Let’s see… “No Driver or Passenger” I would say the answer is no.

Finally found time to weigh MiGi. I used the method I described above in the first post. Using a balance beam type bathroom scale rated @ 350#.
My car is a Daytona MIGI. VW. 1/2 tank fuel. Spare tire under the bonnet. Battery under passenger seat. 20# worth of tools up front behind radiator. Top, curtains, boot and full tonneau in car.… -

Well I’ll be. I’d never have thought of such a thing.
Looks like it’s about the same cost as my five bleeders. Maybe a smidge more. Hard to tell if it’s easier or harder though.I guess it would be easier to use the first time than it will be for me to install five bleeders. But once the bleeders are in, seems like using those on refills will be e… -

L adapter then.
This is what I used on mine, btw. The single wire ones look the same except only one thumbscrew on top. Never heard of one not fitting because of a distributer. Can you post a photo? -
edward ericson replied to the topic installing oil pressure guage in the forum VW Based Kits 11 years, 9 months ago
T adapter.Be aware that putting both light & gauge on one fitting makes the gauge read low & the light go on early. There is a fix for that but I’ll need to leaf through me notes to unearth it.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood.
It is quite possible the body was warped a bit. But you have some flex in the pan and the fiberglass. Slow and easy…but I think you’ll be able to bring the two together. -

Where the body tub should rest on the pan perimeter there is a gap. You can see light in the footwell. There does seem to be a bit of flex in the tub and I think if I put the jack under the pan I can probably push it up a bit.

Yeah, BD, the oil in it now is “re-break-in” oil. The engine had sat a while and it’s clear the last oil change before I got to her was a while back. Plan was always to change it pretty soon after I get her road-able. Filter too, just because.

Peter C. King replied to the topic Soob swap in the forum VW Based Kits 11 years, 9 months ago
Ed,You’ve been running the engine with not much water in parts of it. Heat is hard on oil. Have you considered changing it before you run down the road?Bleeder valves at the high spots may sound Rube Goldberg. But you’ve engineered a cooling system in a chassis that wasn’t designed for one. You have high spots with air in them that the wa… -

Not sure where you are measuring the “difference” where the running boards will start.Original TDs have spacers between the running boards and the rear fenders. Some kits replicated that spacing. Is this what you are seeing?
