The two here are spoken for, 1 is Marcus's for his Type 1, the other a type 4 into type 1 for a customer project. As it happens, Deluxe66 (Damo) is
here now too.  He isn't bringing them in anymore and recommends you
contact Jake directly, visit Type 4 Store

Allow 2-3 months minimum Craig. We have two type IV kits on order and Rebecca (from Aircooled Technology) noted they have long delays for their
production unless you are lucky and they have some in stock. I paid for ours around a month ago and I think its still another month or two before
they'll be ready to ship. Rebecca is nice and easy to deal with....just allow a fair bit of time before you can expect to receive one.
Cheers
Al

yes, they build everything with the highest quality and precision. there is a massive (pun indeed!) waiting list.
an engine is typically 13 months+ and set number of orders per year. you miss out? you have to be place your order the following year and then wait
the 13 months on top of that.
Also maybe ask Todd from suby gears as he is partnered with RAT

DTM is good but could be way better. The type 1 DTM has provision for using the othe factory tinware to seal the engine bay but the type 4 DTM does
not, it leaves big air gaps in the sealing tin. My engine bay is always dirty and i am constantly cleaning it. Other than that the DTM is still the
best upright cooling system for type 4 into type 1 conversions.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Out of curiosity. By the looks of a google image search these provide a conduit for air flow to the base of the dog house cooler as well??
If they are so hard to get would it not be easier to cut and weld in new sections into the stock tinware to do the same thing?
Or is there hidden goodness that is lost on me based on those pictures.

The goodness is that each side of the fan housing is central to the cylinders giving more consistant temperatures accross all cylinders

no, its all about fluid dynamics.
DTM design was carried on by Jake long after the original developer died.
The current design has had many years of lab like testing and r & d to get it to this point.
The original designer was a factory German VW technician apparently.

I thought it would be something like that.
All of the posters above don;t seem shy of a welder. Just did not know if it was that simple or not.

The stock tinware can be improved considerably by re-directing the flow of cooling air. I made simple 'butterfly' type vanes for each side of the
fan shroud, that re-directed cooling air over the heads/cylinders.
With a thermocouple silver soldered to a copper a copper washer [under each spark plug], and connected to a chart temp. recorder, we plotted thetemperatures of each cylinder. This was done on a dyno, over the whole rev. range of the engine [40 hp Formula Vee]. No longer did #3 cylinder run
hotter than the others. I've still got those thermocouples somewhere.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

The DTM was developed by Joe Locicero of Oregon Performance with Jake indirectly acquiring the moulds and other relevant machinery, not to mention the
DTM rights which I think now hold a patent. Jakes version is different to the original design for a few reasons not all based on improving the design
which is still among the best cooling system for both style engines. Props to Jake for keeping the manufacturing going.
