Tyre Width by John[_28_]
The only thing I find a pain with radials on my Squareback is harder riding qualities than cross plies. Thinking a wider tyre may have more "compliance" has anyone played with wider tyres on standard rims?. Probably fronts would be the most problematic. ( standard shocks, not gas) ...

obscure van q. by VFW
it's the handle on the sliding door. I found another handle that I happened to have a key for, sooooo, I have in the past just un-screwed the inner plastic handle to free the outer handle and the square shaft. But this one ("71 panel) has some sort of "ring" around the inner part and it's not...

Mr. Bob Hoover... by [email protected][_1_]
Has anyone heard from Mr. Hoover lately? His last blog update was in February, and I haven't seen anything from him here lately... I think I can probably speak on behalf of the masses in saying that we hope he's doing as best as he can given the circumstances he's facing..... Chris

Stainless steel exhaust studs - are they a good idea? by Bluedc
I have my engine out at the moment and some of the exhaust studs are looking a bit rough so I intend to replace them. Some of the VW shops in the UK sell stainless steel exhaust studs - I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on these before I go ahead and swap all mine over. Thanks Will

Rear Disc Brake by Ivan[_9_]
I have a Karmann Guia Coupe 74, last Saturday I could have time and install the rear disc kit from CB Performance. I found Eric Huelsmann's instructions on the web who was very helpfull. Now I have a problem, the pedal goes too long, very long. I bleed the system twice but it stills the same.

R.I.P. Joe Vittone by [email protected]
I found out via another forum, that my good friend Joe Vittone passed away February 23rd.
