Just scored this on EBAY NOS 6/69 empi stock steering wheel sold  thru empi with the correct part# on box ... when empi would take a new beetle to convert them to GTV's they would remove the stock wheel and sell them packed in their own boxes.  VERY RARE  BRO's

Yes, I saw it yesterday.

He did inspire lot's of us.

God speed Dave.

Quite a sad day. Dave has left us. Condolences to Family, friends and loved ones.

I found it fitting to post it here, as he was part of this community. a lot of people, like me included, have been inspired by his car and engine builds. RIP Dave.

This is a set of very nice 4 lug centerline rims  1 pair 15x4  & a pair 15x5.5's straight and true the fronts are clean and in original
Condition the rears are nice but both have one blemiish each please check pics as they are small and not very noticeable comes with correct lugs and washers for front and rear and center caps ... i do not have the 14mm studs just what you see in pics all 4 rims hold air without inner tubes but personally I would  use inner tubes

Double update tonight, with the dollar falling against the pound and having an eye for a bargain, i spotted that CB Performance had reduced the price of their Geers Engineering fettled 51.5 IDAs, a quick call to Richie to ask if they would do the job on the new engine and a set was ordered and heading over the Atlantic. Daniel got the job of fitting the trumpets, his nimble fingers perfect for the small screws. I had to tie a board to his arse to stop him falling into them as they are massive. Anyway thats another bit ticked off the list.

thanks for posting, i'm sure that he will out do me, i hope he does.

Well this update goes show that not everything goes according to plan. I love the machined turns parts that are on the Ragtop, but one area we thought we could change to match the dash board and seat carbon pieces was the door sill trims. We also thought that it would be nice to see what we could make ourselves rather than buying off the shelf parts.

So i started by whipping the fast fab trim pieces off my 67 and using them to make a mould. One area on contention is that they have a chequer pattern on them which might not look good through the gel coat. Anyway we put that thought to one side and about some kits from easy composites, and set to work. After waxing the trim piece, mixing up the resin for the mould we set to work. It took a day of messing around, and 24 hours later we excitedly popped the trim out the mould hoping to have some to use. Unfortuantely as you will see in pics below it didn't go according to plan. Some bits of the mould cracked away, maybe we didn't put enough wax release agent on. So we will try again later in the year, if i can find a good quality trim set with no pattern on them that might be better.
