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
I guess it depends what brand of kit you buy, this is an aceptable fit. From the Elring kit.

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?

Re: Gasket Set
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.

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.

Hi, I am so hoping you can help as I see you run a forum for advice and if I need to go via that, could you let me know how to do it. 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...

Bloody hell! Never seen on that bad. Please dont throw the old case away, Im sure its repairable, and the original cases are much higher quality than the originals.

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.
