Yeah most likely overkill as I used 3/8 plate for the outside but I wanted to make sure it didn't flex. Yes German overengineering at werk. Thank my grandparents........

I took two rear rotors, and two threaded rods and fashioned a spring compressor for the rear shocks. A washer and a nut at each end, and then a couple of turns on one, then a couple of turns on the other... back and forth between the two threaded rods keeping them moving at a constant rate as to keep the pressure even across the brake rotors.

Heres an engine stand I built for storing and running our 356 engines. Would also work for vw engines, just change the starter if its 12Volt. There is a Harley oil tank converted for a fuel tank in the differential space of the trans, and where the gear sets would be is the fuel pump and filter. LED lights on top of the trans are for oil pressure and ignition (so as not to leave the key in the on position if not running the engine).

Very nice! The lower frame looks like it may have come from an old engine hoist.

Here's my engine run stand and the starter box. The stand fits into my engine stand and uses a VW bus bell housing and starter. I welded up an aluminum 1 gallon fuel tank that's plumbed through an electric pump and pressure regulator.


(IMG:http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/408348.jpg)
(IMG:http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/408347.jpg)

The starter box just has a oil pressure light and ignition switch and start button. I added a friction throttle so I can hold the RPM I want w/o standing in one place during break-ins. I need to have a mobile box that allows me to cut power and move with me during break-ins as I check for leaks and such because I work alone at my shop. I'd like to re-do it some day and add oil pressure, tach and a CHT gauges.

I've got several custom jigs and fixtures, but as far as tools go this is the cheapest, most used, and get the most comfort level from knowing the car won't readily slip off the jackstands.

Here's my transaxle driveshaft holder tool. Keeps the drive shaft from turning so that you can loosen the castle nut without having to engage two gears at once. Scrap metal, JB Weld, and the serrated inner piece from an old clutch disk. (picture was taken on an empty case, no driveshaft on this one.)

Replaces Porsche tool #P37.

Haven't ever used it, but someday...

Here is one that I made after having to remove the rear brake calipers and reset the venting clearance about a dozen times. It is just an old flea market wrench and socket welded together so it is easy to hold the ouside adjuster allen bolt while tightening the 13mm nut. I use my ratchet with the allen socket but I have also used a regular "L" shaped allen wrench also.

There is probably a way the pros use but I came up with this.

Wanna check backlash on the R&P of your 901? Hold the crank when installing rods?
