Title: Adjustable Decklid Standoffs?
Post by: cal-look.net on July 26, 2007, 08:13:40 am
I found this post : http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=470.0 (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=470.0) ages ago, but the link to the goods doesn't work!

Are the adjustable standoffs still available? anyone got any pics/details?

Sounds like a great compromise, I havn't driven my bug since Bug In thanks to the monsoons we are having in the UK! having the option to close the decklid would be ideal!


I find my motor runs way stronger, and cooler with standoffs, but it would be awesome to be able to close them at will, and even just have a smaller gap!


Cheers,

Steve

they're great. perfect function, flawless finish. swiss quality :) I used to have them on my 60 sedan.

PS: they're only "adjustable" in two ways: open or closed decklid

Hi. I got a set. What a pain in the as to fit.  :(

I am not sure which was worse, working out how to fit them with a poor set of pictures and swiss instructions or the soothsayers telling me they would not work.  ;D :P

In the end we found they do fit. When in the "stood off" position I have to apply a finger tip of pressure to make sure the top of thelid does not catch when I open adn close it. Other than that they are fine.

PM if you want my details to talk through, apart from the cost, they are a great piece of kit and I would not run without them.
