For a request in the Forums, some detail images of a gray 113863341B Boot. It's old, it's used, but I don't know if it's an original part or not, as there is no VW logo on it.

I recently took apart a definitely bad vacuum canister from a 1965 40HP distributor, an 07016 can, this is a vacuum-only distributor. This one was pretty horrible inside so I had to take a photo. A good example when telling people they should use a "shepherd's crook" or "looped" metal pipe between the carburetor and the vacuum canister!

Here's a good scan of a beat up orange decal from a mid 60s Beetle windshield washer reservoir / bottle, along with cleaned up versions of it, rendered in yellow and orange.

Here's a shot of the interiors of my 62 Bug and 61 body/66 pan Baja Bug, lit up by the "map lights" I've installed under the glove box doors in both cars. Now that I've changed to LED bulbs they are quite bright.

I bought this off of eBay many years ago thinking it would replace the totally trashed under-dash fixture I bought at a truck stop in the 1990s. But after I got it I found the lens fits kind of loosely and I didn't like it. Around that time I bought a box of assorted used and NOS parts that included a couple of Split Bus dome lights, and I decided to use one of those instead.

I don't have any idea what part number this is, or how rare it is. There are a few numbers on the SWF box it came in, but they are too smudged to be readable.

Here's a composite image detailing/comparing the 1 235 522 056/ 03 010 (VW 113905205B and 113905205C) distributor caps - which have been since the late 70s, a standard replacement item - to a cap that it replaced: the 1 235 522 183 (VW 113905205A) cap used in the late 60s and early 70s. Also shown is the Brazil made 9 231 081 711 cap, which happens to be identical to the superseded 183 cap - except it's colored black and the 183 is brown. 03010 caps are orange, and the center terminal tower sticks up a few millimeters taller than on the 183 and 711 caps.

Recently bought a pair of "Best Quality" vent wing seals from CIP1. There are no markings on the parts as to who made them. These photos compare these 2015 purchased seals to some VIBRASIL (the common ones that most places sell, including CIP1.) Brazil-made seals I bought in 2010 with a date stamp in the rubber of 2008. Also compared to an original German driver's door seal I removed from my 61-body Baja bug.

The price difference from CIP1 was surprisingly small - the VIBRASILs go for 15.99 each, so 31.98 for a pair. The "Best Quality" ones are only sold in pairs, for 34.99 as of May 2 2015

This is VW's chart of which heads they would accept in exchange as part of their rebuild program. April 1973 catalog. This is of interest because it's one of the few places where VW discusses the actual casting numbers on the heads, the ones that end in 37__ instead of the 35__ numbers they sold complete heads under.

A while back I wanted to find the date code on a O2 sensor I pulled out of my 85 Golf and looked up numbers. In the process of finding out, I learned that 2014 means the end of the previous Bosch date code numbering scheme. I was wondering what numbers they would switch to this year and found out. In the process of looking it up, I decided to assemble a chart of the post 1960 era (I don't do much VW stuff before then)

This was an attempt to sort out the confusing engine number entries in the VIN charts, which originate from the Production Survey in Progressive Refinements. Listed here are most of the production change entries found in PR and the 1200 Workshop Manual from mid October 64 to Mid April 65. It makes little sense, many numbers through this era are jumbled. It's clear that the chassis number for end-of-January should be 115 400 000 instead of 115 500 000. Other than that, it's hard to tell what was going on.

I've noticed that my most-viewed image in theSamba Gallery is my image detailing a more uncommon version of the Hazet 2568, one with a longer plastic handle on it.

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=347016

This is a similar compilation of images of the more common version of this tool. Still same part number, 2568, just with the stubby "flower" shaped knob.
