Three Pedals (Chris)

While waiting for the Speedster I decided to take care of some other things ahead of time. The Rancho IRS gearbox was shipped without a throw out bearing and the heater boxes need the cable brackets. Since it has been about 36 years since I ordered air cooled VW parts, I was worried about all this talk of poor quality parts. Back in the eighties your choice was German, Mexican, or Brazilian. Today it seems anything goes. I ordered the throw out bearing and brackets from West Coast Metric. Not cheap but hoping for good quality.

Here are pics of the transaxle before and after the throw out bearing installation:

Here are pics of the heater boxes before and after the cable bracket intstallation:

These were a bit tricky for me as memory was fuzzy. You Tube to the rescue.

More to come as soon as the Speedster gets here!
