Is it just wings you're going to need?
Quick holiday on the mainland & drive home with new wings

I don't think I've seen anyone producing a web panel & most just assume that the sill is the same as a beetle There's a copy of that diagram somewhere with dimensions added Werk34 produce some very nice panels https://www.werk34.de/en/air-cooled/typ-3-1500-1600/car-body/ , as does Konny https://www....

Check the 12v supply to the cut off jets & that the jets themselves haven't unscrewed themselves.
Also check the connections on the balance pipe

Drop a pm to Fabrik Mike on FB ("In2Rust" on here)- He's been trying to flog some inserts
But not until I've messaged you on fb as there might be another option

Distance might be a problem, but speak to 937carerra- He's breaking a 411 (wheels are the same)

You'll always be here with us in spirit Dave, That's why I added you to the list

You have to be careful- Wives/partners might be watching this!
Not a lot that I'd admit to, other than the Chateau Mobile, a couple of garages & a modest collection of spares

Just sounded like a joke name!.. try pronouncing it to yourself!

Are you sure about number 64?

I often think we should have a "Like" button on here.. Perhaps a challenge for young James?

They are handed, one is the same as Beetle, but T'other is different - can't remember offhand I'm afraid!
It's worth checking first that you have 12v to the terminal with ign on & that the choke is adjusted correctly

Nice to see you pop up on the Forum David! How's the car?

You should have a big fat red wire to D+ green to DF And a smaller wire to a screw on the Dynamo body I'd be inclined to polarise the dynamo first too. All wires & fan belt disconnected, DF to Earth, then put a 12V supply to it- Positive to D+ , neg to DF- dynamo should run as a motor but only do th...

Nope! not even the plastic glides fit properly!
You can squeeze beetle sear base covers onto the type 3 base & judicious use of a jack allows a beetle backrest to fit a type 3 base

Subject of course to how many of you lot are infested with Covid19
Do we know if camping is available?

Traitor!

All is well here in Bath, Thank You! I promised myself that as II won't be driving Fasty this year, I'd get on with some little bits & bobs, but so far haven't managed to do anything other than a quick wash just before lockdown & several occasions of backing her out of the garage to siphon fuel for ...

Yes, those are correct- one should be smaller than t'other (to allow for cylinder offset) You've just learnt the easy way to get a knackered silencer off! Plus gas, heat, windy gun & 46mm socket should help, failing that, cold chisel & big hammer on the flats Do you have the crush rings? Don't tight...

The heat riser can be crimped & cut Heater boxes should fit, assuming they look like items 9 & 10 here: http://www.hallvw.clara.co.uk/type3/T3pbo/T3pb2-12.htm Much easier to fit when not attached to the engine. There's a copper crush ring that sits inside the exchanger-if off the engine its less lik...

Perforations in the steel filler neck are fairly common, which can be brazed up. Also check the J shaped vent pipe
I'd have thought a Beetle filler cap seal would fit

Ahaa... Engine oil.. Good call!
It appears to be just rusty at the very top edge of the filler neck where it seals against the rubber seal, though I might suspect the threads of the cap need a clean too.. will give it a go

A bit of a strange one.. My filler cap has started rusting itself onto the filler neck inbetween fill ups
Obviously I'm inclined to give it a finger full of grease, but the question is.. What kind of grease do you reckon? Lithium, silicon, copper, moly or red rubber grease?
Any opinions please?
