Steve,
The various replicas are slightly different, but generally, fold each side up and over the roof so the width is narrow than the roof bars, the wrap the roof around the two bars.
The Classic Roadsters Ltd. Duchess manual has specific instructions for their car. The manual is in the library. Scroll down to the 25th page of this…[Read more]

John,
Sorry to say, other than a couple old advertisements, I don’t have much info on the Baron. Hopefully others here may be able to help!

Scott,
The Classic Roadsters Ltd Duchess VW manual is already in the library.
If the one you found is for a front engine Duchess, we could def use that one!

I did indeed have dual carbs on my Classic Roadsters Ltd. Duchess. But memory fails me as to what they are; and I no longer own the car.
Single barrel, fitment under the Duchess engine cover was no problem.

Stephen,
It will help the sale if you know the kit manufacturer. Major body parts are not interchangeable between kits.

Hi Barbara
Welcome!
Not familiar with any mechanics in your area.
Do you know the manufacturer of your TDr? There are manuals from many companies in the web site Library. And there are a full set of electric schematics under the Classic Roadsters Ltd section.

Yes, removing the crank pulley should give you enough room. Was easier for me to shape the fiberglass panel.

Shifting the “brine?”
Egad!Shifting the engine. 🙄

Generally yes. But you’ll find the rear apron likely gets in the way of shifting the brine back to disengage from the transaxle.
I solved that by cutting the apron back to match the “outline” of the crankshaft pulley.
Other than that, same process.

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic What do you think is the best VW replica in the forum MGTD Kit Cars 6 months, 2 weeks ago
One caveat to what Bill wrote, VWs through 1968 1/2 had swing axle rear suspensions. Independent rear suspension was introduced midway through the 1968 model year.
Make sure the donor car under the TDr you buy has the IRS.
Manufacturers (and builders/owners) have used varying approaches to softening the front suspension also, from adding weight…[Read more]

We are working on this.
Most of the articles are there. But the links are broken in these three categories: Ignition, Carburetor & Fuel, and Transmission and Drive

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic 5 lug VW wheel conversion to wired wheel in the forum General Discussion 7 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m sure you know, real wires and very expensive.
It’s likely going to be a challenge to find real wires for the early five lug Type 1 bolt pattern. even harder to find a wire wheel with close to the 48 spoke count for an original TD.
You might want to swap the drums for four bolt, which will make the search easier. You can also drill the five…[Read more]

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Need some info on a fiberfab throttle cable in the forum General Discussion 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Joe,
The pedal cluster has been moved back several feet as our TDr seat is essentially where the back seat of an original VW Beetle was. That’s why your throttle cable is too long.
As was mentioned above, simply use a stock cable, cut to length and use one of these:

Hi folks,
For the first time in decades, I’ll be absent this year. Susanne and I depart for Europe May 14th for a family wedding in Germany, with an add-on to Stockholm to see some of my family. I may drive out for the day Friday or Saturday, but even that is doubtful.
Enjoy!
Paul
