I got one on Religion! From a girl named Stephanie. Deleted it.

Yes. I saw both on the wall when I was there last.

David, I walked in to Fisher Buggies in Tampa for 49.99. If they don't ship, I will gladly pick up a set for you and ship it myself. I think you have been there from what I recall. I did grab the last set off the shelf, but I asked if they were a new product, and he said yes, and they are selling. T...

Check out what I found today at the local VW shop!!! I could not resist. http://www.tonyprioli.com/latest%20rage.htm look how thick the steel is, and very shiny. Tony

[QUOTE="Manxdavid"]Good find Mel, I lost the link to those archives when I changed computers... July's BOTM still does it for me... http://www.papafernandez.com/manxclub/bugmon54.html Is Dave Helland still around?[/QUOTE] Manxdavid, Where did you get those wide wheels?? It looks sweet. Tony

http://www.meyersmanx.com/gallery/showg ... hp?cat=554 I am for sure cutting it apart. I need this perfect. Thanks for all the advice.

The spindle to rear axle is almost perfect on the buggy. However, the spindle could be bent, or the rear plates may have been adjusted. I measured from the inside of the beam, to the inside of the rear torsion. It was 3/8 longer on the passenger side. I then measured from the front cross member to t...

Well, My really nice chassis that was shortened late last year has a problem. I am fitting new floor pans, and noticed the chassis is shortened about 3/8 inch more on the drivers side than on the passengers side! At first I figured I should just adjust the rear axle in the spring plate, but I just h...

A 1971 1700cc engine from a stock 914 porsche has 86hp from the factory. that year had slight pop up pistons, with around 8:1 compression. I had one of these engines with super low original miles, and all I did was add MSD distributor with 6al box, and a set of Weber 44IDF. I had poor low end at fir...

Have you seen a early VW bus, Karmann Ghia or Thing air cleaner tube? It has a 90 degree elbow at the carb and relocates the air cleaner to the side? Just a thought before you cut the body.

The gear reduction transmissions have the ring gear reversed. You may be able to find someone who has one for sale. Just remove the reduction gears and you will be set.

On a type 1 it is below the generator, not the number on the stand, but lower on the case itself. H is a 1500, AE, or AH is a 1600 Just numbers would be a smaller engine.

You can only reference the ID number on the case to find out what it was factory fresh. But as you well know about the "peoples car", people could easily increase displacement as a shade tree mechanic. To truly know, you will need to remove the heads to measure the cyclinder diameter, and ...

Definately will feel the loss of any manxclub member, and will keep him in our thoughts. And only a week to fight sounds unfair to me. I wear Nike Livestrong 10/2 cycling gear, and T-shirts in memory of a dear friend who lost their battle late last year. Now it will stand for another one. Would like...

What about rotating the tach until the bulb does not interfere for inspection? You would still have a tach, but it would be a little twisted. If they fail you due to a crooked tach, then they are low lifes. Good Luck
