That's the one!
Plug in vw relays have the same pin arrangment, so the one they sell for beetles will fit.
The only earth's are the ones that all the lights share and one for the high / low beam switching.
If the side lights work and the high beam flasher works then it sounds like they're ok.

Re: Headlight Issue
It won't be the switch as that supplies current for both high and low beam from the same terminal. It could possibly be the relay, so check the yellow wire going from the relay socket to the fuse box. If there's nothing there, then its likely the relay that's at fault unless its the high/low beam op...

Re: Oil pressure switch leaking, now light has come on....!?
The pressure rating of the switch is the point at which it switches the light off, and no indication of how "heavy duty" it is. Now the engine has to make at least 1.4 bar before the light goes off, which it might struggle to do on tick over, especially if it's a bit worn. I would replace it with th...

Re: rotating gearshift
Do you have the limit plate installed correctly?
It fits between the chassis and the shifter base, but wouldn't be required with an aftermarket shifter like the Berg you mentioned.

Re: A quick parts ident?
First up could be the early fuel tank vent hose if the narrowing is just about 20mm at one end.
Second is definitely the steering column mounting to the dash panel.
I don't recognise the parts in the other two pics.

Re: Practical Classics Insurance Page
I might be wrong, but I think that is a different one.
The one in the picture if I remember was quite ratty (when ratty was bad) and a bit of a mongrel.
Dave will remember more, I was only starting to get involved.

This one?
Its a good 20 years old, from a PC mag feature.
The late Fastback and Variant are Dave's and he still has them, the early Fastback was I believe Paul Taylors, and the Notch at the far end belonged to Christian Wagner.

Hi Joe, Its never happened to me personally, but I have heard of it several times. As the conduit and fuel line were installed before the floor pan went on, the only way to access the weld is to cut a window in the centre tunnel as you describe. However carefully done I'm sure it can be an almost in...

I have some NOS OEM sets with chevrons.
Like these ones in either black or white.
And some plain ones in white.
Or Beetle ones will fit with a suitable bracket..

Re: Fuel Gauge
Possibly its the sender. The float moves a contact along a track of resistance wire which determines the gauge reading. At the top there's the least resistance so the gauge reads full, but if the wire is broken then the gauge won't read as there's no circuit. If you undo the little nut off the botto...

Re: Clutch shuddering with new clutch
It sounds like the clutch surfaces aren't square. Like the resurfacing wasn't done correctly or possibly a distorted cover if the bolts weren't tightened in the correct order (alternatively across the plate). Another cause is not having the bend in the clutch cable outer, but if it has not been dist...

Thanks Will.
Yes I'll be there, but I'll probably only have my T34 on the road so I'll see if I can park it on the KGOC stand as they always seem to get a bit more space.

Re: late type wheel silver paint code wanted L91 ? or darker
L91 is the only reference I can see too.
If you're unused wheel was made later than actual production parts, possibly it got painted in whatever was the silver of the day.
L91D is Kansas Beige - yes, confusing I know...

Re: how much drop is one rear spline?
I'm in the process of adjusting my T34 at the moment. 1 outer spline is worth 55mm, 1 inner is 60mm, so 1 spline in each direction = 5mm in the direction the inner spline is rotated. Therefore to get an inch (25mm) lower you need to rotate the inner spline up 5 splines and the outer back down 5 spli...

Re: 2 issues spoiling my fun!!!
The spacers depend on which Oil cooler and Crankcase combination you have.
There's one combination that doesn't require any, although you'll probably need to remove the cooler to see which it is you have.
I have a table with all the options in a manual somewhere - I'll dig it out...

Re: 2 issues spoiling my fun!!!
The 3 marks on the early pulleys are 7.5, 10 & 12.5 BTDC
Not sure why 12.5, I guess 2.5 either side of 10, which would have been the static setting at the time.
Definitely start off at 7.5 here though.

There's never enough room to bring much, so let me know if there's anything particular you're looking for.
