    The stiffer springs of those CB heads (I assume Panchito), will put more side load on those stock clips and spring washers, that's for sure. Not surprised they failed on you. Nice job doing a road side fix to get home.

      Silly hard lesson - that I already knew better but had been lazy about it for way to long. The bus that had those cute kids in it was running your new version Fan and backing plate. I DIG IT!!

      @@VWLifeVW I figured you did know better, and I liked the roadside fix. Pretty innovative to get yourself home. Nice to hear the bus was running my new Evolution Two cooling fan. That's cool! I love seeing it out there. It's the product of a dream, and I mean that literally. I was thinking about how I might be able to develop something that worked from both sides, but for the life of me, I couldn't visualize it and design it. After months, I had a dream, and the design just became so clear. The next day, I had a CAD model of it and starting printing the first prototype. It changed a bit from that original dream, because of the issues with all the various throttle linkages that are out there in the wild, but it's basically the same as what I dreamed.

    I've had pretty much every air-cooled VW (currently a 1963 23 Window) but one I would love to have back was my 1967 Fastback. Man I love those!

    I always carry a small tool box wherever i go but my wife only lets me carry pliers and a screwdriver in her car. Good to hear you weren’t stranded for a long time and your buddies bailed you out. Luck was involved since you found wire on the roadside!

    • @VWLifeVW
      @VWLifeVW  3 місяці тому +2

      Yea I asked Chris if he had any wire.. He said "you mean like this" it was literally right on the ground under the car . If we would of stopped anywhere else it could of taken a lot longer to get home. Smarts and LUCK was certainly on our side.. :)

    > 7:45. My cabrio is a 2000. The facelifted (a3) mk3.5 golf cabrio was made from 2000-2002. The mk3/a3 golf cabrio (square headlights) was made from 94-99. Karl is remembering the year of my GTI VR6 which is a 98. Close but no cigar, boys!!!

    I have a question, my 74 Bug was totaled (beat to hell) in the last apocalypse hail storm. I let the insurance take it because I'm unable physically to start over. I have quite a few 74 parts and several overall parts I no longer have a need for, including Motorola radios, new carb, etc. Do you know of anyone who might give me a fair price for these. I'm not wanting top dollar but reasonable exchange. I would be willing to bring the parts to their location.
