Re: My '86 GTI build
for the speedometer, I welded a nut onto the "washer" for the driveshaft bolts and then threaded something in to give a signal to my data collection system. I can send a picture if you want. We used the rear mount location to fab up a sensor holder (don't have a picture of that, long ago b...

Re: Sizing of brake lines on revised system
My biggest problem has always been sizing the masters, I think you will find that have the same front and rear will max out your adjustment and give you too much rear brake. I don't remember which sizes I ended up with on my car. the only difference is I was still running drums on the rear.

Re: VW help for a friend
I had to change my oil pan on my MK4 TDI 3 times from it hitting the ground on VT roads. The pan will hit the ground if the suspension is bottomed out. I bought a European stock skid plate and never broke another one and it had a cool side benefit of throwing sparks.

Re: 13 x 8 wheels 4x100 pattern
I have some 13X10 Jongbloed wheels. I would need 1500 for them though. As far as I can tell they have never been mounted. my 13 x 8.5 panasports need repair but I am not sure I want to sell those.

Re: Simpson 15 minutes can save your life
hmmm, I had 6 point belts but broke my sternum and bruised my male organs in my crash. They didn't mention an angle for the sub belts. I don't think I had mine right and would not like to repeat the same mistakes.
