Brother's 2007 New Beetle

Only 42 years newer...

Inspection ( ~MOT)

No complaints what so ever!

Now it is time for stud tires and vwinter fun:)

Over optimistic VDO

Looks cool, though ;)

New engine installed

Now that the summer is over and the car almost ready drive I have finally time to post. Nothing special in 6V -> 12V conversion (you can easily find details of that in thesamba.com). One tricky issue was to find a correct power resistor for the 6V wiper motor in 12V system. After few tests 2R2 seem to work ok.

Grinding the gear box to accept the bigger 12V flywheel is not a big job - if you have correct tools...
Ended up istalling the oil filter to next to alternator. Planning to make service hatches for the Solexes - maybe I will put the filter inside the fender then.

Next: inspection :(
