BTW, if you find the bolts holding the steering box lid are loose – be sure to back that adjustment screw WAY back out before you tighten the lid/cover back down. Then, once the cover is tight, readjust the set screw..

The flexible coupler is simply to accommodate minor alignment differences be5ween the steering box and the steering shaft.If you can move the steering wheel without the steering shaft moving at that coupler, the problem is likely the splines on the top end of the steering shaft where the steering wheel coonects, often using an adapter. The splines…[Read more]

Read through this thread:https://tdreplica.com/forum2/forum_posts.asp?TID=3486&title=manufacturer-comparisonAnd as others have suggested, post a bunch of pictures.We’ll figure it out!

Good luck, Roy. I’ll be interested to see how this turns out.

Spike, just saw a gps speedo, which I think is the same size and appearance as ours, for 115.00 on e-bay, could be interesting

Hey guys. Thanks for the comments. I got a whopping good deal on some new 1.25’s and decided to go ahead with the experiment. I plan to carefully record before/after data on my measured course (a drag race 1/4 mile type). John from aircooled.net in a private communication thought it was “a waste of time on a single port”. But applying my “the…[Read more]

For the little I know about it I think it was okay, and although I would call it a disk instead of donut I’m sure we’re both talking about the same thing. Metal brackets on either side, 2 bolts each and offset so they only attach to the disk/donut, not directly connecting the shaft and gear box.

The Head Light support arms for a Fiber Fab, are a curved flat bar, from what I have seen on other members cars. My Classic Roadster Dutchess, has the orginal MGTD round thick head light bar. You can also look at the photos of other members cars in the member profile area, as they list what kind of a MGTDr they have.Dave

I can not pull up your You Tube video because I use a iPad. Just a quick thought since I can not access your video, is the flexible donut between the steering shaft and the steering box in good repair, and the bolts tight? Like I said just my thought. If you do not have the flexible donut, then maybe your steering shaft and steering box shaft…[Read more]

Tom, yes I have used sail repair tape on my 30 ft sailboat, works well for the last 10 + years. You need to be sure the underside of the top is super clean of dust, lint, dirt etc. you also can purchase from “Sailrite ” their single needle stitch awl. I have used that on my top, and Bimini Cockpit cover for the boat. Private Message me with your…[Read more]

Thanks John, yeah I was wondering where a U-joint might be if there was one. I’m going to read through all that.

Ah, okay, I thought that must be what you meant. That’s how I’m driving mine now, just folding back the driver side of the tonneau cover and tucking it behind the seat.

I’m no mechanic, although sometimes I pretend to be one in my garage until I really mess things up.  Regardless, I got interested in your problem and according to my own inexpert research, the most likely culprit is a bad U-joint in the steering box.  See http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=493919

FUN!!!:DTHAT’S what these cars ARE ALL ABOUT!

Early FiberFabs with the exposed steering shaft don’t have any identifying marks, AFAIK. It must be the later MiGi II that has the FF molded in…

Yes Tonneau.

Here’s a picture from today.  Took it out all over the place…. it’s been a long time since I’ve had this much fun with a car!

And here’s the whole video I put together, just showing the steering parts moving before and after adjustment. Steering wheel play is afterward, almost same as before or maybe going from 3 inches play to 2 inches. I didn’t actually measure.

go to aircooled.net they have a ton of good tech articles. also if they don’t like a product they quit sell it ! and say why gene berg is also a great source of info.
