the empi ones from cip marc! I looked at the race spec hoses and I m going to go that route as well. I have too much to do though and don't think I have time to get it on the road without doing the full conversion. After all the other stuff is done than hopefully I l get the disc stuff done......time though. For real I think that will be next summer.

hey frank that style of boot should be clocked at 3 o clock and 9 o clock better flex so they last longer.

The owner of Northwest Connecting Rod in the Seattle area, Jerry Koepping, recommended to me these "cheap" non-German boots because he has found they don't leak like the others. In addition to what the manual says(30 degrees off vertical if memory serves), Jerry said to be sure to compress the bellows slightly towards the trans. This allows the boot to work without too much stress each way. Just a thought…. Here is one that I put on my 62 truck after enduring the leaky German ones. Jerry also recommends using Ultra Black silicone on the surfaces where the bolts go. Mine didn't leak at all after this.  |

Judging by the Tim's coffee cup lids, I'd say drinking lots of coffee whilst working on your V Dub?!

FAAAAACK Mitchy correct on all counts!!! I was thinking about putting a pair of leather gloves on whilest I do the braided lines but in fear of getting hassled I just went without....so YEAH....let the bleeding fingers commence! Going to make sure oil pressure stays good after the Oberg and the cooler. Mitchy wins

I can't guarantee those Fuch rims will make it to Mitchs shop. (if that is the prize)
And I refuse to transport your kid for a day of babysitting!
