Except for carbs, it looks like a complete type 3 to me. I assume you're using an electric fuel pump.
I'm going to mention just in case, you need to make sure your thermostat is good, and connected correctly to the flaps in the fan shroud. I imagine you're ahead of me on that though.
I don't see anything missing, other than the fact that I break out in a sweat every time you post something, thinking one of these times I'm going to see complete body work, paint, and interior....
No pressure, just love the project and can't wait to see it!

Let me address your concerns ; Wink
This is not ; and has never been ; a project for show or flash . " Been there done that " I have trophys over 40 years old in the garage Shocked

This is a shade tree attempt to make a dependable P.C. (personal camper ) for an old guy to go camping in 5 or 6 weekends a year.
If I back up into another picnic table Embarassed or one of the four great grandchildren run a bike into it Rolling Eyes I can come home and get out the spray cans and touch it up .

I went to a local car show last night in Clearwater Florida . I took my trophy winning , finished , 63 - three fold ragtop ( Purple Car ) that spends too much of it's life waiting under the carport beside the house . Crying or Very sad
NOTE ; first car show since febuary

Rest assured that the possibility of you finding fancy paint or body work on this thread is beyond remote Smile

Somebody's still interested in my little project ....85000 hits on Samba...

You do know there's a guy in the classifieds that is offering to convert the carb tops to a screw in fitting right? Monte had that done on his after he had a fire on the right carb.

I normally knurl the brass tube, and use green loctite (bearing and sleeve retainer) to keep the tube in place.
Just so you know, Solex carbs aren't the only ones this can happen to. Webers have the same problem, as do mechanical fuel pumps. Shocked
