I would go drive him around, but the wiring is all hanging out all over while Chuck is doing surgery on his wire world. An elder VW guy up here looked under the dash and asked if I was trying to run 220 from there. Today we will do the brakes deluxe and finish the wiring. Cold here. 32 degrees and freezing rain. Good thing to be inside. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Denning To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 6:36 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: So, Chuck is here you don't have gear reduction boxes??? because it's lowered??? becasue you put the front bar on the back??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: coocoo@xxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] So, Chuck is here Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:46:17 -0600 I bought an after market sway bar when I was at the Bulli Brigade. Best swap meet ever. Anyway, I bought two bars and 4 boxes of parts. Not until today did I turn out all the boxes and instructions onto a table. The instructions looked like something from Indiana Jones. The envelopes were manila from, like the Korean War and the papers were all termite eaten and crumbly. But there was even a really old decal. The company was Addon. They made swaybars. As a fluke I Googled them. They are making sway bars for Lotus, They are still in business big time. I call the 800 number. They answer. I say I have some really old stuff here for a "63 VW bus. She says, "Kit 935?" and I look at the Egyptian looking stuff and find the number. "Yes, could you E-mail me the instructions?" "Yes, Do you also have the rear kit, 735?" I look "Yes" She emails both. So, my friend, Brad, who built my big new room, and Chuck install the front bar while I found tools and washers and took abuse. We come to the rear bar and we attach everything at the shocks, but then the bar won't come up high enough to attach at the frame. The bars that run under and parallel to the tranny, in front of the tranny support wont let the bar make contact with the frame. Why? We told this tale to another long time VW guy, and he knew immediately.
