KamakSun Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I was thinking about this solution: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/58626-how-to-new-fuel-filler-mod-for-a-510/ Does any body make preformed hard brake lines? Quote Link to comment
KamakSun Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hey all, Car is running well and the clutch engagement is perfect. Thanks to Les over in Vista, I got my oil pressure gauge working and the readings are good! I thought now would be a great time to address all the gauges and wiring issues. I got the tach working for a few minutes after running a new wire to the negative post on the coil and then a fuse blew. I replaced the fuse but the vdo gauges' back lights are not working as well as the ignition warning light on the dash. I'm going to post this topic in electrical. I have very limited experience with wiring, let alone trouble shooting it. I do have a budget meter I bought a while ago from Home Depot, but no clue on how to use it. Any references to a single site (so I don't get confused) such as the idiots guide to auto electrical diagnostics would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again, Kamaksun Quote Link to comment

Thanks again, Kamaksun I'm not one to comment much on electrical issue, but I wanted to stop into say I like the car. And just like everyone else, I want some updates :) Quote Link to comment
KamakSun Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Sorry that I dropped off the radar. I was able to bring the brakes back to life so I slapped r888 onto the 13x7 libres and went for a drive. The car was driving ok considering the carb needed a correct rebuild and every bushing needs to be replaced. I was running a single 45dcoe which I was told was the wrong way to go, rather use the twin webers. So here I am, rebuilding the webers on my own since paradise vw did a terrible job. Right now one of the carb bodies is soaking in a harbor freight sonic cleaner filled with heated mineral spirits. Once they are reassembled, I'm faced with a serious first world problem, which header to use. I'll be posting that in the exhaust thread. Quote Link to comment
KamakSun Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Additionally, the valves needed some serious adjusting which attributed to some scary compression test reading and poor performance. Quote Link to comment
