edward ericson replied to the topic Wire Wheel Adapters For VW Can Include the Wheels in the forum VW Parts for sale 9 years, 4 months ago
Maybe if they hog out the backside you’ll have a shot.
But a word of caution: The typical MWS wire wheels are made to fit on a hub with a 4.5-inch bolt circle. The slightly wider VW pattern puts the studs and nuts in the way of the wheel itself. That was Royal’s experience, anyway.There may be wire wheels made to fit over a 130mm circle or… -

Schu: doors open at 10. We’ll be at it all day, I guess, or until dinner.
You want to come up 95 or, if you can, use the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. From there take the tunnel, 95 to White Marsh exit and then go Rt 40 or (better yet) 7 to Joppa Farm Road. Should be under two hours. -

edward ericson replied to the topic Replacing Speedo Cable in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 4 months ago
There should be a tiny C-clip on the cable end that sticks out through the grease cap on the wheel. A little pick or eyeglass screwdriver will get it off. Then just pull it out from behind. The other end has a screw collar on the back of the speedometer. Order a bus cable to replace it, and squirt some liquid graphite in the sheave before installing it.

So cool, Bryce, that you have all that paperwork. I have all mine too???or most of it???we should compare notes. My car’s builder still lives at the address I found in the build package, so I won’t be putting that up here…
Ballast: I’m against it, I think these cars can be made to handle pretty well without it, and lighter is better, in general,… -

285 is OK for a cylinder head temp. Oil should stay below 230F. But, right: our gauges are suspect.

Hey, Phillip! Welcome to the forum.
Your problem sounds solvable. Can you tell us the manufacturer of your steering wheel? Or better yet, show us a picture? It’s a little fiddly to upload a pic to this site but I think that process is going to change within the next week or two.Meanwhile: have you tried ebay search and amazon search? I put in “VW… -
