If I need to fabricate any parts, I have a machine shop at my disposal at work, and the machinist is a former VW mechanic. I have the complete column in my parts car, so I should have all the parts needed. BUT, it has a bad electrical portion in the ignition switch. I guess I will get that part on order from RMMW. I also see, in their newest catalog, that they have a solid state voltage drop for the wipers if you want to convert to 12V which I am planning on doing. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (not running yet) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
