how about for us van guys a 5cyl bellhousing (with clutch slave bracket and throwout cross shaft)
5spd vanagon transmissions.
headlight washers,
I'd like a RHD beetle/thype3 automatic pedal assembly.
(for a RHD auto thing project i'm dreaming up)
probably need a RHD beetle steeringbox too.. unless the regular are either/or.
5 speed transmissions aren't that thin on the ground, but good ones are and to be honest they ain't that great, the 2.0l air cooled box is a good stong one and what people use for engine swaps as they are regarded as the stongest of the manual boxes.
Oettinger when they did their WBX6 conversions used auto boxes as they are stronger still. The 5 speed box is really nothing special and prone to problems, they get whiney and 3rd gear synchro hubs have a nasty habit of falling in pieces generally locking the box into 3rd.
Head light washers, these come from Sweden generally as they are fitted as standard, headlight washers for round headlights are quite rare but still availabe from VW and can be retro fitted to a normal grille.
The rectangular headlamps with washers have metal brackets formed into the rear of the grille to support their weight. The washer tank is bigger and needs a 4 bar pump and relay 33 to operate them.
Everyone here wants rectangular headlamps for their vans as generally camper vans in this country are converted for really low spec panel vans with windows cut into them, they don't have intermittant wipers as a rule so easy bolt on bling goes for big bucks.
If your grille has metal brackets then I could try to source the rest of the bits you need if interested, I have a contact in Sweden who I buy the odd bit from and do stickers for (Tristar, syncro, steyr Puch etc...)
Badges, right, I do have the design for the 1.9TD as fitted from the Passat and I do have the little square "DIESEL" and "turbo DIESEL" as fitted to mid 80's stuff and can reproduce them in vinyl if needed.
5 cylinder bellhousings come from South Africa, I have a friend who has a 2.5 TDI (5 cyinder) in the back of his T3 crew cab, well, he did have, he's just taken it out and is fitting it here..
http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8602&PN=11Y inlet manifolds (D ports and long runner) I have just sent 3 to the States and another one down south, I am on the look out for more.
Which exhaust manifolds do you want? the AAZ ones? I just throw those away! :lol:
I will look to see if the steering wheel centres are still availabe from VW, anyone got a picture or know what they were fitted to, to help the search?
