Just got these goodies this week. Saw this vdm steering wheel on our samba in need of some serious love so I made an offer and got it the other day and my brotha from another mother “EL RYAN” from San Bernardino posted this brand new repro cogwheel hubcap set so  picked them up too.

I got a very suspiciously large and heavy box of Zotz...


Logged

14.877 @ 88.85 mph

My car is what it is, maybe not Cal Look per the books, but it's more than most.

Update: As packing material for my Zotz, Gene Berg sent me a crank pulley, a breather box, all related hardware, and this lovely shifter!





I'm not 100% sold on the round knob, but I don't dislike it either, the 14" height is so much better for my driving position than my old 12" shifter so I'd say it's a win.

Advice needed.
I'm trying to buy a VW part from a seller in Denmark. The cost to ship it seems insanely high to me.

Specs: 30 x 28 x 8cm, 1.5kg. Sending from Tønder 6270 Denmark to 98281 USA. The seller is saying it costs $73USD.
Can anyone comment on this? Does anyone know cheaper/slower methods?
Or do I just have to suck it up and pay the price?

To ship a similar size parcel from US to Finland, where I live, and is very close to Denmark cost about the same. So I don’t think he is fooling you.
