Re: Tracking down my orginal 1959 356A 1.6 engine

Stick something on Volkzone (VZI) forum. Might get lucky.

Assume you have asked PRS if they have that engine / case in their stash or if it’s passed through their hands?

Well done! I’ve been through some challenges with custom crank / cam triggers so I know how frustrating that can be!

Re: KS's hillclimbing odyssey

Not particularly easy on a type4 head.

Re: endoscope for iphone

Have one of these.

Mark the orientation of the camera on the outside with a bit of tape or something. It’s easy to get completely confused given the worm’s-eye view!

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Thanks everyone for your comments Jonny what are the pizza flaps?
