67 beetle master cylinder spacer by
Hal
I was helping a friend replace the master cylinder on a 67 bug today,
and when I went to remove the two bolts holding the MC to the car I
saw that the forward firewall was really 'dented in' around one of the
bolts. Apparently there is a spacer that is supposed to fit between
the outer firewall...

Ant
Hi All
This is a 74 Bay with a 2.0L CJ engine. Last night she took me home fine.
Later I tried to start it and it does nothing, just a dimming in the
lights, but no starting engine and no starting noise. The Haynes manual
says the battery must be low, but I charged it overnight and this morning...

Here in San Jose is a museum for kids called, ironically enough, "The
Children's Discovery Museum". http://www.cdm.org Inside are all kinds
of neat things for little kids (and not so little kids) to do. They
have electricity experiments like pulling two bowling balls 45ft in
the air via pulley and...

OT Kids these days...... by
Shaggie
My 9-year-old son just asked me why people say "Ladies first" and my
daughter was standing beside him when he asked. I told him it was
because it is the polite thing to do and then he asked the dreaded
question. "Why?" Why is it the polite thing to do? I sorta wanted
to tell him that it's...

More Engine Fires by
Bob Hoover
To All:
It's been more than ten years since I began posting VW fix-it-up
billy-dews to the Internet. The first article I posted told folks how

Type IV motor in a Beetle by
Jeff Kleier
I was wondering if anyone has performed the conversion of putting a Type
IV motor into your Beetle. From what I've read, the Type IV is stronger
and more reliable than the Type 1 motor. I was wanting to know if
anyone had done the conversion and if they were happy with it.
Any information would...

Well it has been 3 or 4 years since I have heard about VWoA suing anyone over a

Hi,
As someone who gets a lot out of these VW groups I thought I'd like to give

Thanks to those who answered my questions before on the horn wiring, and

Super Beetle Steering Wheel Assembly by

Hi all,
I've picked up a stock steering wheel and horn pad from separate sources,
