Casso the flipseat (August 1963) - not a restoration

simply put, the only thing that wasnt white inside was ;

the roof
the long side panel and the short one (between rear wheel and cargo door).

The rest, as far as i can tell, was all off-white. (blue white?)

It appears that i vastly underestimated the time required to install the new wiring. I should have known when i unboxed those a long time ago ;

Spent 2 hours today just trying to understand the wiring diagram and figuring out what is what color. I used the 1963 wiring diagram and the wiring harness here ;

Obviously, i already lost the instruction that came with it.. i think.



Then trying to find which switch goes where based on the bentley.

Correct me if i'm wrong (Pretty sure i am) ;

J5 : gas gauge, ok, that one i'm sure i'm right
E : Windshield Wiper Switch
J6 : Emergency light switch
F : Lighting Switch


Lastly, i have this blinker relay that i wonder if its worth keeping/selling? Since its a 6v, i figure i'll have to replace it anyway

Looks like correct placement of gauge and switches.

Relay is a good one to sell if you know it works, or give away if you do not know or it is not working.

don't forget the interior light switch (correctly done on your steering pod left.)

Sooo, yeah. When christmas vacation arrived, i decided to challenge myself and get the engine in...


then someone told me that 6v starter teeth do not fit with 12v flywheel... possible? From what people were saying on the forum, 6v works, just not very good on the starter... So anyway, i tried to have it turn, and nothing happens. But i don't care, i'm working on it and getting it ready for when i get my 12v starter.

First thing, grinding the tranmission. I think i went a bit too far i think and started getting to the tread.

I did hit another trouble ; one of the bolt cant be removed. I started trying to get some PB Blaster in, but considering how the hole is, i'm not sure its getting there... I tried forcing it, but i dont want to break anything... anyone got an idea?




Next, i worked on my front floor mat. It's cleaning pretty well. Once its finally clean, i'll start repaing the tears.

Lastly, wiring!

6 volt starter will work just fine on 12 volt, but you can not mix 6 volt with 12 volt gears.

Have you tried tightening the bolt a tiny bit and loosen? Repeat till you get it to wiggle ever so slightly and then add in more oil.

IIRC The threaded holes in the "horns" are open on the other end (toward front of bus). I would try saturating it from that side too, then use some heat if that doesn't do the trick.

So, i'm still working on the electrical part, and trying to figure out what i'm missing.

So from the diagram , i need a "turn signal flasher" and a "emergency flasher relay".

If i believe the diagram, the turn signal flasher should be this (it has 49, 49a and 31 pin);

And i'm taking a wild guess, the emergency flasher relay should be this ;
http://store.concept1.ca/Flasher-Relay-T2-62-65-12V-211953226-WW/

Am i right?

EDIT : also, is there a chart somewhere where i can find what kind of bolt goes where? I need to replace ;
Steering box bolt
Engine bolt's nut
Apron Bolt
Tranny mount's Bolt and Nut.

thanks.
Following that site, i found these ;

Steering gear mount :
5x Bolt, Hex, Head AM 10x40

Transmission mount :
2x Spring washer B20
4x Bolt, hex Head M 8x15
4x Spring washer B8
4x Nut hex. M8

engine :
4x Nut M10 Din 934

Apron :
4x Bolt hex. M8x42 DIN 931

I have to admit, i never bought bolt and nuts of a specific size... so i'm not even sure if all this make sense.

Bolts are shown as diameter of the threaded shaft, then length of bolt from tip to underside of the head. Hmm, you will also need the thread pitch of each. SAE shows that as how many threads per inch 13 in the following, EG 1/2-13 x 1-1/4". Metric is how many threads per mm, usual ones are 1.00, or 1.25, or 1.50.

Nifty thing is you can use the parts manual to look up parts on line. Have found stuff that was pretty much unknown that way.

Lets take the engine bolt and studs nuts. The part number is "N 11 010 2" in the manual. For on line searches it works best to take out the spaces, so "N110102". You are going to get a lot of random results with a WWW search with just that number, add "VW" to it like so "VW N110102" and you get these results:
