Lovely jubbly. I'll keep my eye on those. So no metal ones where used on earlies then? Cheers, Jim

I too have been absent for a while, but will be using this valuable resource a lot this year as my 'van under goes another 'refresh' after I originally rebuilt it 10 years ago. Using a proper web page/internet forum is a damn site easier to navigate than FB! Donation made... Hope all are...

Hi all, My '71 is in need of these replacing... What year did VW change to the metal ones as opposed the the saggy wooden ones? Were any available for the '71? I see a set for sale on eBay but am I right in thinking these will not fit an earlier 'van...

Show price at Tatton was £120. Had a good nose at one for myself. Very nice and heavy. Cheers, Jim

x2 :lol:

Whats goosed about it? Cheers, Jim

Also interested to hear how this install goes, or stops as the case maybe... Cheers Jim

I've been after a couple of these for a while now, but still not actually stumped up the cash for a bit of bent wire... Cheers, Jim

Bugger :( Makes you think doesn't it. Best wishes Jim

So I'm unlikely to pick one up for £20 then? :lol: No bother, I'll soon hack some new steel into mine. At those prices I can justify spending 2 days on fixing mine up pretty good. Cheers, Jim

Hi all, Just wondering what's a fair price to pay for an engine lid? I repaired mine a few years ago and its starting to look a bit rough again. Should I just replace or repair properly with new steel? I don't doing a bit of body work, but wondering if it's worth my time? Cheers, Jim

No 6 is there but you are missing no 2 for sure. You could do with getting another inlet manifold and exhaust header with pre heat. Air filter you know about. May as well reinstate the air hoses. You have heat exchangers after all... Cheers, Jim

Pop your sender in boiling water and see if it reads 100C... I have one of these and have got it to flash on occasion. http://www.savemybug.com/ Cheers, Jim

I run BRM's on my Bay and yes the ET is turd! 175/50 on front and 185/65 on back. I had to do some light 'relieving' with a hammer on the rear inner arches... Cheers, Jim
