Nearly inoperable window by JM[_3_]

non-repeat feature of ignition switch not working by Scott H[_2_]
A while back I replaced the ignition switch in my '72 with the one from my parts car. Now with the `new' one, the non-repeat function doesn't work. Is this something in the switch that is bad? Or is there something else somewhere that I need to check? Thanks. -- Scott

some lights work after re-wiring by [email protected]
After recently purchasing a 1969 beetle I decided to rewire the whole thing. I bought the harness from mid-america and am completely happy with it. The directions are easy to follow along with the Bently manual. Only one typo found. The rear running light wires should be switched around. The...

P.O.R. 15 Where can I buy locally? by fenderjw
I've read about using P.O.R. 15 products to remove rust and re-coat my gas tank but where can I buy the stuff locally? I've seen the online site where I can buy it, but do any of the big box stores carry it too? Thanks Jim
