I'm starting to work on my old 67. It's been awhile since I've had time to do anything with it. So, I need some parts.
Nothing major, just some basic stuff like carb rebuild kit, chrome lug bolts & center caps for Empi 5 spokes, new exhaust, etc...
Went to a few local places trying to find the carb kit and they either just stared at me like I was nuts or laughed and said good luck.
Who orders parts from where ? And do they have a website ?

That's John C's place. The good thing about John is that if you write (see the contact page), he will read it and not let you go wrong with your order. John is brief, to the point, not a chatty guy, and always right. Super reliable.
you will find they have good parts at a very good price.

Shop around you will find most parts venders sell the same parts but the prices varies.

And I am on the other side of the globe, where most vendors like to unload their s**te, cause they know you cant do diddley squat about it..

.......Well said Joern.
...I haven't bought any acvw parts for my bug from anyone else since John first went into business several years ago. I don't know where I'd go if Aircooled.Net wasn't available.
Another "me too" post on aircooled.net. John C makes sure that you get the right part and stands behind what he sells. I always check him first.

Recently tried www2.cip1.com - just bought some piddly (grommets, hardware, etc) stuff but it was all in good order and shipping was really fast.
JCWhitney is total junk.
In that case - be sure to explain carfully what you want - maybe draw a picture ;-)

Sorry ... couldn't resist !

Hi James - how you doin ? dont see you posting much. you on VZI or VT ??
Rich
:D I would have taken that same shot on open goal.
Most postings are over on justkampers, as been mostly doing Bus stuff over the last 6 months or so. Occasional visit to VZi where I manage to get Speedy Jim to answer a axel bearing issue !
Off to vanfest this weekend. you going ?
James
I never think to go on justkampers !
Not going to Vanfest - just come back from a week in woolacombe where I managed to spend out ! Loads of nice vans there , all with surf boards on top - almost like they are nothing special ! but us V-dub nuts know different . There was us in the American Econoline Day Van (more room for the kids). I did wish I went in my bay so I could join in !

Wow, something that uses more fuel than the bus. Nearly bought a dodge ram the other year, but it wouldn't fit anywhere.
For all you lot over there, this place is small, so are the streets. Up until a couple of years ago, day vans were huge. Now all the Jap pickups are everywhere clogging up the streets.
having spend 6 months getting bus roadworthy, its being used as much as poss.
Its just had two arches and steps, loads of outriggers & jacking points, drivers side sills, all three, plus some floor. I have a pile of rust & filler & concrete & goodness knows what else in my back yard . Backend will wait until next year, in the meantime, two coats of rustoleum has it a bit more acceptable.
