I would use a high pressure moly grease, like CV grease. Use it sparingly and only at the wear points, so it doesn't gather dirt and act as a grinding compound. Make it a habit to wipe it all free once a year or so, and regrease, so it stays clean. A good time to clean and relube (with silicone spray--leaves no dust gathering residue, and it's sliding friction so less pressure) so your seats stay happy.
The other thing to extend their life is to NEVER press against the seat back when turning the knob. Take ALL pressure off the cam (and the corresponding wear point in the seat frame/back when adjusting the rake angle. I actually pull the seatback forward and turn the knob, then release it, the few times I adjust it. |

Just back checking as had some enquiry for supply ..... IF anyone is interested in a seat/seat/pair let us know and I'll try to get nilza to get another order put up and delivered.
Lubricant and advice from Phil as posted above is what I did and advised others to go with. |

Giving this thread a revival as no doubt there are Type3 owners out there with no idea these seat cam adjusters are available |

I think he sold out, since the ad was deleted. But if there is enough new interest in another production batch...maybe? |

Sorry it's been a while since I was on here ..... life's been busier than normal if there is such a thing.
If anyone is interested in these seat adjuster cams then please contact nilza (Nils Birkmann) by email at [email protected].
The advertisement lapsed after I thought I'd edited it to keep it live.
Once again I apologise for not replying to the PM or staying on top of this thread and the advertisement. |

Hi all, turns out my account was inactive
Been doing less and less vw related stuff I am afraid.
I have been receiving a few emails in regards to adjusters this year, so I think a new batch is probably not too far away.
Please register you interest if you have not done so already.
Thanks as always _________________ still floating around the web somewhere |

Quotes are back, as expected they are unfortunately going to be dearer than the last lot.
Cost will be $95 per seat (one left and one right cam)
There are currently 10 pairs on order with 3 spoken for here in OZ, drop me a message if you are interested please before we put the add back up in the classifieds. _________________ still floating around the web somewhere |

May be interested but don't have any experience with this part..
What years does this fit? Is this piece mostly worn out on all seats? |

I believe they can be used on all type 3s from 61 thru 71.5 except the T-34. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

Hi all,
I've been advised that no more orders will be done for the seat ajuster cams unless someone can come up with and order of 10 sets/seats or more.
The constant back and forth and maybe/maybe not is time wasting, frustrating and not acceptable nor condusive to getting an order put in place and fulfilled.
If you are after a set (this comprises 1 x L & 1 x R cam for 1 seat) or know of anyone who wants these then keep asking & searching for others after them until a firm Commitment for a minimum of 10 sets or more can be made and paid for ..... then and only then will an order be progressed to fulfillment.
The prime condition for production has always been a minimum of 10 sets (seats) which hasn't changed ..... what has changed is the onus of co-ordinating an order for the minimum number now rests on someone taking on the task then approaching Nils.
Thanks for your understanding. |
