I’ll try to say hello quietly. Got the donor engine/tranny ready to pull yesterday. It was way to hot to work past noon. Being the first day of college football did not entermy mind. JohnnyB

Here ya go.

I wish I had seen this post when I was modifying my VW (69 VW bug, Daytona Migi TD replica), except that it was about 33 years ago.  The lowering instruction were so that it “looked” right, with apparently no consideration for the ride.  I added some concrete in the front for weight, and cut and rotated both tubes, rather than just one.I don’t r…[Read more]

yeah, I noticed on the link Paul posted that they list is as Silver-Gray. And my paint shop already has the paint code.I’m going to get the caps on the way today and shoot the wheels over the weekend.

Silver looks good, with rings or not. The original MG color was more gray than silver–if anyone cares.

I think I will repaint silver and get the half moon’s from MG Magic to start. I think that with the chrome beauty rings it may be too much shine to draw your attention away form the chrome on the car body its self.

I never taught either of my girls how to drive a stick shift, James, so I don’t have that particular problem. 😉

I could not find the first so I posted again.But you know there can be quite a delay after I click the Post Reply button that I may have messed something up.

I painted mine silver also. You can get the silver wheel paint at Wal Mart, Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc for $7.95/can if memory serves me right. Sam

Wow, another reason that Annie is not a Fiberfab!

Of course you are correct.  I forgot that some of the kits used pedal extenders.  

My car is British green when I got it the rims were black with baby moons and MG centers that you can buy on line .After looking at lots of cars I decided to paint the rims silver.I then took the MG centers and got out the artist brush and changed the background of the centers from red to green. just a little info.You can get forest green paint…[Read more]

Jeff,

Mine too.

Not mine – full length on Fiberfab – bars from standard location to the new set.

Good deal.  That’s the way all of our (VW) clutch cables are rigged.  

Thanks guys. I had been telling them that the frame had not been shorterned. Didn’t even think about the pedals being moved

You can loop the cable and double clamp it to make it the correct length or cut it and double clamp it to splice it back together. Small U Clamp’s. Allow for some adjustment at the clutch arm. The clamps should be between the cable tube and the clutch arm.gbidick2013-08-29 08:16:15

They have the correct cable – which will be too long.  Your TDr front seat is not in the same location as on a “bug”.  It and the controls were moved back about a foot therefore the cable is a foot too long. They can easily take up the slack at the clutch arm on the side of the transaxle.
