The clip came off? Where did it go? Is it stuck in a push rod tube?
You could try taking another clip off and go to the NAPA store on rt 6 in Orleans and see if they have something that would work...
Call Bug City in CT and see if he will fed ex you a couple? _________________ my59: Well son, my grandfather died before I got to drive it, so does that answer your question?

I’m in Harwich, but have nothing here.
Autozone is in Yarmouth, they might be able to get you something overnight. At least they’re open Sat+Sun.
Otherwise try a seller who will overnight something to you at the campground?
Can you fab something from a wire hitch pin or something?

Glad I was able to help. Air cooled VWs are just so non existent in this area, and I was surprised that I was able to help someone in the immediate vicinity, nevermind someone who is visiting or on vacation 100 miles from home. It felt good, it reminded me of 30-40 years ago when I was getting into Bugs and trying to keep them drivable on a budget while I was in college. There was always someone out there willing to get you out of a jamb.
Best of luck on your return trip _________________ Come on, It's not rocket science. KISS |
