    Nice work. I noticed you only put a single washer on the pivots .

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We put one inboard and one outboard for the perfect fit.

    Great Clean install guys, Just came across your video and subscribed to your channel . I am starting a complete body off restoration on a 62 convertible bug and was wondering if I have a question or two if you wouldn't mind me asking, If so could I get a email from you??. If you don't have the time I totally understand .Keep up with the videos

    Did you know about that "anomaly " like the rear left wheel to touch the fendet top lip while the rear right to be ok? It happened to my '71 KG after I bolted back the body onto the frame.

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  ปีที่แล้ว

      It could be anything but the body can move left to right as the holes are slotted. None of them are the exact same size as the bolts going through them.

  • @Chris-vs4yz

    Have you ever had an issue with alignment hardware loosening due to powdercoat "squish" ? Serrated washers?
    Nice work. 🙂

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question. The short answer is no. Can it happen depending on the client, the powder coat quality, the prep quality, the thickness of powder coat, the Popeye or Olive Oyl strength, flatness of parts prior to powdercoat.... so many variables. But it can happen for sure.

  • @sdfilmfolks

    Is there a part 2? I’d like to see the car to understand what we did there with the cars index that low.

    Good morning pete you are good man i love the videos I have a cuestion a bout torsión bar possicion R-L install bicouse I install on my car but no look even iOS 1|4 in diferente eres bien chingon brother . I call later for price air rear suspension

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      More than likely you are off by some degrees or you will need to measure it under a load.

  • @JamesBrown-126
    @JamesBrown-126 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is that a custom torsion housing with added shock tower ???
    I'm wondering how you would set the tension if you have a custom torsion housing without a shock tower to compress the torsion bar from ???
    Again I'm looking at building a sandrail, so it's not like I have a floorpan or even a torsion housing assembly to begin with

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a tool available to do that job James. Try Pacific Customs for the tool

  • @sonidofestivalshow9996
    @sonidofestivalshow9996 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question: Is the round rubber on the outside larger in diameter

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  ปีที่แล้ว

      everything is different, including the diameter.

  • @huntspert
    @huntspert 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why are parts dipped in amonia prior to powdercoat?

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Brings the part back to original raw state and allows us to visually inspect it for cracks, bends, etc.
