edward ericson replied to the topic Bucket seats in a TD Replica in the forum General Discussion 3 months ago
There are a few cars with bucket seats. On a VW pan-based car, the tunnel spreads out toward the back and makes it hard to fit a wide seat and impossible to move it further back, but you can lean it.

edward ericson replied to the topic Replacing the BackUp Sensor in the forum General Discussion 4 months ago
Check the connections before replacing the switch. Grounds are gremlins on TDrs.
Also make sure the car is actually shifted into reverse. When I was putting together my Spyder the backup light gave me a heart attack when it wouldn’t work despite my shifting it into reverse to test. I checked the light, the wires, connections and even the switch…[Read more]

Same hotel. Probably no banquet again this year cuz it’s on me and I have not had the energy to do what I’m supposed to do. Will advise.

What feeds the hot-ignition side of your fuse box?
(By memory; grain of salt) my car has battery + running to the big starter lug, Battery – bolted to the frame and feeding a grounding buss under the dash. Fat red 10g + wire from battery to the key switch at 30, then two wires that test + go from that. The key-on + wire goes to the fuse box to…[Read more]

Weird that it broke. Why would a pulley bolt break while just driving?

edward ericson replied to the topic CMC Classic TD brake master cylinder issue in the forum VW Based Kits 9 months, 1 week ago
Glad you found it! Accessing the MC on these cars can be tricky and it’s also true that there as many styles of rig connecting the pedal to the MC as there are TDr manufacturers. My BCW uses a custom length pushrod. I’ve seen some that use two full set of pedals, with the one under the driver’s foot connected to the one at the original VW location…[Read more]

Ground (GND) to ground. Positive (red, +) to key switched +. Lights are a + wire from the dash lights or the headlight switch. Finally the green or signal wire goes to the negative (-) terminal on you coil. done.

edward ericson replied to the topic Broken Fuel Line in the forum MGTD Kit Cars 11 months, 2 weeks ago
I did not replace my in-tunnel line but when I installed the Subaru engine I ran new fuel injection hard lines front to back—fuel and return. Since I was not taking the body off the pan I ran the lines through the interior of the car low on the passenger side of the tunnel.
Shocking? Well, actually, that is how Subaru did it:
I ripped out t…[Read more]
