Man dude you r doing gr8 work... and all the advice ppl are sharing is making me learn soooo much...

It took me 2 days to read throught this thread and i have been making notes all along...

Firstly your Stearing wheel rocks...man!!!

Thanks

Secondly: a few things id like to ask.. bear with me if you dont mind...

Window washer bottle and mechanism: Do you still have extra set for sale or where can i get that

I had two extra kits that I sold on the Forum a while ago, I found them new old stock in a parts shop in Vereeniging where they have been lying for the better part of the past 25 years on a shelf. There weren't any more, but I'm sure with a bit of searching one should be able to source it somewhere else. How about a CitiGolf setup?

Window Jet Nozzels: Would they work on a standard late model beetle and do you have one for sale - i like the metal parts

Yes, I can't see why not. Unfortunately I do not have another one. The metal nozzle is from a 1965 Mercedes 230S (fintail), a car that actually had two of them fitted to a VDO rubber 'pump' that you pumped with your foot to pressurise the water in the reservoir, just like a water pistol. If you really want to go to the extreme, the S-class W126 Mercedes has a nozzle with a little electric element to de-ice the nozzle before spraying the water on your windscreen

Golf Indicator/wiper Unit: Is that golf 2/3 unit and how will that go around a beetle steering colomb??

Golf 1 steering column assembly that fits the Beetle steering tube like a glove

Wish i could do IRS on my project beetle...ag, mayb some day...

I was just lucky to get the 1302 earlier this year as a donor for some of the goodies

Shot Pine and everybody contributing...amazing thread amongst so many..

Thanks, I use the thread as a constant motiviation to keep momentum (something one tends to lose easily with this type of project). I am by no means a technical guru, but it is a worthy learning curve, and I'm enjoying every moment of it







....not to mention the occasional seat cover thrown in unexpectedly

Some progress on the chassis after spending another weekend at IMPI, the IRS chassis is starting to take form - slowly but surely from this

to THIS!!

im still on dayshift till thursday ,you decide

Will call you, thanks Jaco

Well thanks to Jaco (Buggyfan) I got some nice Type 3 brake drums, backing plates, brake shoes and components, so I won't be using this anymore!



I can't get a definite answer from TheSamba, but I need two connecting links (arrowed in the pic below) from a Type 3 - no-one can tell me if those off a Beetle will fit?

Pine I am not sure, because the the brake drums are wider. But then again, I dont have the two next to each other to compare.

The two IRS torsion bar cover plates, compared to a normal Beetle plate at the bottom

strangely enough, both my swingaxle Type 3s have the IRS torsion bar covers noticed it this weekend
