The gas tank frame has a tab on the bottom to attach the hydraulic line at the flex hose.

Installing a 14 inch Bus wheel on the front of a Bug limits steering. Roughly you go from the stock 2.6 steering wheel turns lock to lock down to about 2 turns lock to lock. It will add around 10 feet to a U-turn and put the Bug up there with double cab pickup trucks for the steering radius. It won't be quite as bad in a short wheelbase beach buggy.

This is my remote mount for the condenser. It isn't needed with the 009, but when I install the 019 its condenser will block access to the distributor clamp.

A couple of low res photos showing the lower steering bearing added to the column and the extension of the steering shaft. Also shown in the rag joint coupler made from 2 female halves.

Somewhere in western Washington I saw this car and then looked it up on Google. It has been sitting outside for at least 6 years.

Some shots showing it as received, the box opened, and then unwrapped. It is nicely finished with attention to detail. I will be happy to hang this on my VW. This is a special order, stock width and spindles, but no shock towers to fit my Berry Mini-T body.

This shows the difference between the early '58-'64 drums and the '66-'67 rear drums. Both are used with 30mm wide rear brakes. The later drums do not fit the oil slinger and are wider, increase rear track width 6mm per side.

This circuit was originally for my beach buggy, to combine brake lights and turn signals in the rear AND combine parking lights and turn signals up front. With modifications it can be used to add those functions to a car with working semaphores.

A shot of the extended steering shaft. The controls are moved back about 10 inches in a mini-T so the steering shaft needs to be extended too.

First body fit since installing the engine. I'm building it so body removal is quick and easy. It is much nicer to work on the mechanicals without the body.

Wiper over-centers and locks up. The wiper shafts have been recently replaced with Wolfsburg West parts. It is almost as if the connecting arm is not quite long enough, allowing it to pivot over-center at the bottom of travel and then lock up when the right wiper tries to go down instead of up.

There are a few more spots of light contact that I expected. The opening can be a bit small pretty much anywhere around the perimeter. The engine has been in, closer each time. This last time it went in and I could run the bolts down with my fingers, but there was some very slight contact as I turned the crank 1 full revolution. So, the install should be for real now.

The manifold is stock and the heat risers didn't line up well with the reproduction 1973 Thing exhaust. Not sure why, but with a cut and trim it can be fixed.
