Hi All
Have just come across a rather strange and I
believe rare VW machine.
Despite this being a T3 forum ,I thought that
someone (Hart?) may be
interested in a 'T4 Razor Back'
. It is FOR SALE
For those that dont know it, the whole rear
section between the independent axles of the rear tray has been cut away and
replaced with a seperate floor that can be lowered to the ground , loaded and
then raised again all by hydraulic rams.
The owner used it for transporting his Harley.
Last week my syncro had a seniors moment, when
my brake pedal hit the floor with no warning at a traffic light. Quick
pumping prevented total disaster,but a chat with my mechanic resulted in "What
do you expect after 20 years of abuse? I spent last Saturday putting
in a new master cylinder ( Brax $100 ) with wheel cylinders next on the
list.
This is a warning for anyone that hasnt replaced
theirs.
On the issue of ignition switches.Ken carries a
spare but wants to know how to put it in.
With the help of Bentleys I found that in an
emergency you dont actualy need to permanently instal the switch.
Just carry out the following.
1 Carry a spare ignition switch. $25
2 Remove plastic cover (2 screws) around around
steering column
3 Pull electrical plug out from back
of ignition switch
4 Push same plug into back of new ignition
switch.
5 Use key or screwdriver to operate new switch and
leave it hanging or tape it up to column.
To permanently instal switch you need a steering
wheel puller and a few more fancy tools.
Cheers Graham
