I installed the shorter adapter on mine and it really helped. On a side note I cut the turn signal lever off shorter and made a new knob for the end. The wood wheel is a smaller diameter than the stock wheel was and with the wheel closer I kept banging my knuckles on the level when turning. Works great now and look better too.

Thanks again,

Burnie

Thanks for the post I was just having the same issue and your thread saved me a ton of headache. I just ordered my part and can’t wait to move that steering wheel closer to the dash.

Thanks again,
Burnie

In reply to - john mallman posted an update It\'s hot up here In Waukesha Wi.I have been having fun driving this car around. I was worried that it might over heat. Is this a problem with these VW? All I have it that little light.. ]]> 0d1bcfb278c99947446803dd06d7d87f wingsman changed their profile picture https://tdreplica.com/activity/p/4554/ Thu, 23 Jun 2016 14:42:50 -0400 0 ff7a80e7b8e45d75a7266b7a262092d2 wingsman replied to the topic Some of my construction Pics in the forum My Project https://tdreplica.com/forums/topic/some-of-my-construction-pics/#post-267870 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:55:54 -0400 It is a screw-in access panel from a boat. I used it so I can get to the wiring
for the sending unit on the gas tank and all the miscellaneous bolts and clamps
under the hat without having to unbolt anything

I just rolled it right onto my trailer and took it to the sand blaster that way. He thought it was great also.

The top surface of the carb should be level. That will give your engine the
proper amount of tilt rearward to make sure the oil drains properly out of the
heads and back into the pan.
