what capacity and the brand of your compresor for your new abrasive blaster?
@TrixedOut4 күн бұрын
Hi! I have a 60 gallon, 3 HP, Northern Star Model PK-6060VNS. What’s nice about using a pressurized sandblaster is that you don’t have to have a giant compressor. The draw back is having to stop to refill media. That’s not that big of a deal since the fill port just screws off. If I was to change anything it would be buying a larger media tank.

You might need to put the flywheel back on, to remove the crankshaft pulley, when the time comes.

Sure you know this. On the small, rusted bolts, six-point wrench small taps with a hammer in both directions and PB Blaster. Big tools and small bolts equal broken bolts.

Thanks Charles! I really appreciate you taking the time to give me this great tip. I cut out a bunch of things I tried to do to get that one nut off. I even tried heating just the nut but I was too nervous about getting heat near the case. I finally gave up being gentle and resorted to the breaker bar. I use FreeAll. Have you ever used it? I'm wondering if PB Blast is better or comparable. Now that I have a broken off stud in my case, do you have advice re how to get it out? I'm thinking I'll need to drill it out carefully and put a case saver in the hole. Is that correct?

Nice job. On the flywheel lock tool, you can replace the nut with a wing nut. To make it easier to use the tool. The 3/4 breaker bar is nice tool to have. I have the same tool.

Thank you so much! You know, when I decided I was going to figure out a way to do all this, the first thing I did (aside from watching a billion how to videos) was set up my garage so I had the space. I believe in that, "If you build it, they will come," sort of thing and, lo and behold, here I am. Shortly after I got the space figured out, I found my bug only about an hour away from my house. It was a great price. Plus, it wasn't so toasted that it was beyond all hope. I say you do that!

Great vids. Love that you credit Slades content too. Suggestion for small parts cleaning, especially carbs - Ultrasonic Cleaner (USC). I use a wide mouth glass jar or plastic jar like what nuts are packed in. Wide mouth is key. Wire mesh tea leaf balls to hold small small parts. I put Simple Green or Seafoam in the jar with parts, and distilled water in the Cleaner. The jar just barely floats in the water thats in the USC. Strain the used Simple Green through a coffee filter and keep reusing it. Stay gold.

So good to see you back! I’ve been wondering what happened to you. Good to see another update. You’re in good company on the challenge you faced with disassembling your struts. Just about everyone else that’s posted videos of strut removal on their channels were able to remove the three bolts with a 3/8” ratchet and then the three parts just fell apart. I ended up buying used spindles on eBay as I couldn’t get mine to separate (even after ruining my wood chisels trying). Just a tip for future reference… SnapOn sold a purpose-made brake adjustment tool for getting to the adjustment Star wheels on the front brakes on ‘71-‘72 Super Beetles. I picked one up on eBay and it’s a game changer for adjusting the front brake shoes. Great video and loved the music from Carmen!

15:30: Ah, yes, the famous 4-cyl distributor cap. Back in the early 80's, I worked at a Porsche-Audi dealership, and worked in the parts department about half of the time. I learned pretty quickly that 4-cyl Audi caps were the same as VW Rabbit caps, as were 4 cyl Porsche 924 caps. One day somebody brought in a 928 with Belgian tags, and it had a dual distributor setup that US models did not. I mentioned that the caps sure looked like those from a 924/Audi 4000/VW Rabbit, and the shop foreman (a German man named Helmut) informed me that EVERY VW back to the earliest type 1's used that same distributor cap.

26.02: You are not using those Vernier calipers correctly. Note on the first measurement, you were measuring from the 'flats' of the jaws on both ends. On the second measurement, only the top jaw was measuring from the flat; the lower jaw was measuring to the gap between the flat and the slide. I've never measured how much that 'step' is, but I'd bet it was at least .100". Also, measuring from the inside of a rusty, butt-weld hole guarantees you almost zero accuracy...

HI Trish, greetings from Florida. I wasn't sure about most of the parts you had, but as someone else mentioned, the speedo and the clock are from late 60's and 70's Type 3. I had a 66 Type 3 Squareback back in the day, and that's the speedo and clock I had. But the prize is the Sapphire radio. If you can get it to work, it will certainly fit into your 71 Super. I tried to find a Sapphire AM/FM for my 73 Super, and I did find a working one on eBay, which I got. Problem is, it did not come with the proper faceplate or the radio knobs. I found a faceplate for it, but it wasn't cheap. The proper knobs like you have on your radio are nearly impossible to find. And when I did find some, they were as much as $50 each, and there are 4 on that radio. I'm not paying that kind of money for radio knobs. So I boxed the radio, put it on a shelf, and installed a period correct non-Sapphire radio that looks almost identical. I'll hang on to the Sapphire and one day I will find a faceplate and knobs that I can afford. In the meantime, the one I installed works just fine. I'm looking forward to seeing you work on your Bug again. The blast cabinet is nice. Could I have really used one of those over the years. Update on my 73 Super. Engine is done, first start has been done while on the stand. It runs perfectly. It's been wrapped up and put aside until he's ready for installation. I had to buy a set of refurbished heads for it. The moron who put plugs in it (over 20 years ago) cross-threaded 3 out of 4 of the plugs and chewed up the spark plug holes so bad that new plugs could not be installed. There is a way to repair them from what I was told. I guess you put in a sleeve and re-tap the holes. A lot of work but it was cheaper for me to just buy a set of refurbished heads. Just like it was much cheaper for me to buy a brand new carb rather than rebuild the old one. $22 bucks for the rebuild kit, a couple hours of work (that I'm for paying by the hour) versus a brand new carb for $55 bucks. Body work is all done, and it should go to primer this weekend if the weather holds. Then glass removal, and paint within the next week or so. Getting closer. Still will be May/June for completion. Look forward to your next video. Cheers! 😎

P.S. Refurbished my bumpers last week. Disassembled them, cleaned, sanded and painted the brackets, compounded and polished the bumpers, and installed the new bumper guards. (thanks for you help on the guards) They look great. Not show quality but certainly driver quality. They aren't the original ones, but they came from VW in Brazil in 1999. They were pre-drilled for the front license plate frame and bumper guards. I only had to drill through the rubber impact strip. What a pain that was, but it's done.
