My Volkswagen Sand Rail Build. It has a 1500cc single port engine and a 5 Rib Transmission (Swing Axle). He are some pictures.

I need new front end bushing for link/king pin front end. Does anyone know where I can get some, preferably not EMPI? |

Thank You, I will look there later on tonight and see if i can find them. I didn't know there was a strictly German made V.W. parts site. I hope they sell the bushings. |

Welcome to The Samba. Sacco also has off road bushing kits. It looks like it rains a lot where you live. A trip to an independent mufflewr shop for a U Bend and a muffler will save your engine's internals from rust. |

Nice build! I take it the date was wrong on the camera? If not, I'm a little further behind on things than I thought! _________________ I DID wash my hands....the rest is 'built-in' dirt!

It stays in a garage when I'm not driving it so the rain doesn't affect it much.
I live about 60 miles north of St. Louis.
Yes, the camera's date is way off. We've only owned it for a year.
I do plan on changing the exhaust.
Update: It now has a Holley 2110 (Bugspray) (the 200 cfm model) on it. |

Can I make a suggestion?
Turn those axle boots 90 degrees, so the seam flexes, and is not being stretched when the axle goes full travel.

Oh dang, I didn't know you were supposed to turn them sideways like that. My VW shop said, "10, or 2 O'clock, just not straight up." _________________ 1967 Baja Owner |

By front end do you mean the beam or what? I've always likes the blue + silver combo
