I agree with Mr. Skeet. If you’re having trouble shifting, either one or more of the components are worn out/need to be adjusted OR you are a numbskull and can’t properly shift even in the best of circumstances. Only the former is repairable.

I have one. It does help it start, but it has absolutely no effect on a hot start.

Here across the pond, the T25 owners often change out their stock wheels to 15” or 16” leaving a plethora of old 14” wheels that are sold off cheap. I bought a set for not much and had them powder coated. They are not exactly the same as stock wheels, but most people cannot tell the difference...

That’s what I did. Accepts single DIN units now.

😂

Don’t mix them up! If you put the left one where the right one goes (or vice versa) it won’t work! /s

I have been saving up to buy new, repro ones. There are two suppliers over here (USA) that sell different versions, but they’re very pricey. I’d probably have to sell my ‘71 just to afford them. Rebuilding and selling rebuilt Jalousie windows would be an ideal pastime for one of the old...

Years ago, I had a cut piece of coffee can that I used to bridge the gaps on incorrect tinware. Spray painted black, it looked fine. Eventually, I was able to acquire the correct tinware for a ‘71. Do whatever it takes to keep hot air from entering the engine compartment, even if it involves...

This Baywindow Bastardi from some Dumb-ass Hollywood movie could have avoided immolation if its fuel lines had been checked regularly.

“North American specification, 1968~71 VW Type 2s had a weird electrical system & loom, with some equally weird switches and rear lights.” Which switches are weird? (…asked the guy with the US Spec ‘71)

With one filament it’s a 1156 With two filaments it’s a 1157 I initially installed the wrong ones into my front turn signals. Took me a week to realize why they weren’t working. I’m a complete muppet.

Paruzzi has the striker plates….

Clearly, I didn’t fully obey the word “gently” in its entirety. I will shortly be spending £99 at NLAVW.

That flip table…is a big pain in the keister. One side of the hinges is glued into a slot in the plywood. It probably should have screws too, but you have to remove the laminate in order to install screws. The laminate objects to being removed. This was not a problem for 50 years or so, but...

Now Less Affordable V W

If I used that, it would be mere minutes until the picky pedants near me wagged their fingers and started clucking. 😂

I believe that Bus-OK sells them. Part #OK61847 It is unfortunate that nobody in any other country has the skills to manufacture them…

For whatever it’s worth, I seem to require a new clutch and/or accelerator cable only about once every ten years. Also, I have found that the likelihood of a broken cable correlates directly to whether or not you are carrying a spare.

I tried various “compatible” Bosch distributors in my ‘71, but when I finally found the correct distributor for my bus, made for use in a bus, it made a big difference. 211 905 205Q Just a data point.
