Re: Manx SR

I assume that the pics in your profile are of the car you are speaking of. Where is it located, what does it have inside and what are you asking for it?

Re: Bruce's original build instructions?

As most people have moved over to Facebook, there isn't much traffic here anymore. You might get a better response if you post your request on the Club Facebook page. In the mean time, if you need help with general VW type build issues, the VW Beetle & Karmann Ghia 1954 thru 1979 Haynes Repair M...

Re: how to seal a leaky electric fuel sending unit

I would say that leaking fuel is not something to mess with. Pull the hood. It's possible that it could be a bad gasket seal, a crack in the sending unit flange, or a leak in the fuel line. In any case, definitely not something to take shortcuts on.

Re: transmission issue

Is it possible that your shift linkage is just out of adjustment? That you can adjust yourself. If not, what area do you live in? There are some decent VW transmission places out there. What ever you do, DO NOT take it to a regular automotive transmission shop as they are likely to charge you 2 to 3...

Re: Adjustable irs spring plates

We swapped out the longer torsion bars on our off-road buggy for the shorter ones some years ago. While we have not had any issues, I have also been told that the shorter bars tend to fail more in one way or another when used in any significant off-road capacity due to their repeated greater twist o...

Re: Type 1 Long Block

We purchased a new 1776 long block from Old Speed in Paramount 20 years ago. It's still running strong and I would go to them again. Give them a call.

Re: Windshield wiper advise.

I believe a manual wiper assembly that attaches to the windshield frame will also meet the code. You might want to look into going that direction if you don't want to fit the whole wiper motor assembly under the dash.

Re: what manufacture makes manx single loop roll bar

I don't know who produces the single hoop roll bar, but for safety reasons, I would recommend having a 4 or 6-point cage built for your buggy. While a single hoop looks cool and old school, it does not offer any protection in other than in a slow motion roll over. If there is any speed involved, it ...
