Drilling out sump plate holes ACCURATELY by
Chris Hiebert
Hi all,
I have a 1600 with some bad oil leaks around the studs which hold the sump plate to the bottom of the block. Some of them are quite loose and easily come out with only finger pressure, so I'm thinking I may have to drill/tap the holes out and get stepped studs, hopefully tightening...

Swing axle boots by
ChrisKlinger
Replaced my boots November of 2012. Just noticed that one is already split
at the top.
I know I didn't buy bargain-basement. Wish I could remember where I bought
'em!
Can anyone recommend who sells boots that last?

Shoe-Chuckers
I went to pick up a floor jack and the young man wheeled in out of the
store and stood behind my '69 K.G. waiting to put it in. I said no,
there's in engine already in the space. He was young. and didn't see the
air intake slots.

A ACVW nut.? by
Shoe-Chucker 2
If I go to a bug in/ meet. I take along the "nut" that you used to find
behind the dash. it held the light switch in.
It was made out of brass. I polish it and ask people if they can
identify it.. I usually have along a complete switch to show where the
"nut" came from.
the "q" is why brass?

Beetle/bug Pickup project by
tricky[_2_]
Hi all
for a while now, I have been toying with the idea of making a beetle
pickup for me to use for work.
It would be more or less a 'standard' pickup design, but with a roof
rack capable of carrying full 8x4 sheets .
It will probably take me a year (or more) to complete.

6V to 12 conversion q. by
Jorge[_2_]
a neighbor with a '60 bug asked me how difficult it is to go 12 volt.
I thought the starter was the worst of it.
tho you can spin a 6v starter with 12volt. isn't it easier to rebush the
tranny and find a bendix that fits the ring gear?
where can one get this?
TIA

My odometer has lost its mind! by
ChrisKlinger
Filled up just after getting out of work, odometer shows 00621. Got home -
straight home - ODO shows 00636. It's a 5 mile ride...
No wonder I occasionally seem to get extraordinary MPG.
Bet I've been changing my oil too often, too.
