Re: 1971 VW Type 3 Fastback

How has it been 3 months!? I have done things with this one honest. The first thing was I worked on repairing the belt housing, only to find a replacement from the well know type 3 parts man, Danny Lord. So I sent that for powder coating. Along with a couple of other bits of tin that I had trimmed. ...

Re: Gasket Set

Re: Gasket Set

I found the oil filler tube gasket in my box of gaskets, it looks like it came with a set. I can get some made if we need a supply though?

Yes I understand that, I know what all the gaskets are for. If you let me know which ones you are struggling with, I can indentify them for you. :D

Re: 412 Variant estate build.

Admiration indeed! I was out driving my type 3 yesterday. The heater set just so. I meant to say, the "filler" in the blower box was actually a rubber type flexy sealent originally to prevent water ingress. Obviously years of heat and cold has turned it rock solid.

My husband has a American imported 1970 type 3 1600 fuel injection square back that’s causing him some serious headaches. It won’t start, its had a full service and d...

Re: Main bearing question

Do you have the proper equiptment or measure the case and crank? If not it might be worth investing or going to a machine shop and having the new parts properly mesaured too. As a guide, number 1 bearing, if you press it into the case, you should be able to lift the case by it. If you cant then the ...

Re: Main bearing question

They will just supply a set of bearing that match the measurements, assuming that your case and crank are within wear limits. As I say part numbers arent really relevent. Its more important to get the correct size parts, the part number could 123456789 for what it matters. Out of curiostity, why are...

Re: Main bearing question

Bearing wise I wouldnt shop by part number, you need to measure the crank journals and case bore to find out if you current parts are fit, and what size you need.
