You WILL enjoy it. Tghrough building it and driving it. There are a number of folks here with Chevy based TDs and I’m sure they can help you along the way. And the registry will show you who is closest to you.

Would you have a part number for these switches? There are no Pepboy stores close by and I could not locate any on their website.

I usually stay away from JCW except for books. Their QUALITY has been suspect. Seems the price is right but the fit, quality, and durability of their parts is not quite up to par. Never been let down by Mid America nor CIP1.com.

Thanks for the info. I will check them out. After I made my first post I did some more looking ao JWc and I dont see the jugs that I need for my 1966.

I used mid america motorwork out of Effingham, IL. Will use them again for my next motor. Check themout at http://www.mamotorworks.com
 

Hi Phillip,Some story! I hope all the bad luck is behind you!I checked some USA resources and there are places to have custom sized radiators made. I’m sure searching “custom radiators” will turn up some sources in the UK. Another possibility, armed with the dimensions, a really good auto parts guy/gal might be able to come up with a stock…[Read more]

Welcome Ford,
If you look below under finished cars and unfinished cars sections you will
see a few for sale. They can be easy to tow home if you are worried about a
long drive home. One of the cars is Chevy based so I am not sure that will
work for you. He He

Good luck on finding the right TD for you.

Dale

I wonder if Harry Bernard still has his TD? It had those wires on it.

I was lucky I got those US Wheels when I did. It’s harder to find RWD 4x100m steel wheels now than hen’s teeth! Nobody makes them anymore. You can sure find a “zillion” FWD 4x100mm wheels though.
I bought that old single axle open trailer (wooden ramps) from a fellow NJRC member. It was sitting in his business’ parking lot for several years. He…[Read more]

Also have to say welcome to the forum. Its the best TD group on the planet. also great having another GA person here. I’ll be working on my wood dash today. Need to add a few holes for the optional switches I purchased and move the High Beam indicator to between the speedo and tach.   

Hey Ford. There are three listed on the Samba ( http://www.thesamba.com ) right now. Don’t remember if they are close to GA. Wait…someone in the TDs for sale here on this forum has one for sale in the Villages at Ocala, FL. Try that.

years ago Dayton used to make a 15″ 52 spoke wire wheel for the VW bolt pattern. the price was about $1,800 for a set of four.That is likely what you have seen.In September 2009, I made a connection with Truespoke and had a quote of about $1,500 for a set of four. These would have been custom drilled as they have nothing in their standard product…[Read more]

hello ford, my car was found on craigslist and can’t wait till warm weather to get it going. ebay is a good source also.   good luck                                                                                      mike

I know what you mean.. If it were closer I’d buy it just for the parts.  I remember someone ask about finding a grille, here’s their chance for it and a whole lot more.

 Hey Mark, Thanks for the info. My London Roadster had 15” wire baskets with adapters to convert the VW pattern to the 4 3/4” chev . I just could not trust them and went back to VW wheels. You did a good thing when you put the US Steel wheels on the BCW. I see you have upgraded in the trailer department as well.Thanks for posting the…[Read more]

Exactly Schu..I fat fingered that one! Good eyes! I edited the post to read 4x130mm. Thanks Pink MG40564.538287037

Guys,
Just a slight correction – I believe the 4 lug VW wheels are 4×130 MM
Be carefull out there

Hey Larry,
I know that BCW used a 13″ flat chrome dish 4x100mm with the wire basket inserts on most of the Chevette based cars. I still have a set (minus the baskets) from your car. Nice bases for a sign post!

I have seen a few, like the one recently on Craig’s List in South Jersey, that had slotted VW “looking” wheels. I am not sure if they we…[Read more]
