Had one on my bus for years, no issues with fitment or build quality.

Have a good trip! Enjoy Ninove.... ;-) Thanks Ed, Adam, I did, but the square never came with me. I have oil pressure issues at the moment so the bus came to the rescue. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/Ninove%202017/005_zpswef0ssox.jpg I was a bit gutted to be honest that the squ...

So, it's home at last. MOT'd, taxed and insured. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/012_zpsvsuqsuro.jpg Got a few perforation issues with the floorpans and lower inner wings, so it was decided to do enough metalwork for the MOT and get to Ninove, and then order a pair ...

Had a minor issue with the rear brakes, the rear drums awash with brake fluid. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/005%203_zps1nvazge2.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/006%203_zpsunjjomxs.jpg New rear wheel cylinders and shoes sorted...

Great Squareback you have there dude. Hope to catch up at a show this year maybe. Cheers. Adam. Hello Adam it looks good from 30m. :lol: I'll hopefully have the square in Ninove next weekend. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/t3%20signature_zpshavoitis.jpg

The shift plate is in place, and the Berg shifter comes with it's own plate.

I've changed the shift rod/gearbox coupler and it has reduced the amount of slop, but it still pops out of the front shift rod cup.
Can anybody measure the distance between the pivot point and the base of the ball on their stock gearstick please?
Thanks.

No, the shift rod doesn't move up and down and the front bush is fine.
The gear stick just seems to have too much side to side movement, if you're not gentle when selecting a gear, the ball pops out of the shift rod.

I've got this problem on my '67. Loads of slop and the shifter ball pops out of the shift rod cup.
Tried swapping to a Berg shifter, but then I can't select reverse and either 1st and 2nd, or 3rd or 4th, depending on the location of the gear shift base.

Any ideas?

I'll sort the gaps and modify the engine hatch after I've got an MOT. The new carbs and CSP bellcrank linkage went on today and it's runs lovely, especially now the plug leads are on in the right order. :lol: http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/012_zpsib8clq7a.jpg http:...

Can I have a pair of the front brake fitting kits please Peter?

Perhaps these will cure the rough running. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/006%202_zps3vn8zf6l.jpg No body modifications required to fit apparently. :| http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/011%202_zps74hqktv3.jpg http://i251.photobucket....

Engine in and running at last, although not as well as I would like. I'll get some proper plug leads later. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/018_zpshroyshas.jpg Got a slight gear shift issue as well, the shifter keeps popping out of the shift rod when going into, but...

So today was partially successful. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/001_zpsxbcpaiok.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/002_zpsasayj74b.jpg Engine in, but battery dead and carb linkage rods missing so not fired up. Gearshift issues s...

So, engine almost ready to refit. The lack of carb linkage rods may be a bit of an issue though. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/073_zps6dgu0vxc.jpg I'll give it a tidy up and some proper plug leads when it's running again and the car is mobile. The sound deadening ...

Loose connections
Dynamo brushes may need replacing
Loose fan belt
Voltage regulator fault

So today I started on the jigsaw that is a type 3 engine and tinware, after cleaning off a large amount of congealed oil and retorquing the loose case nuts. :roll: http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/003_zpsgrjnblux.jpg Frustration set in later as the oil cooler mountin...

The outer door scrapers have been letting water in as well, and the door sound deadening material has trapped the moisture and rotted the offside door out from the inside. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/1967%20Variant/024_zpsokph3tpe.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/s...

Hello, I'm the new owner of Justin's 1967 Baltic Blue squareback. His time with the car can be found in his build thread here. http://www.vwtype3and4club.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8663 I've owned a few early bay window buses over the last 30 odd years, so I'm used to rusty old RHD aircooled ...

Good evening all, I'm inviting owners of Type 3 & 4s to have a vehicle line-up alongside earlybay.com in the main arena field at Bristol Volksfest 2016. If you wish to come along please read the instructions on booking tickets below, and follow the link. Could you let me know if you are coming asap ...

Yes, he popped in just before you and Dave arrived.

I cleaned up the rear wing seal as well don't forget.

Nice new wheels mate.

I took a couple more. I'll leave the sneaky ones of my bus in though. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/007_zpse972af98.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/008_zps6a81dfb9.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/010_zpsbf3d90cd.jpg http://i251.photo...
