Hi, what year is this specific bug you’re wiring?

@@FixinBugsNStuff Awesome, I have a 1963 beetle and recently purchased the WW complete wiring as well and most of it looks very similar to yours. Mine is still 6v and also have the conversion kit to 12v so hopefully you make a 6v to 12v video in the future as I think you were very thorough and detailed in our video. Thanks again and subbed to your channel

@FixinBugsNStuff Жыл бұрын

@@justdiyit9683 the wiring I showed is for a 12v setup. The 66 did have a 6v system, but the wiring was too old to use. So I ordered the WW wiring for the 6v setup. The gauge of wire is what matters concerning amperage. The good part is, upgrading to 12v doesn’t change anything. Except, flasher relay, wiper motor, starter, ignition coil, generator, flywheel and all lightbulbs. If you have already done this than you are in good shape. I believe I have a video showing how to change the armature for the wiper.

Wanted to say thank you, I draw a blank when it comes to electrical but you gave the motivation to remove my wires, by the harness and start the installation. Appreciate the video, thanks again. Great job.

Dude.... life saver. Doing a full restore on a 69 for my wife. First full restore ever, and my experience is lacking in electrical. These videos you made are beyond helpful and I can't thank you enough. The bug came stripped for paint with no electrical components on it. Was pausing the video to get my list going for parts. When it's finally time to wire it up(chassis is currently off body and it'll be a while before it gets painted), I'll be referencing these videos. Thanks again, dude.

I always take pictures when I dismantle stuff like this,now, but I did not 6 or so years ago when I totally dismantled this 69 I’m totally restoring. Finally got the paint done and started on the total new wiring harness and sorta forget where the harness was routed etc.. Thank You so much , this helped Me a lot! Mine is a convertible and a bit different, but Got Me on track. Thanks again.

Nice job on the video. It's hard to believe that over 7400 views you only have 220 likes. I been dreading replacing the wiring in my 67 but this video makes it look easy. Thanks for the Key Moments list it makes it easy to follow. I'm converting my generator to an alternator, will this kit work with it also? Last question. Are all the boots you used readily available online?
