Ed,
That will be the day – I have never seen more then 3 in one place – come on
guys – prove me wrong!

Mike,
I did take a chance on a used one on the bay and was able to install it on my Fiberfab replica. It worked fine front to back and side to side, but was short at the door area ( at the dip down area ). I had my wife sew on a flap and rite died the whole thing black. Have been using it for about 2 years. It is the full type w/ a zipper up the…[Read more]

Geoff,
Just came back from vacation and saw your post – I live about 40 miles south of DC on 95 – Stafford area. We can hook up when you get here – love to have someone to cruise with

Ed,
I might be up for that – keep us updated

Junkman,
There is a local VW guy here in VA that has a bunch of old VW’s he is parting
out from the back of his shop and a few of them have titles. He has offered
to sell a title and the SN cut off the old car for about 100.00. You would have
to pay for the shipping of the steel chunk and weld it in yourself. His name is
John – let me know if I…[Read more]

Allen,
I tried to get that set up last year if you look back at my post on Carlisle, but it did not work out – not enough time or everyone got there to late or something. Anyway – if more of you guys come I don’t see why it can’t be done.
Good video Ed – fun day for all – Glad Karen enjoyed it and told my wife she missed a good time – hopefully…[Read more]

Ed,
If you have a standard vw fluid tank – I used a cap off of a 1 quart oil can w/
a brass inset I bought at Lowes or HD in the plumbing section. Screw on
where the cap goes and pump up about 5 times and bleed back to front.
Re-pump if needed- may need a small rubber washer like used on a water
hose if you have a air leak. Worked great for me -…[Read more]

Ed,
I have a pump kit I made w/ a garden sprayer that I can bring to the pumpkin run if you still want to bleed it some more. About 5 pumps on the sprayer and I can bleed my whole system – just have to be sure you are using a standard VW Bug brake fluid tank.
Let me know,
Dale

Allen,
Mine is just foam as well and still holding up, but if you can figure out a way
to use springs you will be happy on long trips – one hour and my butt is
killing me.
Dale

Cool story Montie – here’s to another 40

Ed,
He might be up for it if he is not working.
Also – Greg is going to push the Bugout on the speedster site.
Lets see what happens

I should be there along w/ Greg ( Wolfgang ) and a few other speedies.
I will be driving the TD if I get my Generator replaced or at least the
bearings in them.
Dale

Gary,
PS
Sometimes you need to replace the rubber hoses as they collapse inside and
you can not tell from the outside.

Gary,
I had the same problem w/ mine when I replaced. Two things – Could be
a bad unit as many overseas units are very poor – also did you put brake
fluid in the MC before you installed? Many times if you don’t it is a bear
to get the air out and get some pedal pressure.
Lastly – after spending a huge amount of time tying to get the system up…[Read more]

Richard,
Carb’s on the way – sent by P/O – could be a few days – hope all is well
Dale

Richard,
Tried to call you today ( sorry it took so long – work is killing me ) and your
message said you were not taking messages … so let me know the best time
and way to reach you and I will get your carbs back in your hands.
Dale

Richard,
Looks like everything is done – I just finished cleaning up the filter covers
and painting all the intakes etc. – I asked Wayne to order a couple of gaskets
so you can mount to your engine or you can get a couple yourself.
You might need to order some small upright filters in order for everything to
fit under your engine hatch ( did you…[Read more]

Richard,
Got a hold of Wayne today and he is finished w/ the better set – I will need to
glass bead the intake manifolds etc. Sunday, but they should be done after
that is completed. I will give you a call after that on details to get them to
you.
Dale

Cool Richard – looking forward to hearing about it –
If I was around I would be joining you – good luck

Paul,
Cool story – love to hear more about those folks some time – hopefully I will
do something like that when I stop working.
