Looks like you need a new to you used fuse box. The one you have now is pretty much parts. The repro ones are made of plastic that does not hold up to the same high heat as the OG ones. Then clean that up with soap water followed up with vinegar soak to clean off the corrosion. A must to solder up the clips inside the fuse box to get rid of voltage drops. Need a proper fuse box clip instead of the DPO self tapping screw.

That axle boot will tear itself up in that position. The split should be at 3 or 9 O'clock, not 12 O'clock like it is. As is the axle flexes up and down there and the split is not as flexible as needed in that straight up position.
Also helps to push the small end in towards the transaxle about 1/4" before tightening that end hose clamp to keep the boot from over stretching when the beetle is jacked up for maintenance. This keeps the boot from over stretching and tearing. _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |

It sounds great in the second clip and the idle seems smooth and right on.

Kind of hard to tell without our 3D glasses. Is the accelerator cable hitting the nut on the throttle shaft??
If so, what is the VW part number on the intake manifold?? _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |

Finally got through reading the whole thread, quite a journey and you stuck with it. Good on ya!
There is a wealth of knowledge on the Samba, once you filter through the advice but invaluable.
Keep at it and you'll be out the other side and cruisin' the rest of the summer. Looks like you are getting some insane hot weather!
Edit: spent Christmas Day on Lake Macquarie a couple years back. Beautifull part of the world.
