Good to know! Thanks!

Chris, one more question. I’d like rear vr6 control arms but I have only found 1 set on german eBay for 400 euros. Is that a decent price? I know they must be rare.

Haha if I get stuck in the desert here then you should probably take my car from me!

Thanks for the help Chris, I don’t think I’m going to mess with it for now.

[Richard James]

Okay thanks! I don’t think I’m going to wire/plumb it in as I’m in the desert and it wouldn’t see snow. My understanding is that it only deals with reverse and slippage.

Thoughts?

I have it all finished and seems to be working properly I would suggest a higher viscosity silicone. Ebay uk has a company that sells the silicone and most of the seals for our cars as the kit is for the t4 syncro. The proper weight I believe is 340.000? He has it and that is what is suggested according to a technical bulletin posted on vortex somewhere.

[Richard James]

If anyone needs help or an idea how it all works definitely ask. I can’t say for sure it helped but my fluid was very dirty and it was leaking.

[Richard James]

Chris, you were right, my machinist showed me how it was done. It was a very cool design.

[Richard James]

I have a hard time believing that it will be reusable once out and not completely rusted. I will take a look at it when I remove it and see if I can reuse it.

[Richard James]

I will be following that link and cutting the lid to use a big circlip. I will update once it’s finished and hopefully functioning.

[Richard James]

I had saw that. I guess I just don’t understand that concept how a wire holds it on. I will have to look into that. Are you guys able to get your hands on seals over there for it?

This is where I have been getting all of my info:

From what I’ve read the vanagon units are rebuildable as they have a big snap ring. I read you have to machine the case off with a lathe for our cars? I’ll have to check the fill plugs to be sure it’s not that

[Richard James]

I have the 4 cylinder bracket just seeing if you can get your hands on one. If you could check after Christmas I’d very much appreciate it.

Merry Christmas!

[Richard James]

Hi Chris,

Anyway you could source a bracket for me as I’m in the USA and cannot seem to find anything near this. I don’t want to make something if I don’t have too.

The car is going to be planning on putting down a lot of power so I absolutely need this.

Thanks!
