Its just a plastic liner they used to protect the rim of the wheel while being shipped. The others have been put aside for the photo. They are 100% cherry virgins!

They were originally owned by a guy that had a print shop back east; then they made there way to Orange County. Then they went overseas and now they are in my collection. The End.

I wonder if they were the ones dee berg sold for 15k because those went overseas, you could run them but on a set of wheels like that the difference between nos and used could be as much as 5k...

Built gearbox ready for more Hp and in the meantime easier shifting and less noise with the tuned 36hp than the old split case!  |

I got 2 of those very rare Empi / Lee Eliminators 1971 poster announcing when Inch Pincher and The Race Central bus were in town.
I framed one, and will probably sell the other one.

They hold two adjacent panels together during mock-up and before tacking. The flat part that goes through the middle of the square block also goes between the two panels.
Richard, I now finally have some Type III backing plates, yay! Could you please put up a link or PM as to where you got your brake spring kit?

That's the one. 1302/3/superbeetle front. However check before you order as some have one long spring for the bottom rather than 2 short. Richard |

Yes sorry. Your kit looks perfect. The first one I got (clearly not from you) didn't have the springs I wanted.
