Glad to hear you’re rolling again! Congrats!It is not very likely you’ll find a replacement “bird.” I’d just keep hitting ebay or other auciton sites until you see something similar.

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Front body height in the forum VW Based Kits 10 years, 9 months ago
Something else to consider…
You didn’t post a side view of the car. But from the pics you did post, the overall ride height looks ok. It’s just some body parts that may be a bit off (something I’d bet most of our cars have in common!).Since you are having tire rub only in turns, it’s possible adjusting the steering linkage stops will e… -
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Front body height in the forum VW Based Kits 10 years, 9 months ago
It’s difficult to tell from the pictures, and this is going to be hard to describe in writing, but I think what we are seeing here is typical of hand built cars.
Seems You really have two issues you are trying to address.The first is tire rub, which you said you get from the outer tire in left and right turns. But you are not sure where the t… -

As far as matching the original…a four inch cut in the VW front beam gets one very close to the original TD spec.

The bodies from the various manufacturers do vary, but I’m not sure a narrowed beam would fit under my Duchess’ fenders. A two inch cut, maybe. But with a four inch cut, I suspect the VW shock towers would be hitting the fiberglass. Gonna crawl under there tonight and take a look.

OK…now that I’ve read it…I still say you need to write your congressmen…but to OBJECT!!! This bill will do nothing to enhance our hobby! And it could very well kill large portions of it.
The troubling part is even in the news article that Bill posted:Manufacturers would be required to register with NHTSA and EPA and submit annual re… -

Yeah, I have a hard time believing it made it all the way into a cylinder.And if it had, I don’t think it would have melted.Depending on composition, the melting point of brass is around 900 – 940 °C, 1652 to 1724 °F.A little googling says an internal combustion engine hits around 700 °C (about 1300 °F) inside the cylinder.

Normal forum stuff…avoiding too much thread drift makes things easier to find in the future. We’re creating a legacy here for people restoring our cars fifty years after we’re gone.
