horn cable connections. spare brown wire!?? by
Spike
Hi,
Have had another chance to take a look at the horn wiring, it seems that the
male terminal on the outer tube is not there.
Is it supposed to be just on the end of the tube? if so, will have to make
myself a work around.
I tried to look at bugshop, but it seems to be down :(

Awesomely Scary! FACES OF DEATH VCD for Halloween! by
HALLOWEEN!
For the uninitiated, the original Faces of Death is by far the most
controversial film to date. For this Halloween, watch the real thing. It is
extremely graphic in nature, and most definitely NOT for those with weak
stomachs. This film has more gore and carnage than Jason and Freddy
COMBINED. It...

Torsion tool for spring plates by
Dane Tyler
Hey guys,
I'm gonna change out my spring plate bushings on my '69 Bug this
weekend, and was wondering, is it better to use the jack and chain, or
the torsion tool?
This all started when my axle shaft wouldn't come out of the trailing
arm during rear bearing replacement, despite a sledgehammer and...

1967 Vert Pan Replacement by
joe
I am new to restoration but have heard not all Brazilian pan halves
are created equally. Of course, I will use German pans if I can find
them but am still trying to locate a nice rust free set. I have read
that some Brazilian halves tend to fit better than others. I thought
there was one plant...

WTB: Used tranny bell housing by
Karl
You will have a problem with a type1 bellhousing and 76 and up 228mm flywheels.
If you want to start a Vanagon engine on the stand, you will need a 210mm or 215mm
bus flywheel.
I just saw a bellhousing FS on the Samba.

Last October during the Southern California Wildfires, I had a 1978
Superbeetle Convertible, painted red with a tan canvas top that was
heavily damaged as a result of the heat. The insurance company

Yesterday a moron in a Ford Taurus did a left turn across my lane right in
front of me. Needless to say, despite all of my best efforts, I smacked
into him at about 25mph. Damage? Yep. Left front fender, bonnet, left
front tire, rim and tire. The spooky part is that there is a slight

Turn Signals, Sometimes will not blink. by
Sleepy Joe
Hi!
I have a ‘73 VW Beetle.
I bought an AutoZone battery and installed it on 5-28-02. I think it
is time for a new one. With the headlights on, foot on brake
pedal/stop lights on, and turn signals on, sometimes the turn signals
will not blink. After charging the battery I repeat the same...

Rare 73 bus in need of help! by
Wolfgang
Sounds like a resonable price to replace it with a rebuilt engine. The TIV
is much more costly to rebuild than the T1 (of which a gazillion were made
up unitl recently). Ya might try a local votech school where you pay for
parts only and student do the work. They may not en\ven want to know how...

Take a look at this newspaper clipping. They interviewed a pregnant lady who
