Re: 1971 VW Type 3 Fastback
As you will now see, ive sorted it. The image links had done some funky stuff. After Vegas I then had just over a week to finish the prep on a 1912 Talbot type M which I would be supporting on a VCC tour across Spain and France. This would be getting on for 3 weeks away. I will go light on the detai...

Re: Furious Fastback
Also dont use engine oil, it will degrade the rubber. The correct thing to use is a silicone lubricant. Either a tine of grease or an areosol. I use an aerosol when fitting rubber parts and things tend to slid in rather easily after that. Carbuilder solutions are a reliable soruce for ethanol proof ...

They're different to beetle ones. They have a type 3 part number and operate a different way.

Re: Type 3 heater hose
I have used the flexi aluminium tubing and clamped it with Jubilee clips but I could also wrap it in isulation. What did you use for the two smaller 25-26mm connections? I got some proper stuff from ISP west. A friend brought it over from cali quite some years ago on holiday. I know this doesnt hel...

Re: Ignition Cutting Out
Sounds like youre on to something, because at idle the dynamo doesnt provide enough volts to charge the battery, and thus the regulator isnt doing anything.

Re: Alternator options
As long as the loom wasnt butchered, under the rear seat you would be able to add the regulator back in. Get a Bosch solid state one. There is a straight swap dynamo/alternator but its £500. https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/p/vw-type-3 If youre running standard electrics, the dynamo is fine. I...

Re: Bonnet release cable routing- Fastback
Try lubricating the mechanism first. Some wd40 and then operate the level a few times. Often the catch will jam.

Glad to hear that! Thought you had spotted a dead giveaway for them being fakes.

With those carbs, you're best taking them apart. They are weber 34ict copy's. And they are supplied with jets and emulsion tubes for a Bedford van.

Looks like you don't have the mounting bar on it now.
Is that the fastback that was on ebay in Scotland for some time? I recognise those air filters. When you say northern half of the UK, where are you?
