I purchased an NOS drivers side mirror from Glenn for my 1974 Sun Bug. It arrived quickly and fits perfectly. I like doing business with those who deal in quality. |

Glenn’s work is stunning. He rebuilt an 010 for me. It was perfect right out of the box. Dropped it into my case, set timing and it fired right up. Dwell was spot on. No details missed on his rebuild....it’s almost an art piece, hate to cover it with a cap. Thanks Glenn! |

Had great dealings with Glenn!
Bought a restored Bosch distributor to replace a knockoff one. Turned out that the carb/distro combination was mismatched. Decided to put in a choke cable, replace the carb and go stock. Glenn gave me credit on the returned distro and proceeded to restore a Bosch VJU4BR8 for me.
Looks like jewelry and works like a charm!
Thanks Glenn!

** FAIR WARNING ABOUT GLENN RING**
He is as good as they get. I have learned from him that he is almost out of Bosch rebuild kits, and when they are gone, he is basically out of business. He has said that he will still repair his customers distributors, but as far as rebuilding/restoring to better than new... Better get at him while you can
Thank You for all you have done for the hobby, Glenn, me and 10,000 others have appreciated it. _________________ 2003 Samba Chummie Winner- Best Story

Sure them well. Better under your feet than another 20 years in a box under my workbench. _________________ Glenn

And as with any record run... it has to come to an end.
I just completed my last distributor rebuild since my supply of genuine Bosch kits has been exhausted.
The last is a Bosch 010 which has all NOS tune up parts on it. Wanted to go out with a BANG.
And no... it's not for sale.

End of an era. I don't like it, not one bit, but I surely understand. When you can no longer get what you need, to effect a restoration, you don't have many choices. Glenn has been known for his over the top distributor restorations, I myself have a couple of them..Mine aren't for sale, either. Glenn, Thank You for all the years of service to our hobby. _________________ 2003 Samba Chummie Winner- Best Story

Glad you found a good home for it. I was planning on installing it in my 74 but just got lazy.
Just don't know how you'll make it fit in your Split _________________ Glenn
