Windage Pushrod tubes for a 1200 ??

So does anybody sell windage pushrod tubes for a 1200 motor ?

Do the fvee people use them ???

If anyone knows where I can get them please let me know asap 😎

Cheers

Add a bit to the inner ends. There isn't much deflection in the push-rod there, so a slight reduction in inside diameter should be OK. Welding may be tricky, but silver soldering a sleeve inside should be fine.

Cheers Greg.

I was thinking of cutting the ends off a 1600 windage tube and putting that in first, then pushing the standard tube inside.........................but would love to just buy some 😂

Just cut some short lengths,(1" long?) of thin tube,
and flare the ends with a socket, so they don't fall in.
Or have some made from aluminium.
Then the normal tube and seal will fit straight over them.(holding them in place)

I am sure I have seen some pics in an old book.
Have a look through perhaps How to Hotrod VW Engines....or there was another book like that.

USA aftermarket brands for 356/912 are available (ex USA) at half reasonable pricing...claims that they are genuine Porsche>>>>?

I'd advise to install with split facing upwards and a line of silicon along the split...just in case.

Measurement at the outers of the concertina is ~170mm.

VW originals fit 356s so, assume that it works both ways.

Ah perfect.....a big thanks 👍

Use pieces of old tubes for the extensions as Dave has suggested

Hi Matt, Ive done that in the past but I was just wanting to know if there was an "off the shelf" option.

These?
