Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Dez on March 28, 2009, 23:31:56 pm Thanks :) I couldn't get very good shots of the coral red racer or the Blue beast (the back end shot)
Here's some more pics of the engine work gone into this newbie (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/dez_lynam/Volksworld%202009/DSC_0078.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/dez_lynam/Volksworld%202009/DSC_0080.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/dez_lynam/Volksworld%202009/DSC_0076.jpg) Oh and one of the real Herbie's (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/dez_lynam/Volksworld%202009/DSC_0105.jpg) Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics...

Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Dez on March 28, 2009, 23:59:00 pm I think Dyno Pincher was one?
Flat 4 have produced a cast for the BRM which is a pretty much exact cast of the original BRM of which the first ever produced was shipped from Tokyo for the VW show but never managed to get a picture of it!

Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Rennsurfer on March 29, 2009, 06:24:46 am This is the one car that caught my attention... any more pics of it? If not, what kind of wheels were on it? From what I can see in this pic, it looks GREAT.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/dez_lynam/Volksworld%202009/DSC_0073.jpg) Also... hate to ask a silly question, but judging from that BRM wheel pic, there's not much (if any) detectable differences from the old Flat Four BRM casting. What makes those new ones different? Do they have the casted in letters near the valve stem, like the earlier ones? Or are the dimensions is what sets them apart? Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics...

What makes those new ones different? Hi Fred, to me it looks like the smooth spokes have been changed to the rough finnish of the genuine BRM. Maybe even the 5 casting circles are there too. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/deanovw/brm-closeup.jpg) thanks for the pics Dez. Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Wünderwolff on March 29, 2009, 08:43:45 am The casting circles are there indeed.
Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Dez on March 29, 2009, 10:33:34 am Looking at LuftsickTero's photos they are on polished Fuchs, not sure on size and width though!!

Post by: Sarge on March 29, 2009, 14:15:55 pm I "think" I heard the BRM re-design included changing the lugs to use inserts like the original wheels had. Also, when comparing a Flat4 to an original, the depth of the shinny part of the rim is a little deeper on an original, so maybe that got addressed, too.

Post by: Rennsurfer on March 29, 2009, 16:00:10 pm Thanks for the replies, guys. Regarding the wheels... the only missing elements, like Sarge posted, would be magnesium and charging $10,000 per set. Otherwise, owners of the originals will be a trifle miffed.

Post by: lowfastbus on March 29, 2009, 18:38:57 pm Saw them in real life yesterday, only thing that seems strange about them is they have the same letters cast in as all the repro wheels you see.
Like on the repro fuchs wheels etc... Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics...

Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Bryan67 on March 30, 2009, 01:15:05 am They should have polised edges instead of the usual plain aluminum finish. And hopefully they haven`t raised the price.
Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Sarge on March 30, 2009, 01:33:23 am .... "And hopefully they haven`t raised the price".... Wish in one hand, shit in the other... what do you get first?? ::) ;) Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Wünderwolff on March 31, 2009, 06:38:11 am I was quite surprised to learn that in the price department all is pretty OK. I don't know what the old flat4 are going for these days, but the new ones are very reasonably priced at 250 Euro per Beast. That is the price the Old F4 used to be a few years ago as well.

Otherwise companies will be left with dead stock! :) Title: Re: Volksworld 2009 Pics... Post by: Olaf A./DFL on March 31, 2009, 13:42:30 pm (http://olafalbers.de/albums/volksworldshow/MG_7326.jpg)
