HI guys! Been on the road working a good while, now off for a week or two, so time to start in on the garage warmer! Any thoughts as to how to remove the rear seatback on a 71 FB? This car has a Beetle engine (it runs but leaks like a sieve) I am going to remove this engine this next week and install a new Brazilian cased T3 motor back there with dual Webers. Not sure what kind of Webers (yep...I am a newbie!) but they looked pretty sweet in the box...some assembly required, of course! Anyhow, I need to remove the backseat back to facilitate rewiring. The PO took all the wires loose and left them that way so I have a really good puzzle to solve. I just noticed in the Bently why I couldn't trace any wiring...the colors are in German! Imagine that? Oh, and are modern oils too good for these engines? This engine came to me dry... Maybe someday soon I can actually DRIVE my car... Stephen J. Jackson Commissioning Engineer, Petron Industries, Inc.
