This is where I’m at today.

HI Roland ,,,,,enjoy your new toy,  I am sure this site will be great help with many questions   Dan

Wobby,
If you are referring to the intake manifolds tha fit between the carbs and the cylinder head, there are two types. A long maniold (about 8 Inches tall) ans a short manifold (about 5 inches tall). The longer ones ange up and outboard from the cylinder head. The shorter one like I have start outboard and then curve upwards. I’ll post a pic o…[Read more]

Ahh, projects! I’m still as new to this as you are, Rich, and I wonder what you mean by “dual port posts.”You’re talking about the mounts for the carbs? The carbs fit on them but the whole engine is then too wide to fit under your engine cover?Maybe you could post a photo of what you’re looking at. Some of the real mechanics here can school us both.

 Just don’t mess with the kitchen

Nice!

Advantage: Way bigger and longer lasting fire!
Ask CIP1 where it is made. The VW aftermarket is the absolute WORST  for horrible quality, ill fitting parts. I know, I have a lot of them!!!

If too big, no problem though, right? Stock Bug tank holds what? About 8-10 gallons? So that’s 250-350 miles. Unless Bridget was doing the Paris-Dakar Rally (again) I’d not see much need for a 16 gallon tank.

I saw one of those at a swap meet and I am pretty sure it is too tall to fit under the TD hood.

Hello and Welcome  we are always glad to have another member, Dan

Turn the heater on and that’ll warm the buns!  

Well, only one picture appeared in my reply above but the rest found their way to “DonsMG” Gallery. I guess it will take awhile for me to figure out the details of posting.

I have included here a couple of the pictures of the kit as shown on ebay and a few of the photos of my progress on the project. I’m hoping to complete and be on the road by next summer.

I am in Missouri and purchased my insurance through Hagerty
Collector Car Insurance for $145 per year. I did this
through my insurance agent. I have had Hagerty insurance
before with other classic cars.

I sort of like the gas stop break, gives my backside a chance to un numb.
