I'm helping swap out a transaxle in a 1964 beetle. The replacement
unit had axles that were a bit shorter than the ones that came out of
the vehicle, so I was recruited to swap over the axles and also change
one backing plate that had a broken off brake adjuster 'finger'.

One of the Kadrons has been on-and-off working and last night it was very
bad.
It is getting plenty of fuel to the bowl. I removed the top and the bowl is
floating (not sunk) and appears good. Then I took it out, sucked out the gas

I am looking for a wise person that could tell me the meaning of the
abbreviations I found on the vehicle registration card of a vehicle

So I am on the 55 freeway in Orange County, just before the 55 meets the

cyl's ... replaced all the pads and springs ... and have everything
back together, the adjusters are turned to just where they drag on the
drums ... the brakes have been blead (this is where the problem

Hi all, can someone tell me what year the wheels changed from the 5
bolt 'non vented' type to the 4 bolt vented?  I think it may be '66
but not sure.  I have a spotted a '67 beetle, but want the older style
standard wheels but just realised it probably won't be a straight

My quick story is that I have an '08 MINI Cooper Clubman that I use mostly
for the weekends and long distance driving for my hobbies.  I put too many
miles on it too soon so I want a daily driver.  Background:  My mother
bought a new '65 Beatle when I was about 2 and my uncle had ...

With gas prices the way they are I'm seriously considering a Beetle to
drive to work most days and save my Jeep for when the weather is
seriously nasty.
I'm thinking a mid 70's Super Beetle but I expect a Standard would do

the last 3 pictures are of the support rails of a triple back
convertible.  I'm sure the last time it was fixed ,quality meant
nothing but now its different.

Was driving home today and made it about halfway here (31miles from my
house to work).  Was in traffic, had to downshift to 3rd, then hit the
gas to accelerate and the pedal dropped to the floor.  I've had this
happen before in another Beetle and also in a Ford Fiesta so I knew
