The old hold down clamp and the other side doesn't grab and hold down the battery nice and tight.
Sure, I can figure it out, but someone may have done it a better way. I've already thought about sticking a piece of plywood under it, thanks, but no thanks. So, what was your solution? My + side just reaches with a bit of slack, enough I think, - no problem. Spendy, I got a red top at Costco with tax $184 Canadian bucks, the yellow top and the blue were 209 and 229 bucks + tax. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) It does have both top and side posts, but turned around you can't see the side posts and it clears the rain tray. I might just have to slap the ol' insurance on her tomorrow. We're into nicer weather finally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

QUOTE(GWN7 @ Apr 29 2003, 10:48 AM) Bought a starter from them in Calgary, went to put it in here, turns out it's for a automatic 914. They had 33 of these starters in their system. Only 26 more than cars were built. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Most likly it fits other VW's The 914 starter is the exact same starter as the VW beetle semi-automatic trans starter. Before I bought our 914, I thought I'd never get rid of this thing I have had sitting on my shelf for years. Now that I have a teen, it's nice to know that 'thing' is a NOS 914 starter sitting there on the shelf. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) VW was famous for using anything and everything they already had in stock! |
