Yes, that's right Scott. Yet another authenticity detail.
I'm rebuilding the Nautilus' wiper frame assembly right now and found a point of interest in the Blue Bentley regarding wiper shaft and bearing replacements. In '65, VW had SWF make the shafts and bearings a little longer, apparently to give the wiper arms a little more leverage against the windshield. This change also moved the wiper motor and frame towards the rear of the car a bit, which then caused the early Type 3 wiper frame to hit the back of the Type 34 fresh air controls. This necessitated a new Type 34 wiper frame with a sort of 'bended up' section that clears the fresh air controls. I found a new style frame in my stash of spares, so I'm all set once I get it cleaned up and painted.
I love the Type 34, but it's stuff like this that starts to pile on and makes me question my sanity. |
We are all insane. Someone may take pity on us and call it addiction.
Like Pedro doesn't have anything better to do than make another T34, |

It's good to see a supplier willing to work with their customers. The end product makes a big difference when this happens, and those look great. Very nice, and they look so much better than the "old" style mats. Nice job. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

They are real nice at Cocomats.com. I have bought three sets from the years. The owner used to live in my berg of Los Osos at one time before he moved east.
On my Cherry Red car I went with Black and silver. Looks great. _________________ Tom Reay

You got a problem with repetition? That sounds -ist, somehow. Guess it would depend what sort of -ist das ist. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

Yeah. It'd be another story IF he owned a type 3. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

Beautiful work as usual Pedro. Very nice. I can see this going back together very soon, once the paint is done. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof
