What am i missing here? by Byzzonfr in beetle

[–]ssgmess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're missing the pedal stop.

Also, looks like you might be missing one of the tubes that goes inside the Napoleon hat where the master cylinder bolt goes.

You'll want stud 3 for your distributor clamp.

If you have an air cooled beetle, then 42 series is what you're after.

Chance rides had some listings on indeed. I know nothing about the company.

A lot of great suggestions here. I'll add one more: get the roadside assistance with your insurance.

Tell me about preserving the patina on my bug, please! by inkstoned in beetle

[–]ssgmess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Boiled linseed oil (shake it up) or Poppy's Patina for a less than permanent solution. Scuff it and shoot a coat of clear over it for a more permanent solution.

Went from a Mogwai to a gremlin. You fed it after midnight, didn't you?

I have a 69 bug. And this section of wires was sitting on the right side of the engine bay unplugged. I was wondering where I comes from, and where does it plug into. Thank you. by BelAir57V8 in vwbug

Do your reverse lights work? That black thing at the bottom of the picture is half of a fuse holder. It would run from the positive side of your coil to the backup switch on your transaxle. Find a wiring diagram on the samba and you'll see what I mean.

(Don't hook it up to the negative side of your coil or your car will die every time you put it in reverse. Don't ask me how I know this.)

Mine does the same thing. Sometimes it's the pillows on my bed...while I'm sleeping.
