Its not too bad a job but gearbox oil is nasty, smelly stuff You'll need a new seal or two as well. I think its just the input shaft seal (easy with the bellhousing off) and the paper gearbox seal. If you ring and get them from bears gearboxes they will talk you through it Good luck Seb

Lots of cooling pipes for me - Not much help am I?

They are stunning, I need to do some for my split bug soon and these have spurred me on Did they take them apart and put them back together? Seb

Sports car seats are best as they are not as high as normal car seats. I've got some audi tt seats and they work well measure your seat base height and don't get anything higher Seb

Mines a daily but I'm self employed and don't have to do much in the winter. No heating at the mo but as theres a golf engine in there I have no excuses! Seb

You can use a golf tdi starter There are two types an early and late One can be fitted with an easily made adaptor plate, the other if you fill and redrill the holes They are massivly hi tourque, geared, dont use an external bush and easy to get hold of, but the truth is you shouldn't need...

If you can find a good og fusebox and clean it up it will be fine If not vehicle wiring products do a nice 16 way fusebox and a 4 way relay box which it together really neatly. I've used them a few times for custom engine looms asnd they're easy to use but you'll need a crimping tool Seb

why not get anouther dub and an engine You can fit a 2e 2ltr 8 valve golf engine for under £1k and its fast, reliable and easy to get hold of. I've done it and it leaves you a big :mrgreen: Seb

The megabug box is £250 and has been fully rebuilt so its not too expensive. Filled with grease rather than oil so no leaks for the future either Seb

It is doable but its a lot of work, if you can weld and fab then its not too bad, if not it would be far cheaper to get an early one from megabug

If the catch on the B post is badly set up then this can effct it badly. Try marking then removing it and see if the problem goes when it does. Then its just a case of spacing it up and adjusting it properly. Other things like poor quality door seals can have huge effects too Good luck Seb

Yes its a 1950 bug 8) wanted one for a long time and had to sell my 66 bug. She's never been welded, stored away in 1966 when it hit a moped. Just gotta find the parts to do it up now. Really glad poes being saved, when do we get the first piccys of the restoration :mrgreen:

Any local bearing supplier will do you one if you take the bits along, it will be pennies Seb

Its a real pain to get them out. Mine went and after removing the comumn and spending 3 4 hours I fitted a GSF one. after 24 hours the GSF one broke :cry: They happily gave me my money back but I left it in and the real key is now hidden under the dash as I couldn't bring myself to do it all...

I had a complete front end grafted on to my bay (luckily due to rot) and it wasn't that bad. The complete front came from the usa and went back to the B posts so all the floor, wheel arches etc are genuine! It didn't include the roof but it wasn't too expensive, the front was £190 + vat from...

Does this mean you want access to the industrial sewing machine I have in the spare room?
