The upper tins are all there. The lower tins are the typical chrome, square tins that bolt on to the exhaust headers and look like they are more for protecting the cylinders from rocks, but there is an air deflector pinned in between the cylinders on the bottom to route air to along the lower fins. I'm reading that type 3 cooling tins may help too. I think I may run it like it is with a baja style and see what the temps look like with the remote cooler and make changes as necessary.

 ;D ;D ;D You'll be glad you did. I have to add one to mine when I get the time.  Unique way of mounting it.

I didn't want to buy two so this option kept the cost down. Another consideration is keeping it out of the elements as much as possible. NM sun is brutal! On the safety side of things, I didn't like the idea of mounting them on top and having them possibly come in and hit me or my passenger in the event of a roll over (which I hope to never do again). I did order some Supra 20" struts to stabilize better in the rough stuff.

It looks low in the pics, but it doesn't block my vision at all.

Got a little time in the garage today and worked on my electrical box. I went with a humidor.

First the mount.


These will be replaced with Nyloc nuts.


I made a stand off to keep the components off the bottom in case it ever gets submerged and water gets in through the bottom.


I like this location for ease of access. I mounted the box off center of the plate to keep from crowding my foot at the throttle.

36HP style shroud without heater vents. I still put a mesh box in where the oil cooler is supposed to be. Keeps the airflow balanced.

OE cylinder tins!!!!! None of the aftermarket ones have the deflectors in them. Makes for very un even airflow around the head. "Cool tins" bottom tins help even out the flow on the bottom side and will keep your cylinders round. Also need the flat deflector that snaps in the bottom side of the heads.

Welded fan!!!!!!!!!!

Stock tins.....



Someone was making aftermarket deflectors that you could weld into shitty tins, Can't remember who though.

Damn ,those pics bring back memories of a lot of days in the VW dealership engine room. Yep,original tins are designed correctly. Those original straight slot screws................................ 5:

Getting paid $200 plus shipping to fab a light bar (no lights) for another rail after someone on a different board saw mine. That's pretty cool!

Z Germans put a lot of time and effort into designing the cooling system, Aftermarket parts, not so much on the engineering.

I built My last VtroubleU motor using the above combo. All 4 cylinders were within 5% of each other on airflow when checked at the bottom tin opening.

2110 with 9.5-1 and a 110 cam. No pinging even pushing around the heavier glass car.

Funny thing is, over the past 30 years or so, I have yet to see a set of heater flaps in a shroud. First thing everybody ditched in Kalifornia........

I got my carb rebuild kit from Dune Buggy Warehouse today. Hard to believe they actually shipped it like this, but as you can see the gaskets were destroyed. What a waste of time! I would avoid this seller if you order parts from amazon. I absolutely love amazon and I have no doubt this will be cleared up, but the time is wasted by this seller.

It was shipped in a USPS envelope along with the air cleaner, which was removed from its package so it could fit.


Really, this is their idea of shipping something so fragile?

Seller responded and is replacing the kit, ensures it will be packaged properly, and issuing a full refund so all that is wasted now is time.
