On my 71 Super bug I appear to be missing a piece of engine tin. Looking at
the engine, to the left of the pully, but not down in the hole of the pully,
there is a threaded hole and a non threaded hole. The threaded hole has a
nut attached to the underside of the tin. Any ideas what ...

All of the bug's are gone now.
The 77 just left with the new owner.
I have the 71 in a local friends garage
and the 66 in my brothers garage.

I am wondering if high performance 1 1/2" heater boxes will deliver warm air
when it gets cold.  I don't think any of them (aircooled.net, gene berg,
kymco) have internal fins inside the boxes like the stock ones do.  Now that
it has gotten cold can anyone give me an opinion on ...

I have  74 BEETLE standard (not super) with I believe a single-port 69
engine.  I recently lost the right-side heater box (apparently it just fell
off while I was driving, ouch).  I am planning to replace with
"staight-pipe" solution, basically just a curved pipe connecting from the

I have removed the stub axles and bearings to refresh them with grease and
just to check on their status. I bought the kits that have the seals,
backing plate gaskets, flat washer and O-Rings.  I have the spacer and
bearing assembly figured out but am not sure where the O-Rings and ...

Snap-on and almost every other brand of timing lights out there? Craftsmans
go for anything around 50-80 dls, and Snap-on STARTS at 200 dls. What do
these snao-on things do? do they make your engine double its ...

Emergency! the rust cancer is killing my frame head. It's a SB with a case
of shimmies, I was replacing the shocks when I saw it. Is there a place I
can get a new frame head? I'd rather replace the whole thing than patching
it with sheet metal. How should I do this?

This has been asked and argued like a 1000 times I'm just never around to
read the conclusion.
Where is the best place to get window rubber?
I think Bebe's may be leaking a little in the front so I figure I might as

Is there an advantage to having the engine stand for VW's or can you use the

I have two 74 Super Beetles and the rear window defroster grids on both
are shot. Does anyone know where I could send them off to to get
repaired or recommend a really good standalone blower unit that will
keep them clear of fog and frost.

What is the size of the nut that holds the back wheel drum brake in place
in a '72 SB? I mean this one in the pic:

"S", "+" and "-".
The voltage has two prongs "+" and "-".  Is the "S" to the sending unit, the
