just what i wanted to see today. my alternator is making a strange noise when it sits for a while... i think my bearings are dead!

You should take the fender beading and paint it the same as the body color with a paint compatible with plastic. They came like that stock. I'd paint it all a cream color with red seats, white headliner, Salt and pepper carpeting, and caramel door panels.

Nice job, on the body work. Nice to see you post a video. Did you enjoy your trip overseas?

Now you’re a colluder…..😂 Refreshing to see your videos again!

Is it safe to use an electric saw?

should all generators have that wavy washer inside? i took mine apart and didn't see it at all? i have a 1960 as well

Too much time explaining something so simple and out of the subject talk.

this stuff is just fantastic...

"At at at....train." 😆 Great video, man. Thank you for the excellent and detailed explainations.

I like the idea, but your hole isn't offset, it's at almost a 5 degree angle crooked. Also why the hell would you grind the head off the a steel bolt while it's flush in a magnesium case? Even if you don't turn your case into a giant road flare, you're risking nicking it with the hand held grinder, which you did. Just mark ithe bolt with some masking tape or paint and cut it in a vice far away from the extremely soft and flammable magnesium case. Or hold it with your bare fingers when cutting with the current level of safety concern.

I like your approach to things and problem solving.

It is already starting to take shape and look better. I am catching up and binge watching all your new videos since your return. I watched all of your original old videos on the blue beetle etc prior to you taking a break. I really enjoy watching them, glad that you are back making some more.

It is really nice of you to help Leon out.

I am so glad you are back I used to enjoy watching your videos. Will it run sure, will it stop no, well only when it runs out of fuel. 😁

You were pretty confident on the way to see what the problem is

Can you pull it with a car?

Thanks for the run down on this. My 12v generator on my 68 works well but is noisy as all hell. Ill use this as a guide when i pull mine apart!

Is there spark

I hope you're doing well. I saw the news. The tornado went through your state.

Your commentary on how hard it is to work on Seadoo skis is killing me!

I put grease in mine, worked well but all the grease got squeezed out after a day or two. Any advice for this?

Did VW know that this component would last so many years. Mine, the original is still on the vehicle.

You talk to much

Didn’t you have another channel that you quit in a video?

Probably not a good idea to put grease on the oil-lite bushing in the end of the starter, oil, yes but the grease will plug up the oil absorbing qualities of the bushing and make it wear out much faster, Just use oil. Type 3 transaxles are the same as Type 1's, it's the semiautomatic transaxle beetle starters that can be tested out of the car.

You want to add or remove shims to get a 2mm gap between the fan and the mounting plate. It should not rub.

Hey Dan ! my original 12v starter silly noid went out .

I fix everything I can like this to save money. Electric window car or truck motors quit working and can be reworked as well but make sure to put silicone grease on the electrical plug connectors which can also stop these from working.

Nice job.

👍

Those are the worst shocks you can put on the front end of a VW, but no rust, that's good. I wonder how the needle bearings are ?

Thats a great video set you did. Thank you!

Use some sta-bil fuel stabilizer along with some sea foam per directions and you'll be surprised at how well it runs. Not to mention unclogging your fuel system. Change the fuel filter also. Otherwise, good luck on the bug's.

Amazing deal! :)

Cool, looking forward to this one

The second beam looks like it still has the original upper ball joints. The original ball joints were setup to use grease fittings. Just remove the plastic caps and add metric fittings.

You were lucky to find a normal beam and not one of those narrowed numbers. Many cars look so stupid with the front wheels so tucked in; they look like tricycles. An idea: put some Zerk fittings on the shock towers and pump them full of grease to prevent corrosion.

Nice job Dan, you should put the nut on the end of the belt pulley with the tools that you carry in your tool roll. If the belt should break and your on the road, you'll be able to change it.

Hey Dan ! shocking

Nice job. If you have a few spares (67 only) generators. You could sell some, to raise funds for your projects.

You say a “quickie” but you always do things right, dear sir. 👍

Most D.C. generator systems fail because people don't know to polarize the system.

great tip! I could have saved a bunch of old pulleys!

cool, looking forward to watching this one. You were not kidding on needing the crank gear removal tool. I got it and removed the gears today. Wow even with WD-40 sprayed on those were really one there. My impact was put to the test.

The pullies on those generators were the first generation ones. VW change the design in 71 or 72. The small tabs were known to break off and the engine would overheat. I don't know if it happen because it wasn't torque down correctly or just wear over time.

It’s great to reuse and repair the OEM stuff. Bosch stuff is almost unobtanium nowadays. The quality of Chinesium replacement parts nowadays is not good.

I had an old Explorer from 1996 and those power window units would break quite often; there’s repair kits for them. Train, train….remember the Blackfoot song? 🤣😂

my neighbour who worked with power tools etc used to put the part you used emery paper on in a drill press or a drill in a vice and then used a fine file to clean and level it out while it was turning. I never seen him ruin one all the time he was alive. Sure miss him and all his little tricks

Nice Job. Good for another 10 years or more of service.

Have you gone inside the gas station, that you mention in the video?
