I'm giving it a miss this year but going up the fosseway to Aircooled campout in July

A T piece under the oil Pressure switch There are basically 2 types of op gauge- Electrical & Mechanical.. sender for the electrical type is big & bulky, but it's a simple matter of threading 1 or 2 wires depending on sender, through the car to the engine bay. Mechanical types have no sender as such...

Personally, I think Oil pressure is the best bet

As long as you buy the Gauge & Sender that are compatible with each other, it's a doddle Oil temp Gauge- Use a sump plug sender https://www.machine7.com/product.php?xProd=3268&xSec=2700 & Gauge https://www.machine7.com/product.php?xProd=10990&xSec=2698 Cyl Head Temp should come with a thermocouple t...

I would suggest the first thing to do, is give it a good service- Valve clearances, clean/replace plugs (& fit them tightly), check points gap, check that both cut off valves are screwed in properly, check the connections to the balance pipe & just lightly nip up all of the screws in the carb tops t...

Just a welcome to the forum
Ian is about to become the owner of a Notch & Kirky runs old friends show, as well as working for uncle Jeff Lawrence

It's known as the Christmas grump round here, but I'm always willing to share the grumpiness if needed!

May I suggest a teeny modification? That metal pipe stub that comes out behind the tail lights is the drain from rear window louvres.. left in it's natural state it's what causes the rear bumper mounts to rot out, as the water just sits between the body & rear wing The suggested modification is to s...

Get well soon James
and.. Humbug!

I've got a swing axle box down the garden, so You're welcome to the daisy plates out of that ( I'm fairly sure theyre in there, but will check).. I flogged the short axles to tris a few years ago, so He has the fulcrum plates & bearing covers.. I'd suggest you ask him to sell you the fulcrum plates

Konny makes very nice sills
Bert's email is on that page & is well known & respected, so highly recommended

Price might be helpful?

Or.. Fasty had centrelines on when I bought her, so in one of my sheds there's a set of chrome/shiny wheel bolts which could easily find themselves heading in Your direction

Just double check the wheelbolt size chaps! I'd expect a modern vw to be 17mm, but the Fasty will be 19mm Might avoid you both wasting money on postage! GT beetle wheels had plastic caps on the 19mm bolts though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GT-wheel-bolt-covers-centre-cap-for-VW-Beetle/371423020618?ha...

The Toyo tyres are VERY noisy!

If I've missed anything, please let me know & I'll add it to the list!

I thought it was time for an updated list of spares sources, but I'm reluctant to delete the old thread as there is still good information in there, so rather than Delete, I've unlocked it & We'll allow it to gradually fade into obscurity! It's impossible to categorise parts availability from all of...

Try asking Simon Kelley Otherwise it's worth a phone call to people such as Desi Yates & The German junkies. Mick Tattersall (Kinkymick) may have some, I can't remember Richie at Karmann Konnection & coolair both import from isp/wcm & have said in the past that they'd be happy to bring stuff in for ...

For the correct hoses refer to this: http://www.vwtype3and4club.org.uk/partswap.php Heritage sell rear drums, but they are crap when compared to originals- I got new ones from Paruzzi, but they no longer have in stock https://www.paruzzi.com/uk/type-3/rear-axle-differential/rear-axle-rear-brake-drum...
