Can't bleed the front brakes. Air in MC? by
[email protected]
So here is what happened.
A week or two ago my brake pedal starting feeling mushy and I had to
pump to stop. After inspecting all my brake lines for leaks etc., I
found that I had a brake hose ballooning on me up front. This hose
looked different than all others so I think the PO might have...

Methods to get Bondo Boy off USENET? by
David Gravereaux
Short of cutting his phone/cable lines or putting bullet holes in his
WiMax antenna, is there anything we can do? It looks like he posts from
googlegroups. Would abuse reports do anything to get his account closed?

Proposal on how to better deal mario by
Anthony W
How about once a weak or so some one posts a message with all the links,
his full name and address and the full story. Then we shun him. I mean
we don't reply to his posts and ignore his replies to our posts.
If we could stick to this, I think this newsgroup would be a better
place. Anyway...

Oil change with torque wrench by
[email protected]
On these air cooled VeeDubs, what is the recommended torque wrench
value for the little studs on the sump plate? What about for the oil
drain plug? I tried searching this newsgroup but could not find it.

Swingaxle or IRS? by
[email protected]
I am putting together a long list of parts to do a complete brake job
on my 1968 Bug Sedan (STD).
I see there are some differences with the brake line kits for the type
of transmission that you have.
But - how do I tell which one that I have? Swingaxle or IRS?
Thanks,

Gaps in the tinware by

Okay the engine is looking a lot more normal tonight. Recent talk of
gaps in the tinware causing a loss of cooling are got me to looking
closely at how things are going together so far. I took some pictures.

I've noticed that I get more questions about engine-building during

now that WINTER is here.'
But that's another subject.
The subject here has to do with valve train geometry and comments...

Speaking of engineers... by
Speedy Jim[_2_]
And "over-engineered".
I was getting bored sitting around after my surgery, but wasn't quite up
to wrenching on cars yet.
One thing I had wanted to do to the '68 was add an electric windshield
washer pump. And the other thing I did NOT want was another hole
butchered into the dash!

Then the alternator pulley splits in two. Tow home a 2nd time, replace

them preferable with new tires already mounted on them. I need them
to be of high quality so they are balanced and true. But I also don't
