Test dimmer relay by
AshMan
How can I test the dimmer relay on my '75 Std Beetle to make sure it
is working, or not?
As it is, my headlights are stuck on low beam. The relay and
associated switches were working just last week. There was a problem
while my wife was driving. She said the headlights would not turn
off. She...

58 Front Beam Rebuild by
Dan Morris
I have a fiberglass dune buggy on a 58 chassis and the front beam is a mess.
I want to rebuild the front end but can't find any articles or manuals that
cover using urethane bushings. Anybody know of any?

Problem with JBUGS/California Pacific Part 2 by
Bill S
I made an additional phone call and my problem was resolved 100%. They sent
me a replacement windshield without having to examine the first one that
arrived scratched up. I can't ask for better treatment, and I'll stay a
loyal customer for as long as I need VW Bug and Vanagon parts.

bugpack windage pushrod tubes and the pushrod seals from hell by
Scott
I'm not sure what I did wrong this time; I've rebuilt motors before
using standard pushrods with no difficulty. This was my first time
using these heavy-duty "windage" pushrod tubes. Every time I start to
torque down the heads, one or more of the seals would get squished out
into the head. I had...

72 Brake Line by

I'm installing a brake line in my 72 standard, the one that goes from
the master cylinder to the rear. The original had been replaced with
two pieces held together with a compression fitting. I cut the thing
when I replaced the floorpan by accident. Would anyone have a picture
of the original...

James A. Bowery
I've got a recently-purchased '75 campermobile that seems just fine
until it gets warmed up -- and then it loses power under acceleration.
I didn't notice the problem when I first bought it but after driving
it about 100 miles I first noticed the problem starting going around
curves on the...

Hi,
I'm building up a 1776 engine. This is my first experience bulding up
a non-stock motor. The cam that I've selected has a lift at the cam
of .380 and a lift with 1.1 rocker arms of .417. The heads were stock

Stronger gearbox options. by
[email protected]
What are the options for stronger transmissions? I have a 1975 beetle
with transaxle gearbox. I have a 300hp motor and after only 20 or so
miles, the gearbox had enough. Hewland gearboxes are ridiculously
expensive, so don't bother mentioning those. Rancho gearboxes seem a
good alternative,...
