We replace the stock Fan Shroud with the newer Dog House style. This is a great upgrade! ‪@midwaygarage‬

3:40 shows the “Hoover tin” , usually thrown away. “Hoover tin”? Whaaaa? And , a wider fan is of course required for the doghouse style to work properly. Just trying to help.

Thanks for the comment! One of the many things not shown in the video is me putting the larger fan on. I did it after this video was shot, so it didn't make the cut in the final video. Always good advice.

Fasteners are designated by their diameter, not socket size that fits them. So those "10 mil" bolts ate technically M6, and require a 10mm hex socket to turn. Thanks for taking the time to produce the vid.👍

Even better: remote cooler in line with a full flow system.

Wing nut works great. 30 bucks for that is kinda high.

67 had swing axle with the straight clutch arm. We change those all the time to the straight one and it doesnt hurt anything. Also when it it is the bent arm Once it is tensioned it wont interfere. Just a little hard to get the wing nut started. You will want the wing nut on there at some point . believe me. On clutch cables most of the problems happen in the tunnel behind the pedal assembly. That is where the most stress is. Sometimes in the back because people dont counter hold the clutch cable with vice grips or a 7mm wrench properly. Usually I use vice grips because with 1 hand I can hold them and spin the wing nut. With the Bolt style you cant hold both so it is easier to fray the cable.

That is the wrong master cylinder for when you remount the body. That one is made for a dune buggy; the proper master cylinder will have two lines stretching to the trunk to a tank to check the fluid level and keep it full.

That would be for a newer model. I want to clarify for those looking at this in future. This MC and reservoir was recommended by a lot of folks, you can see here on Chris' Classic VW channel kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7GJh5qk252Yfas.htmlsi=Dh8MlbQqo8bEXFhw&t=186 and this is the recommended Master Cylinder/reservoir from the manufacture of the disc brake kit as well www.cbperformance.com/product-p/113-611-015bdd.htm and www.cbperformance.com/product-p/product-p/6085.htm

Make sure you have all 9 shims in between the pully on the belt.....All 9 shims need to be in there or it will crack the pully. Some on 1 side some on the other side. But you need to have a total of 9......
