Cool, what did you find homie?

Erik G · Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2012 10:39 am Post subject:

I took mine out to a party down the street with my kinda 2nd family. Last night was about 15 degrees cooler than it's been in the last few months, so even with the brakes acting up, I just had to get it out since it's just a couple blocks

So, I really need to do the brakes. I've been down this road before with my notch, and it wasn't easy, so I have questions

I'm trying to buy everything local

Front wheel cylinders I'm good, Master Cyl I know what to do . Napa has german rear wheel cylinders, I already have shoes for the whole car

Rear rubber lines I'm sure are the same as 66-68 Type3 correct? What about the fronts? What rubber lines do I use for my 64? For my notch, I think I used split bus fronts and they were too long but worked. maybe they were bay window...

I picked up a disc beam, spindle to spindle, new ball joints and bushings, tie rods and backing plates. Super cheap. but I need to buy some fuchs cause I don't want to go 4 lug and then buy everything to switch it over later. So I'm going to do a later master now...

On my '64 Type 34, totally stock setup, I used the following:

Front - Meyle brand, Part Number 100 611 00 03 (VW Part Number 113 611 701 D), which is a 382 mm long male to female hose, M10 X 1.0 mm.

Rear - Meyle brand, Part Number 100 611 00 01 (VW Part Number 211 611 775 B), which is a 274 mm long female to female hose, M10 X 1.0 mm.

thanks guys. cross reference of the part number for the front says standard beetle 67 and on, and 66type 3 with drums which never existed in the US. So that makes sense.

Greg, can you re-check the rear number? I see bus (211 part number) as 211 611 775 instead of 755 for 270mm

I should be able to get those all locally. much thanks!

Damn typos...211 611 775 B for the rear. Sorry.

Bob's dual brake fluid reservoir installation was a thing of beauty and I'm tempted to go the same route with mine.

I had Jim Adney go through a NOS single circuit master cylinder and freshen it up. I doubt it'll ever get used.

There are a few of us in TX. Two of us down south of Houston, N8 is in the Denton area. There is another one in the Austin area but no one has heard from that guy in a while. Then there is also one of the nicest type 34's, a black '66 with red interior, in the Dallas area, in a rather large collection of VW's. As far as I know, it's actually in Houston right now, getting some minor work

I do have a lead on a back window, but it will not be cheap. At least $250, probably more

And N8, whats up with the clumn? don't have one all together? Or certain parts are not functioning? Cause, I will tell you from experiance on my notchback, It's easier to fix what you have than find a whole one where everything works. ISP West sells the ignition switch. PM Me and I'll tell you who has a turn signal switch for sale. Neither one are cheap. I have the ISPW ignition and it works like a champ

so I have been working on getting the ball rolling on reproduction dash and knee pads, also door panel pads as well. I got a new sample for the dash pad, and a good used knee pad. I was told by a fellow t34 fella that there was a small run of these dash pads a few years back and only 12 or so were made and sold. my question here is who made them? is he still able to make more? would he consider making another 12-24 pcs or have someone else like me pick up the tab to do so. I do not know of anyone that actually makes these kind of pulls, believe it is vac form.... the one I have looks pretty darn good, and I would hate to go thru the same process again, if we could simply order more from the mold already made. any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

i wonder if what is being referred to here is The "Dapper Dash", apparently done by Tim Dapper back in the early '90s. I bought one of these from Paul Colbert a few years ago and test fit it to 2 Type 34s, with the same result: it's shrunk a bit from end to end. Maybe as much as 3/4" and I heard this was a common problem with them. Still looks pretty good, though, and with a little adjusting is very presentable.
