Paul Mossberg replied to the topic HELP WITH GENERATOR in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago

And for what it’s worth, those LR guys must have been mavericks. 👿

Or maybe the same knucklehead wired every dash and didn’t know blue from red! 😆
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic HELP WITH GENERATOR in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago

This comment, and variations of it, confuse me. And I think it is incorrect:

“Alternator will not charge battery until light goes off, amp gauge verifies that.”

I’m not expert, but that never stopped me from opining before!

The light is an indication of what is happening. It is in the circuit, telling you if things are ok (it’s out) or not ok (it…

Dick, it sounds like who ever built your car wired two of the idiot lights incorrectly.

The blue light is normally used for hi-beams (not just in our TDr, it’s an industry standard).

The red is used to indicate whether the charging circuit is charging or discharging.

When you turn your inigition key on, the generator/altenator light should lig…

I’d love to take credit for that.But if I could transport snow form here to Huntington Beach…you’d have way more than a dusting!
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Starter Switch in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago

Hi lost.I think the dash start button would be cool.My high beam switch is the turn signal lever.I’d avoid the floor switch for either high beams or starter. Most of the TDr footwells are pretty tight. I wouldn’t want to be poking around for a floor switch.
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic where's the ign switch? in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago

I built my Duchess in 1982. All connections I had to make were done with crimped connectors.

I’ve never had a loose connection.

I’m not saying your mechanic is wrong. I fully agree soldered/imsulated connections are better.

I’m just sayin’ I’m going on 33 years with no problems
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic HELP WITH GENERATOR in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago

I second that. John Muir’s book is a must for any VW owner.

Here is Classic Roadsters approach.

There is a steel under the engne cover. It protrudes through the hole to serve as spare tire mount. Shaped like the FF pic above, but about eight inches wide.

It bolts to the two “z-bars” that you see running under the apare tire.

The z-bars are bolted to fittings on the rear valance.

That said…I’d real…

News to me! Thanks guys!

I hope there’s something other than the wire loom serving as a support!
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Manufacturer Comparison in the forum Manufacturer Comparison 11 years, 1 month ago

John,

Do you have a few pics of your car? I’m really curious. I’ve never seen a FF with a rear hinged engine cover. The only one with that config that I’ve seen is Classic Roadsters Ltd. Duchess.

I love that you wrote the previous owner set up the grill to “…look just like a Duchess….” instead of writing to “…look just like an original TD.” Two

Thanks MG wanna B and gbdick

I amended the London Roadster description post to note that some custom chassis cars had front discs/rear drums.

Doug, your car looks great! Gotta be one of the best before and after pics posted here!
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic New Third Brake Light in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago

Gene, the third stop light looks great. Does it also have a license plate light built in?

Thanks John.Look forward to seeing the finished beauty!
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Look at these prices! in the forum TD Replicas 11 years, 1 month ago

John,

I’m interested in that “narrowing the car” comment.

Would you start another thread and explain what you did?
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Look at these prices! in the forum TD Replicas 11 years, 1 month ago

Key word there … “asking” 😉
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic New Dash Project in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago

OMG Roy! That’s hysterical. When I scrolled back up to fairwind’s post, it took a second, but then…there she was! 😀
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Pedals height increased in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 11 years, 1 month ago

Google “roller accelerator pedal” and you are going to find dozens of hits for the VW pedal assembly.

But I’m not seeing anything for Chevette or Pinto pedal assemblies.
