Aircooled VW South Africa

Nothing, but I did paint my new calipers, caliper brackets and drums last week..

What paint you use on the drums that won't flake.

Dupli-color caliper paint with ceramic. says on the can it will withstand 500deg intermittant heat.

I wish... my cars are all at the panel beater in the queue... I did tidy my garage which was about 3 months overdue...

took my brother and his Fiance for a test run. Got stuck behind a new beetle doing 140... so I overtook him

The engine is running lean, I really ned to sort this out ASAP before I do that again

Those 34`s will give enough fuel for Idle for TonyZ`s motor

Jaa,... He can use them for the idling circuit, as he has to pour petrol in with a Fire Bucket at hi speed anyway.........

Got a few things to do around the house today, if I get the time, I'll go through my other carbs and look for a set of bigger main jets or smaller air correction jets. Will hopefully have the car on the dyno in the near future to get the jetting set properly

LOL, mathematically, I have the same amount of carburation on 1 cylinder as you do on your entire engine...

Nope, no jets along the sizes I need...

Replaced tie rod ends and vacuumed under the back seat!!

adjusted front right camber and replaced 1x tie rod (cannot find anymore spares at the moment so cannot change the other ones too).
replaced indicator relay
made up new air filter mounts as the ones I have need special cork gaskets (actually modified old ones I had stashed away and made them look nicer)
sourced and changed main fuel jets in carbs
began designing mounting brackets for new front seats. Tomorrow I'll try sourcing the metal and begin making the mounts over the weekend and when time allows.

Found tie rod ends at Suburban Spares in Maitland....fitted these and new rear axle boots today. Yeah all is much better now.
Also did a modification from here : To here : Cleaned off years of old gearbox oil and stuff and now all is better!

Had a GREAT day - got lekker dirty and just had to quench me thirst too.
