Last update to changing out my starter Motor. As you may recall, I posted a concern of how to remove the starter bushing when installing a near starter. Well I am happy to report the advice from the Samba Forum on using a “Auto Stick Starter” was advice well given. I installed this new starter and I did not remove the old starter bushing, because…[Read more]

Update on my question of how to remove the starter bushing from the transmission bell housing. Rob and Dave’s web site really gave no direct answer, other then remove the bushing before you install a new starter. There were several suggestions on the Samba web site, suggesting to use a 7 mm easy out, and clamping onto the easy out with vice grips…[Read more]

Greetings all, I haven’t been on the site for a while, I have been busy with car shows here in Florida and Georgia. Quick question, I need to change out the starter on Herbies 1968 VW engine. It is probably the original starter for all know, as I built my Duchess kit back in 1985. My challenge is, how do I remove the “starter shaft bushing”, that…[Read more]

Thanks Paul and Ed for your feed back. I have the original fuel guage installed in my reconditioned dash, but the original fuel sender in the original optional Dutchess tank that I have has no part number markings on it. There maybe a part number stamped on the dash guage, but I have been avoiding trying to taking it out due to some vertigo…[Read more]

Ok John, I am really going to confuse you now. I live in Tampa, Fl, and the temps here in the summer average about 93 degrees, maybe hotter. (So says the local weather channel). When I restored Herbie 1 year ago, I had my 1968 VW engine rebuilt by “Fisher Buggies”. They only work on VW’s, and specifically build Racing VW engines, and build Dune…[Read more]

You may also try your local Craig’s List. I have seen several of these TDr cars for sale in the Tampa Bay Area. Prices any where from $4800 to $6800, for a quick sale. You are probably are a little low at $4800, ask your $5500, and negotiate down to a win, win price. Have you put it up for sale on Samba as well? If it driveable, I have always put…[Read more]
