Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    From Lynx!

    Lynx Corporation

    They still make them believe it or not! I think I used the one that was in the kit below and modified it a bit by bending it and adding an extra tapped hole for the cable to bolt to.

    I recommend using a nylock on the threaded part of the throttle cable. Anything else winds off.

    Product Details

    Their website isn't the greatest but they're very helpful over the phone and will post the bits out.

    They're a good source of the ram-flow filters and parts if you're looking for those too.

      Hi Pete, thanks. I have this kit, but I thought perhaps I had a different bracket. Did you find the kit well made? I needed to file the half moon shaft hole to fit neatly and the holes on the swivel arms as well. Meccano is better made?

        I don't recall mine being too bad but there's always some fettling with these things.

        Use plenty of loctite on all the nuts and bolts!
