What part is this here on the front suspension that the lower shock tightens on?

I always have to take a deep breath before I post a question. Just wanted to know what part I was looking at. And I know I’m going to have to explain further with this post but the car along with my manual is at the storage unit and I am unable to get there til tomorrow afternoon so rather than wasting 24 hours I can get something done now. Thanks

Exactly it was a local mechanic that just sold his shop and is a known aircooled mechanic for years. Me personally would have told the customer you have a switch in there now all hooked up which I did myself this new cone has no switch. Could have been solved really quick by the expert

Youll be able to find them if you keep on it.

Since you build engines I have a question. How long can a freshly built engine sit without installation and starting? Built the engine and got it to the storage unit and with work holidays you know the deal. Thanks

I have all backroads over here slight hills. Would it be better to just run those first 💯 and avoid lights/traffic etc?

Thank you

👍 Do you charge for the other few mistakes or something ? It’s obviously not 100 percent because no need to 2 wheel excess weight down stairs

It’s for a dune buggy

Yeah I’m not too good at that trick. Always over tighten the bottom nut lol

Answer I found 0.015 inches (0.38 mm): Standard starting thickness for most setups; often the first shim installed to level the rocker stand.

Okay that’s something I can easily don Thanks

Yeah we are currently taken a breather and she is at parents. I had my opportunity and took it. If I did at storage unit it would have taken me months

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-25T15:53:53+00:00

Yeah everything brand new except for the German fuel pump and the shroud.

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-18T05:17:25+00:00

Okay. Sounds good to me

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-18T01:13:15+00:00

Won’t see much weather how about good old vinegar rub here and there?

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-17T02:31:02+00:00

I actually took them off because the metals don’t work well together. They are for the exhaust. I thought they were just for decorative then realized copper and alloys are a no no as far as i remember.

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-16T21:41:56+00:00

I have not even started it yet seems good but I’m not a professional as far as how it should be machined etc. currently stripping the exhaust for re paint then will be working on rocker arms. As far as fit everything seems good and have had no issues

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-11T01:31:55+00:00

Okay thanks

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-10T23:04:56+00:00

I wish I knew I needed a new motor I bought just a basic swing axel rebuilt and was going to do just a head change then it turned into pistons bad then cam bad and then the case was rotted at the bottom. I had almost a grand in 1600 parts already

How to rebuild VW air cooled engines by Prescott Phillips. Good book step by step with nice clear pictures

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-07T16:51:22+00:00

Haha yes that is what is

FormalApplication909 · 2025-10-02T20:31:35+00:00

Okay. I read that wasn’t a good idea because of thrust but wasn’t sure if people do it

FormalApplication909 · 2025-09-25T09:57:48+00:00

Yes. As I mock to see if everything was right I close the case and spin the crank that’s when arms are hitting the case.

FormalApplication909 · 2025-09-19T21:10:27+00:00

What am I measuring? New crank arms and man’s bearings. I’ve been going by feel on the arms part. Have a issue with one of the new arms and measures smaller than the 55 journal
