I know quantum mechanics in oxford ct has been the go to shop for our gearbox repairs.. do you have other shops on retainer?

Any luck finding a more adventuresome locksmith, or take a set of files & calipers to your blank until you have something that works?

That'll definitely help with all the 'covid baggage'

I found the 1" thick thermostatic sandwich plate offset the oil filter too far beneath the car for comfort (even with an extra short filter). This led me to order a Raceline.co.uk straight oil filter adapter. I picked it up from the post-office and installed it this morning and am very pleased thus far. The filter no longer extends beneath the chassis and is just above the diagonal frame member in the picture below. Last week I added upper supports to the radiator to secure the oil cooler. With sunny weather forecast for Friday I hope to test out my winter projects.

I've had several recommendations for Stable energies in Garfield NJ I plan to drive down this month to look for a better fit than I have right now. HMS in Devens may also have a selection in stock but may be further away from you than Garfield.

found it: 2005 GTI rear calipers.

Does anyone know the size/thread pitch was used for Birkin rear caliper brake bleeder screws from ~2010 ? i know calipers are a lightly machined VW source. When I checked with my parts store guru this afternoon he handed me an ~M10x1 bleeder screw which is much larger than what’s on my car. P.

Ooh. It really glitters

Dr Hasegawa Thank you for sharing, I've always enjoyed your drive photos for the past 10 years ! p.

Previously the foam rubber stripping around my bonnet needed replacing. I tried to replace it with foam weather striping which was too thick and quickly fell apart. This go around I found a thin silicone anti-chafe strip from Aircraft Spruce. So far it’s thin enough not to obstruct fitment of the bonnet and looks high quality. With contact adhesive installation went surprisingly smoothly. Three or four more things to do and I’ll be

Any chance you can get it welded together? My former neighbor fixed my handbrake cable.

Fender fixed

2nd that. I ordered my harness through them. very helpful folks

Simultaneous inertia belt anchor? i think Caterhams from the ?90’s like KitCat’s old car {my first 7 drive} had both 3 & 5 point harnesses installed.

28500 miles. my fender mount broke when removing this afternoon. I think that was probably over due...

How do i upload documents the Downloads section? I have other files pertaining to T9 gearbox identification & maintenance i'd like to share with everyone?

it's been a few years. When i placed my order with East Coast fiberglass the lady said they couldn't ship (assuming hazardous resins). once she saw my order was just for hardware it was no problem.

Check your footwell wall. my car has a access hole you can insert a driver through to reach the gearbox fill hole

What kind of lift & how much celing clearance do you have?

NeoBear welcome to the insanity.. - install an oil cooler from the start. I drive like a granny and needed to put one in this year; and i'm not in SoCal! - install uprated cams before putting the engine in, it'll save you time - sit & ride in a se7en (somewhat doesn't matter which model) just to get a further feel for the car. There is a good chance someone is within an hour or two drive of you who wouldn't mind showing you their car. - are you planning to assemble yourself or have a pro do it? good luck & enjoy the process!

Please explain as I would expect the alternator's voltage regulator to maintain ~14v output when the engine is running?? {I'm not an engineer} p.

Beautiful clams!!

Croc - given the window so late in the year I’m intrigued with the prospect for shipping. A great deal will change between now and then so I can not commit with certainty

I installed schroth flexi 6- point last year and like it for the driver (me). I appreciate the narrower webbing and adjusters better then my previous RJS harness. However the schroth is more expensive. Unless the belts are very worn it may not be terrible considering allowing the buyer to install what they prefer? {in-date 6point for track use, inertia reel or 4point ASM belts for street driving}? - having said that: I for one appreciate the extra safety & security of a 5 or 6 point harness even if just blatting about on public highways. The Extra time and inconvenience getting into the car is well worth the added safety.
