Thanks Terry, I have a stub I will try and turn out. I did welding trick on a bus engine one time and it worked well. I will try the vice grips first

New engine is almost ready to install into the squareback!!! Just a couple more bits to install. I wanted to use an original muffler but the one i have is rusted pretty good and I need an oxy acetylene torch to get the bits apart but I do like this one because it tucks up and out of sight except the tail pipe

Went up to visit the boys at R @ R today. HighTopRob's VW's were out enjoying the sun! My old Fasty is giving Rob sterling service as his daily driver and he is enjoying it very much! It was a very fun car to go cruising in. For those that have never driven a Type 3, a good one is SOOO much better then an equivalent Beetle... And my ride for the trip was the Corvair of course. Needed a long run after changing out those chokes and adjusting the transmission band. It ran and drove great! And surprisingly the secondary head temp gauge that doesn't seem to do anything, followed the main gauge exactly today, for the first time in my ownership. I did not even think it was connected to anything. Hmmm...

The picture doesn't do justice to the brilliant reflective metallic paint job. Absolutely stunning.

Are any of these fine vehicles coming to Ladysmith this Friday and/or Saturday? miacvw.proboards.com/thread/1847/ladysmith-rod-run-show-shine
