Looks like the part number is 191609617A, the drums you bought from Heritage are 200×40 and the ones you need are 230×48.5. If you google the part number there are a few links come up. Hope this helps. If i’m wrong i’m sure Chris or someone will be along shortly to confirm.
On a different note, a fella once told me that mondeo drums fit but need machining on a lathe, cant remember exactly what he said but it was something along them lines.I think it might be the inner arb bushes, it seems they are the only bush not replaced with powerflex, can someone confirm the size of the front arb on a Country? Is it 18mm or 20mm? Cheers folks!
The way they done it on vortex seems ok, that Means a big circlip would replace the wire. I managed to get the wire to come out the way it went in so my endcap is held on the same way as originally. Nice one for the info I’ll have a good read through it.

Should these figures be both in grams or millilitres?? Cheers.
Interesting! I couldn’t find any info on the golf coupling, I did think when doing the job it didn’t look enough but knew not to overfill it. Looks like I’ll have to open this one back up and put some more in. Thanks for the info that’s great!

Yeah I thought you’d say that! [
] I’ll be booking some time off work in the next few weeks so hopefully be able to get that done for you/anyone else. If you watch these vids, this guy opens a coupling off a T3 it has a slightly different way the end cap is held on but it gives you a good idea of the process.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slujJmXoSAo

I think they are in the right order there, I know it’s in German but this is what I watched before doing mine. The only thing I’m a bit worried about is if I’ve put the correct amount of fluid in. I done it the same as the guy in the vid but because his is a different type coupling not sure if the quantity of viscous fluid needed is the same, but my coupling is deffo better than it was before doing the job.

Originally posted by CokkeliHi Ademaxx. How did you open your Viscous coupler with lathe maybe? How did you reseal it?
I placed the coupling into a vice, then removed the metal band that holds the end cap on the coupling. The band is threaded through the slot on the side of the coupling, it’s an internal circlip, at first I wasn’t sure what was holding the end cap on so used a inch drive air gun with a big socket to turn the end cap but you could get away with just using a power bar, that’s when I spotted the band, once you manage to start getting the band to come out of the slot, use a pair of mole grips to hold end of band while tapping them with a hammer, once the band is out the end cap can be removed. There are a couple of seals running around end cap make sure you dont damage these as not sure where to get any. That’s it basically, to re-seal use the same method as removing band, hold with mole grips and tap with hammer. I also put a bit of mastic sealer around edge of end cap just to be sure the seals didn’t fail. Hope this helps you some what, anything else you want to know just ask. I must get my other coupling sorted and put a picture guide up on here for you.
No sorry I’ve had other things going on and as this coupling is a spare I’ve kinda put it on a back burner. Your coupling needs refilling does it?
I think they made them like this Chris so the bolts for the prop are biting on steel rather than the alloy of the VC.
I spoke to Heritage using their online chat function on the website, Josh replied to me saying yes they can get from Germany so don’t know how its changed from Monday. Good luck with your search anyway!
Could you not get Powerflex bushes?

http://www.jimellisaudiparts.com/products/Rubber-isolator/5487921/331505171.htmlJust spoke with VW Heritage they can get them from Germany if you order it.
Hope this helps.Here are the pictures of the insert, the first picture shows what the holes should look like….
This one shows the insert coming out of the hole….
And these are of the insert from all angles……
I hope this helps [
]I don’t know the specs as I gave one of my inserts to a friend who machined one on a lathe, the locking washer is some special part and I ain’t been able to find any info on it. I can take pictures for you of the insert and the locking washer so you can see them. As I said earlier the outer thread is the same as a spark plug so if the insert was removed a spark plug would screw straight in.
