When buying sound deadener, buy the stuff that BMW and Merc uses, called Vibraseal, it's about 1/4 of the cost of dynamat and is also self adhesive and easy to work with.

Re: MY 65 TYPE 4 POWERED SUNROOF BUG
It is simply a container that will make sure that the fuel pump always receives fuel. The best position would be the spare wheel well in the nose. But then there's no space for a spare wheel.
The surge tank only needs to hold about 2lt.

The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Re: MY 65 TYPE 4 POWERED SUNROOF BUG
As T-Z said, stick with the original plans...
I'm really interested as to how your EFI system pans out. I will also be using a modified Golf dissy, with the same coil...
