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?

More great work!

Glad you found what you were looking for, I have the manifold gaskets available. Along with carburettor ones

Love the bonnet extenstion, its going to be tough to tell is its a normal size fasty or not after youve done

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.

I now have a small selection of stencils to offer. Theyre on ebay, but im happy to deal privately, and thus loose the ebay fees. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115978456432 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115978450544 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115978437631 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115978427052 https://www...

Ive never seen one for everything, but I know there are some on the samba. Which gaskets do you need help idenitfying? I can help.

The advert is NLA, hopefully someones saved it

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.

Huge admiration for you tackling this outside! Ive got a garage and I cant be bothered to go out there, its 5c outside atm. Years gone by id be out there doing something, tonight im reading in front of the stove!

Looking forward to seeing more.

Lets give it a crack! Anything specific, or just get out for a drive?

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...

Blimey, never heard of that before! Sounds painfull too. Best wishes

Whats up with the eye? Nothing serious I hope.

Its refreshing to know that there are other vw enthusiasts every bit as mad as me when it comes to saving a rusty old type 3. We always save them no matter what

Yeah, exactly what I had to go to keep mine going! Quite satisfying to make actaully

Well this afternoon I tackled the rotten and not working sunroof. https://www.volkszone.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,onerror=redirect,width=1920,height=1920,fit=scale-down/https://www.volkszone.com/attachments/20230830_174320-jpg.307871/ The roof lining had to go as the thing was rusted shut and I...

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.

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 ...

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...

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.

Any of these will be an improvement.

The port is on the left hand carb. halfway up. Hopefully yours has a blank on it. Otherwise you'll need to set the carbs up again as theyve been set up with an air leak.

Why the Filter ? There’s a Filter in the Fuel Tank Outlet and the Mechanical Fuel Pump. The filter in the tank is very course, as these tanks age they rust and that can easily bypass that filter. It then also depends which pump you are running. My original pump died years ago and I have a non servi...

You will have been looking at petronix. Yes it should have Vacuum advance. It sounds like someone has fitted a 009 to yours. The coil isnt a service item as such, are you refering to the condenser by another name? Changing the points and condenser is a good idea.
