I'll get the ball rolling....

Frame head raising- to lower front of a standard beetle

Go ahead and let us know what you would like to see!

1. rear torsion bar adjuster (mounts in the center of the beam)
2. frame head replacement or raising/lowering
3. super beetle suspension installed into a standard
4. aftermarket/upgraded seat install
5. fender widening in steel or fiber
6. roll bar fabrication or install
7. porsche gauge install and calibration
8. automobile rotisserie (I know there are sites out there, but this is supposed to be THE resource)
9. any kind of specialized tool that can be homemade i.e. IRS pivot jig
10. rear stress bars

The requested article can only be written by people that actually did the mods or by submitting links to other articles on the net.

A rear stress bar setup article will be posted shortly. I am working on it.

As far as the rotisserie goes...either you buy one or you fab your own. I guess you would be interested in knowing how to fab your own. If you look at my member profile you will see my shell sitting in a self made one which I got from a friend. It is a round steel pipe with welded brackets to mount it to the heater channel.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that in your pictures before you pointed it out. How was the tubing bent into that big hoop? That looks to be a great way to build one, but I would not know how to do this part. Could you have your friend write an article? (unless you know how it was done, of course)

BTW, here's another request:

hydraulic clutch install

Well he does not know either because he got it from someone he knows so he can not help. Maybe he can ask teh guy.
I can have a closer look at it and take some detailed pics and forward it to you.

But with the hydraulic clutch install I can help. I am doing this fairly soon and an article for it is already planned.

Alex

Pictures of that would be great, and more details of the build process would be be even better.

Alex,

Get off your A$$ and submit those articles !! :D

Just kidding....

Hydraulic clutch
Hydraulic throttle

Both are something I am planning on doing... So I may be able to knock an article up sometime (not planned to do in the immediate future though....).

I can write an article on doing the IRS conversion because I'm doing it soon. I've lined up all the parts except a 1600 gearbox, watch this space!
