My bad, just checked the port sizes.

2 inlets are 1/2" pipe with 1/4" pipe reducers. Outlet is also 1/2" to -8 with a male to female adapter.

Make offer.

For sale-Very nice fuel tank selector valve. There are some blemishes on the solenoid covers but you wont notice them unless you get up close & personal. Unit worked fine when I removed it. My tank pickups are too small so I need to pull from both at one time to get proper fuel pressure-otherwise It would be on my boat. $150 plus shipping obo.



Next for sale is a Mallory 140gph fuel filter. Fresh polish job, some minor blemishes but still in excellent condition. Replaceable filters available at summit. $80 when new, will sell for $35 plus shipping.



Shoot me a PM if interested. I cant check the site during the day but I get back online in the evening.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Which gauges for the Brendella??
« on: February 06, 2008, 08:43:07 PM »
I like the gauges that are in it.

There not in it anymore ;D

Either one works. I actually considered the carbon fibers. In the end though you can see what I decided. Go with the rex angled bezzels and send em to me. Ill put a rubber backing on them so they dont scratch the paint.

I also prefer earlier bugs, as apposed to later ones(63 and down). I cant stand the deck lids or tail lights on 67's. Although one of the more popular cars to make cal-look, I would have to argue not the BEST.

Deck lids on a 67 are special. One year only. Worth a lot in good shape. As is the trunk, door handles, doors, last year metal dash, first year 12volt., last year euro bumpers.

yeah maybe if it was a super beetle that didnt run. Right now, its hard to find a running swing axle bug for under 1500, Unless you know something I dont.


It appears I do. www.thesamba.com
VW's used to be my thing. Know way more about them than I care to admit.

Here is one, took me less than 2 minutes to find. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=562824

Its a 67 too(lets be honest, probably one of THE BEST years to own if you're into the cal-look, which you clearly are if you bought dropped spindles. Classy car, many one year, first year and last year parts. The ultimate Cal looker.

And another. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=560204. A 66 in great shape for a lot less.

Not knocking your car. But in this market you are lucky to get 35 cents on the dollar for anything. Increase the price to 4k(not much more when it comes to cars) and the options get a lot better.

One last car- A project but tons of potential and very straight.http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=509069 again, cheaper...

Pending Sale.

Note: These seats aren’t in the corbeau catalog. I bought the GTA low backs and shortened them about 6 inches. For the back seat I was going to buy another one, shorten it and widen it and then have it reupholstered to match. Im 6 feet tall and the placement as is right now is perfect provided your legs are as long as mine. There is room to move the foot pedal forward and the front seats as well which would make some more room for a back seat. There is very little room to store things like inflatables though, not that it couldn’t be done, you would just need to be creative-like put a swimstep on it and tie inflatables to that, or-you could always just drag them…

43
Is there any way to cram more than 2 people in there?

Absolutely. When I got the boat it had seating for 4 adults(5 if you get cozy). You would need to buy the boat without the current seats and put in some fiberglass buckets and then a bench would fit no problem. You would probably want to run the alternator in a standard configuration as well instead of the direct drive, or build the back seat around it

LOL, id put the Jacuzzi in my other boat. Im not afraid of them. I've seen what a good WJ can do...On the other hand, if someone wants the boat less pump, the Jacuzzi may be up for sale. I wont sell for less than $1500 though. Considering what I've got in it ($3k) thats a good deal.

45
Thanks Fork.

Would somebody buy this if I put a berk in it?

First off, buy yourself some wrenches made for this, or at a bare minimum, some snapon wrenches with the polished jaws. I had a set of craftsman crows feet that are polished and those worked really well also. If you do not use these methods, you will scratch the crap out of them. IMO, if they are scratched they look like hell. Dont use a crescent wrench wrapped with tape. Doesn't work. Jaws will cut through tape-ask me how I know. You also want the soft aluminum jaws for your vice. I did not have them, so I took an old leather belt and cut it up and wrapped fittings in it and locked them in the vice-worked well.

To cut: I tape the hose really well with some duct tape. split the difference with the tape. Then, cut with a die grinder and then be sure to (for fuel system hose) blow the hose out.

Assembly: Carefully pull the tape off. Insert the hose into the hose end fitting. Make sure the hose doesn't fray, if it does, use a small screw driver to push it into the fitting. Its a tight fit, but you should be able to do this part with your hands. You can look through the threaded end of the fitting to see when the hose is all the way in. It doesn't have to go all the way, but get it close. Now re-tape the hose at the base of the hose end. This will tell you if the next step will push the hose out of the fitting or if the assembly was successful.

Now use some motor oil or other lube(I used some bike chain lube) and spread it on the threads of the fitting. Insert into hose through hose end and start threading by hand. Make sure all threads are clean. Lock the hose end in the vice with teh hose end sticking out just a touch( eighth inch or so) and start turning the fitting with the wrench until they are close and line up the flats(looks nice). Dont get greedy with the flats. If they are close you are good. If you go to far you will break the fitting. Get them close. They dont need to touch. Make sure the assembly didn't push the hose out of the house end and you are good. Remove tape and voila.


On all my hoses< i did one end at a time. Assemble, then check fit to get a good measurement on the total length, then cut and assemble second side.

Here is a shot during my assembly. Have fun. Take your time, measure 3 times, cut once.
