Today I took off the rear big black bumper of my '75; I don't want to backdate the bumper , but I want to lighten it. I could put a lot of holes in it but this is gonna take a lot of time. Some time ago I saw a very light insert here on the forum made of tubes welded together , but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know who makes them?

The front bumper will be easier to lighten up, since as far as I know it doesn't have that many layers.

Is that rubber to seal that oil pressure switch along the tin?

Yep, replaced the seal as well, gotta keep that cooling air in the right places!


thanks for responding! where can we buy the seal?


VW Part number is 021 119 957, may still be available from VW or Porsche. AA lists this part. 914Rubber may also have this.

Epoxy primered the last repairs. Inner wing/battery tray.

Now waiting on some product info to move forward.

I now have some more free time over the next 2 weeks so hopefully i can finish welding and get the car fully primered ready for my sprayer to come and tell me it's good enough for him to take away and paint.

I might get to drive it before the summer blinks past us.

I replaced my 180 rear springs with 140s yesterday.


Can you please tell me ...Is this for ride height or suspension performance (or both) if it does lower it , how much ? Then you adjust the front torsion bars as needed ?
