<x-charset iso-8859-1>Just remembered, that I heard of lazy folks just bending the right connection rod to adjust the length slightly. This might account for the sighting of sagged rods. I can't imaging enough heat to cause those rods to sag. With that much heat, the fuel in the fuel lines would vaporize and cause weird running, (the fuel line vapor lock problem previously discussed). With both ends right handed threads, it would be a major pain to adjust, unless one end could be made to be easily removed. Lift up the rosejoint, rotate on the rod and place back down on the bolt. Could be done, but it would be hard to do while running at high idle. Jeff '67 Sqbk -----Original Message----- Used rosejoints I bought in a modelshop. Quite expensive: 8.5 dollars each. As for the added wheight: I just wanted to use them on top. I actually have two set-ups and both have a sagged RIGHT connectionrod. I have seen them schielded with reflecting shrinkhose or chromed to reflect heat. I just wanted to have a more accurate movement of the carburettors. The expensive set-ups use them too. Both sides are righthandthreated. I have to loosen the centernut to make an adjustment. You can use both sides and make small adjustments. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org </x-charset>
