Yeah, every forum post I have read says I will be removing the regulator. Thanks for the input. Hopefully I can get the kit ordered this week and attempt the install as soon as it gets here!

Donna Bryant replied to the topic '68 wiper switch in the forum VW Based Kits 12 years, 7 months ago
Finally got the wipers working. Called most every boat supply store, auto parts, etc. looking for a switch for 2-speed wiper with park, no luck with any of them. Went over to the Samba site and found several forum post about wiper switches. Hooked up a simple toggle (on / off / on) by following a drawing that was posted. Wipers are working great!

Thanks Dan – There is a Bass Pro Shop about 30 minutes away. I’ll also do some checking at 2 other boat places that are closer, too.

Paul – I wish we could have kept both of them, but they were both sold – Can only afford one toy at a time. Plus not having enough garage space. Over on the “other rides” section, I just posted pictures of both of these and the current mustang that has assigned space in the garage next to my TD.

I also give the Petronix “thumbs up”. We have used it on a ’71 Mustang Mach1 – 429CJ, a ’66 Mustang – 289, and my dad’s Ford tractor that was built in the 50’s I think. Since I haven’t yet been able to drive my VW / TD, I hadn’t even considered it.

Donna Bryant replied to the topic So many questions – in the forum VW Based Kits 13 years, 3 months ago
I guess I did not explain correctly, the car does have
wheels now – just needs new ones. Currently have 2 chrome
and 2 steel. The chrome is in real bad shape and probably
easier and cheaper to replace. The tires are holding air
but are really cracked and most likely dry rot. I will try
posting a…[Read more] -
Donna Bryant replied to the topic Pedal Cluster moving in the forum General Discussion 13 years, 3 months ago
I am a new owner of a ’52 FiberFab Kit on a VW Chassis.
I found this web site because I too need to move the
pedals – a lot closer!! to the seat. I need to move the
pedals at least 12″ closer, but I don’t think I want to
go into cutting all of those holes in the tunnel. I am
thinking of finding another pedal assembly and mounting
it to the floor…[Read more] - Load More
