Grandpa got a brand new bus docporsche356
I just got my 1962 VW Microbus from Greg Hale in Huntington Beach CA. I can't believe how beautiful it is. Everything turned out EXACTLY the way I wanted it. Greg did an awesome job meeting all my special requests. I had him install AC, spin-on oil filter, external auxiliary oil cooler on a 1776 cc engine. Greg is honest, funny, and professional. He's great to work with and is now a friend for life. If you want a GREAT bus see Greg Hale. View other images: From docporsche356 Search Forums for photo

Washer Bottle Button Ronald Eisel
I purchased an original washer bottle from a Samba member with a cracked and hardened rubber button. The bottle cap assembly is of a late style with a knurled ring instead of a notched one. The internal configuration is also quite different. The replacement of the rubber button is accomplished by disassembling the cap entirely. The two 7mm nuts need to be removed and the parts of the cap need to be separated. Then the part with the tubulations is inserted into the opening of the rubber button. Once this has been done the screws are inserted into the larger plastic ring (note that the bases of the tubes are of different diameters) the tubes must be placed into the corresponding holes of the larger ring. The sealing gasket can be replaced with the same ring I described in my earlier posting concerning the sealing washer replacement. Once the parts are together the rubber parts will need to be lubricated with soap so the pieces can rotate when the cap is placed on the threaded portion of the bottle. The tightness of the rubber parts should disappear with use. I found that removing the button assembly and sanding the outer surface of the new sealing washer improved the ability to tighten the attachment ring to the bottle threads.

My sister found this Bus in the woods near her home and sent me this picture.
I asked her to go back for more detailed pics. Looked somewhat picked over, but who knows what is still there? View other images: From rag63 Search Forums for photo
