Thanks to Ed and Gene.  Both the clamps and the badge arrived today and they look great. 

Thanks again guys!

[Stephen Chuck]

If it isn’t sold, I would love to have it and if Ed still has the bar clips I would really appreciate the clips as well.  I can pay via PayPal whenever you send me your email.  My email is scchuck@msn.com.

Thanks!

I’ve heard of Moss, but what is Marinas?  And yes, please post pictures of the Duchess wind wings.

Thanks!

Awesome ride for a great cause!

Good luck!

Post some pics of your Migi!

Welcome aboard!!!  Glad this forum is growing!

True, as a group, I meant us.  So, since the boat railing or handle is the way to go, can you tell me what size rail/rod to purchase?  Will the badge fit a 7/8″ or a 1″ rod?

Thanks!

PS, the badge looks GREAT!!

[Stephen Chuck]

Can we also purchase the badge bar on a group purchase to make it less expensive?  If so, I would be interested!

How do I get a hold of the local guy?  Does he have a web site?  Thanks!

I am thinking Ringo might have hit on something.  I listened to the engine sounds, and the idle sounds like the valves need to be adjusted.  I just thought all VW’s sounded like that.  WRONG!!!  A correctly adjusted valve engine sounds really quiet.  I bet the exhaust valves are out of adjustment or week valve springs.

Time to find a good VW mechanic in Iowa.

Thanks guys!!!

I got 10″ anco blades at “Advance Auto” parts.

Thanks guys.  The car runs great, just loud.  It sounds like an exhaust leak, but if you put you head next to the air cleaners, you can hear exhaust noise coming from them.  It make me wonder if the timing is off or something, but it really runs too good for that.  It idles like a champ, so I don’t think there is any burnt intake valves.  Is there an EGR value on a 68 VW?  If so, where would I look?

I used to have one of those switches on the dash of my 62 midget.  I think it was factory though as it was right in the middle of the dash.  Yeah, you have to remember to cancel it, but it was simple and it WORKED!  🙂

I just bought a Duchess that had bolt on wire wheels, even the spare is a true spoke.  They are stainless as well. Nice look.  They really make the car look like a true British sports car.  If I could post a picture, I’m new here and don’t know how yet, I would post one for you to see what they look like.

Where did you get the hardware to mount the wings to the windshield?

Thanks for pointing me to the “doghouse” for the muffler.  It is just what I was looking for!  Thanks again.  I just bought a dutchess and the 4 tailpipes are rusty. So, I decided to make it look more like a TD.

Thanks again!

Where did you get the muffler with the one pipe.  I too like the idea to make it look more MGish.  Is there part numbers etc. or a place to order one?  Thanks!
