Late Tailpipe Fittings Type 3
Has anyone found a source of the Parts that would make up a Fitting Kit for the Late Type 3 Tailpipe please i.e. the Clamp and Seal Ring ?
Don’t know how you would describe the size of the Clamp or Seal Ring but the latter must be something like 32mm inside, 40mm outside.

Yes. I know.
That’s why I was asking !
There must be another way ?

Just out of interest, do Members know that VW Heritage do give Club Discount.
It’s only 5% I think but better than nowt !
Think you have to Register your Membership with Heritage. Then if you don’t log in you see full price. Log in and you see discounted price.

Re: Late Tailpipe Fittings Type 3
Decided not to waste time looking for alternative Tailpipe Clamp and Seal Ring. Just bought a new ( Jopex ? ) late Type 3 Tailpipe & Fitting Kit from VW Heritage yesterday. Already have a new Leistritz Silencer. All insurance for the future of my Variant.

Re: Late Tailpipe Fittings Type 3
On the Left, Late (Big bore) Tailpipe .. Seal is 43mm internal X 52 mm external
On the Right, Early (2 part) tailpipe.. Seal is 34mm X 43mm
For both tailpipes, the bolt into the silencer end is M8 X around 15mm
Availability: Late: Difficult to find- I've only got half a dozen of them, so I'd have to really like you to let one go!
Early: Common as muck, but if you get stuck, I've got a small quantity & I believe Dave has a quantity too- I've heard Mike say it's the same size as Beetle tailpipe, But in any case, it's the same size as Heat exchr to silencer.
Re: Late Tailpipe Fittings Type 3
I only said same as Beetle tail pipe as you can buy those kits separately, but yes also the same as the exhaust to HE joint.
Also worth pointing out a late split screen / early bay tail pipe kit has the same clamp and has other parts that are useful to fit the early Type 3 TP.
The strap clamp for the tail pipe to damper pipe in that kit is ever so slightly smaller diameter, but with a longer bolt it can be made to work.

Re: Late Tailpipe Fittings Type 3
I've seen similar clamps in Halfords some years ago, for downpipe joints, but don't know what sizes are available. I've got lots for the Beetle and Type 3 HEs, plus damper pipe joint, but have run out of the big-bore (don't need them now anyway).
