paul im pretty sure Mick motors (a sponsor of the forum) sells everything u want for your 1300 and most things u want for the 1500.

they are based in brissy and are reasonably priced.

order on monday and get it all tuesday morning.

Thanks Anthiron. I'd already tried Mick Motors (on Friday) and not everything was available. For example, the mains bearings were not (although they did suggest cutting a thrust to suit), they do not have a set of 1500 B&Ps and couldn't say when they'd have in stock a 3 rivet oil pump with filter attachment. Neither do they have stainless tailpipes in stock. Last pair sold last Thursday. I forgot to enquire about the cyl. heads. So I thought I'd try here for some of the bits.

So, can anyone help?

Paul.

PS I also forgot to ask about the crankshaft gear puller. Does MM stock these?

U2U sent

Hi,
I think possibly, You won't picl All these items up at the one VW shop...
When restoring My Beetle, I bought parts from about 12 different VW parts suppliers. from different states.
including some importers...

I thought I saw some New 1500 heads for sale in an add.
not sure where.... they are pretty rare...
most engines, including My H engine are now 1600 single port engines.

I have also bought many parts from Mick Motors too...

best of Luck
Lee

1964_Notch - Thanks for that. I'd send you a U2U but I haven't posted the mandatory 5 posts yet so can't. I'll bear what you're offering in mind.

68AutoBug - Thanks for the follow-up message to your own message. Good advice. I've replied directly to you.

Paul.

Will settle for late style 'secondhand' oil cooler...
