thank you for the quick reply
The muffler is stock and missing the two round pieces that " F " would drop into
the middle man if you will for the hose |

I have aftermarket exhausts on mine with the stock heat exchangers. I connect the flexible hose/duct directly to the heat exchangers (B in the diagram) and secure with a 2.25 inch hose clamp, and connect the other end to the fan shroud outlet. Yes, I have to "deform" part of that flexible hose to squeeze around stuff.
Here's what my heat exchangers look like
Like in this mock-up photo:

thank you for the pics and reply
i thought of trying to pass them through also but the motor was hot at the time . I will try that as the oil temp after the 30 minute drive was 215-220
I will add a tennis ball also .
I'm going to drive another car that is set up correctly and check temps . |

Ha , well , well , if it isn't the man responsible for my beetle frenzy this summer . After staring at your 53 car at Frog Rock for HOURS , I was hooked on Beetles again .
Yes , that red 71 Ghia was there as well as my Mom's 65 vert .
Like you I drove that 66 bug vert all week with the top down before stuffing it in the garage 12/8 before the snow .
How many days until Dust OFF ! |

I'm glad I sucked in another VW addict! I never realized the completion of Herbie was gunna have this effect on people. Another VW addict decided to turn his modern Beetle into Herbie after seeing the car at a show 3 years back. I love it, now he has photos of Herbie bringing the Christmas tree home. Sorry it took so long to respond to your original post on the Herbie thread. I saw it originally but we went on vacation right after that and I never got back to it. By the way the rear of that car is lowered naturally cuz of sag. I just made the front to match it.
Also the dust off is going to be at a new location next year so keep an eye out for that!

The 66 vert was just outside of Cooperstown , NY
Next was another 66 vert pulled from a NH garage / basement ?
and , well , another vert out of VT
