do 135x15 tires need tubes? by VFW
I've always put tubes in them, but just yesterday my tire shop assured me that since they are labeled "Tube-less" they don't need 'em. Your take. We are using the eight spoke "empi" alloy wheels. and they are going on the front of my Ghia. Today I watched the odometer turn to 80,000 , I think...

Window Sash by \Harry Smith\
Hello all, Just a quick question for you knowledgable folk. I ordered new window seals for my 1974 Beetle.

I am trying to work out the best way to easily immobilise my type 2. I would like to have a hidden switch inside the van probably at the back somewhere that immobilises the ignition and turns on an flashing LED on the dash. I think its best if it is still possible to turn the engine over with the...

$100 for a front end alignment? by VFW
my wife took her Ghia to a tire shop and they had some difficulties. two hours later, She just wasn't happy with how it went. '69 with discs up front, ball-joints shouldn't be that hard to adjust. Did they take advantage of a lady? -- Money! What a concept.
