Dirk would be my first choice for Beetle services and repairs, phone him at 082 964 1662

Not sure if I got the right number, but try (012) 654 8272 - Werner is most certainly the best guy for king/link pins

Harry, his Beetle shop is in the main road of Primrose (I think Rietfontein Rd) - you can't miss it. Bugger will have his contact details

Brazil imports? good Quality? if they good King and Link pins then i'll maybe take them, but i might not be here next week... or week after... or week after... :? but could make a plan... also need to find a time to have them put in. How long will that take approximately if i get a pro to do it?
