I have a piece of trim which is just screwed on that goes down the Center of my hood, its not chrome but looks like polished aluminum. Looking at Pauls setup I think I could adapt. If I got a book case channel I could mount it with longer screws and nuts and attach a seat belt…[Read more]

Thanks for the photos Also gives me an idea to improve on the the way to hold up the hood with that strap you have. Mine is some cheasy bar that works but stinks. Although I have the tank in a different spot its a nice clean look you have, hopefully I’ll learn something thanks so much for the pictures!

Something else I was considering doing but need an idea on how to do it…Thanks

Your right I have the hood removed so best time to do it. I also read here where some put in a shutoff on the gas line since its all accessible and I thought of that also since I wish to re arrange my fuel line…[Read more]

I have lurked on this site for weeks just reading the manuals you have and the techy forum. I have been a helicopter Mechanic/Supervisor for almost 40 years and this VW thing is very new to me, so if I ask what you mean please don’t take it personally I just really dont know but am willing to learn! 😛

Just the firing order on the generator mount, no letter’s nothing….maybe the case was after market rebuild?

The fuel tank was mounted with clamps AND held down by silicon. Looking at the cars pictures on here I assumed it was a Fiberfab. Although my brother had the car he bought it off they man who had it…[Read more]

So far with you guys amazing knowledge of the VW’s it looks like I have some what of a 69-’71 VW with a Karman Ghia front end. The last thing I have to do is open the valve covers look inside and determine if its a 1500 rebuild or a 1600, That will have to…[Read more]

To see if they were torn, dry rotted and such.

As far as the Tank and lines I had done exactly as you said, I had the tank drained and I cleaned it out. I was very surprised it was in as good as shape as it was not very much varnish on the sides at all. Compared to the carb was caked with that and other crap. I disconnected the fuel lines and sprayed carb cleaner and pushed clean…[Read more]

For the members from Jersey I grew up in North Jersey and lived there until 2004. Some of the Soprano’s was filmed in the town I went to school. 😆 Already have a few questions but I’ll see if I can use the search to see if they were asked already..
