I was wondering if there was any mechanicals happening, usually there are some minor glitches that need looking after.
looks like it was a fun time

Yup, too much heat around the hub. Crystalized the sheet metal (made it brittle).

I wonder if the welding near the hub melted the rubber inside, causing it to no longer be balanced, and then the play and imbalance led to the grenading?
On the other hand, if it was welded tight, so the rubber is no longer doing anything, THEN balanced, it should be okay. But I figure VW added the rubber (making it a harmonic balancer) for a good reason. |

Added the event video from Tim Seward on the Type 3 Rally page. I highly recommend giving it a watch to get you pumped for 2024!
It's also posted on our Instagram and Facebook pages.

Video is awesome and professional and inspiring!
I sound like the old guy in the Progressive insurance commercials, but... it took a lot of planning and rushing around to pull off those shots while staying with the group. A great sacrifice by those who made it happen, THANKS!! |

Hey all, I have an article in the HotVWs August "Type 3 Special" issue covering the Type 3 Rally.
See you in 2024!

Not on newsstands yet here, so I ordered it online. Pricey but worth it!!
I hope they aren't burned out on Type 3s, and run your story/photos from the 2022 Invasion soon! |
