Cormac, nice ride !

The adjustable shocks you use in the rear, how do you adjust them ?
Do you happen to have the product number of them ?

Do you know if they would fit a '70 Standard ?

Thanks,

Rob.

Cormac, when will I get to see your bug? I'd love to meet up some day and compare notes!!
You going to any Irish shows this year?

i would presume they would fit a 70 standard. Is your car an irs or swing axle?
I can try and find the part number for the shicks but i would imagine Koni would know. to adjust them you just have to push the shock together and twist clockwise or anti-clockwise to raise.

ay tis indeedy
Listen i think you might appreciate this. a company in the US is re-developing a turbo that fits air cooled bugs 1600-2500 and can bring between 130-185bhp all under a stock with either stand offs or a little ingenuity. All for just under US$2000.
I am going to start building a tough motor to take the punishment i am going to give it.
What day are you leaving to get to sandown.

We're flying out of Dublin on Saturday morning for Stansted, aiming to be at the show around midday. Fly back on Sunday night. You?
