DIY on Super Beetle



Probably it must be quite right to have selected VW 1302 Super Beetle with only 30,000km running after production 48 years ago, as my life work 1/1 toy. World wide long run production automobile means the benefit to obtain replacement part relatively easily.
Now I wanna ask to myself:
*Possible to disassemble and re-assemble the German car?
Yes, I'm trained already by Opel B-Vectra, special sized tools are prepared,11,13,15,16,18 and 5/8.
*Replacement parts are available on the model 48 years ago?
Completely yes, from Web site and FLAT 4.
*Do I know the necessity to grease on folk, release bearing and spline slider?
Yes, I'll apply lubricant on all the moving part.
*Valve clearance?
Already informed,IN 0,15 and EX 0,15.
*Distributer?
Adjusting on adequate Dwell angle, strobo is required, and possible to put it on sweetest position including centrifugal and vaccum advance.
*Carburator adjusting?
Basically yes, because I've trained on WEBER side draft 40 DCOM carb equipped on PEUGEOT 205 Rallye model. Starting the adjustment, 2 mixture screws releasing twice. I've no anxiety on adjustment.
*Setting axle compliance?
Yes, experiences on 7 autos could make it possible. Rear axle trailing arm bush constructions are not understood yet, but actual disassembling will solve the problems.
*Wheel alignment and axle construction geometry establishment?
DIY special tools already mentioned would play good parts in scaling and adjusting.
It would take time to complete a new comming Super Beetle, I'll do that as to satisfy myself on earth.

What'll the first task when 48 years lady, Super Beetle in 1972, would come to me on next Thursday?
Brake master cylinder must be removed first and be disassembled throughly to clean up, mainly removing circular vanish impurity inside.
Next 4 wheel cylinders would be processed as same manner as master cylinder.
In case of patency on inner surface of cylinder at any portion, all of 5 cylinder would be replaced into new parts with no argument.
After establishing brake system, fuel line checking and carburator adjustment would be performed.
Tires would be ordered after that, 165/70-15 Bridgestone Sneaker brand with 612mm radius.
Exhaust gas check and ignition timing require special tool equipped in NETZ TOYOTA, negotiation may be necessary in very near future before having Legal Inspection Checking at Land Transporting Office in Kobe.
After finishing legal processing precise adjustments on axle construction geometry and wheel alignment would be performed to satisfy myself with taking enough time period.
