Hi
May I ask - can someone measure the cap on he reservoir cap?
I knocked it to the dash and can not find. It is somewhere in the dash. I can 3D print it, but do not have the internal dimensions
Much appreciate it!
Thank you

A new cap is $15, why bother making.
If it was discontinued, I could see making one. |

Hello, looks like you are in the EU based on your profile. My 82 does not have the float switch cap. I just replace the resevoir with a new one and ended up with the cap you need. I looked at dismantling it for you and making the measurements, but it's not really meant to come apart.
Before I went to the trouble to 3d print one, maybe you can find one of these over there. Here they are cheaper than lunch out.

| Maybe look further for it. New it’s not removable from what I can tell. I know over time they do pop off. Do they have auto wrecker yards over there? They used the same cap on many VWs and Audis of that era. |

It is strange that there is no JPgroup vendor in CZ.
JPGroup 1161200100 is the partnr BTW
What happened to the prague bus boys webshop?
Beetle.cz sells only used parts? _________________ Zoltan

Thx - this might help. Bus boys here source from mybusparts and they don´t have it.
Czexit? Not really. But as all states are separate entities the shipping companies use this to their advantage. Similar like cell phone roaming. Hope this would change in the future.
Alika - good tip, thx _________________ T3 Syncro camper in progress |
