[SEL] OT - thanks to list for VW bolts etc.

[Bill Dickerson]

Off topic, but once again the list has come through, at least in part.
I now have all 4 wheels on the VW bunny held on with the 4 bolts the factory
engineers intended thanks to a list member. It might figure he'd have parts
for such a vehicle as he also appreciates the other small iron such as
Maytags.
Still didn't find a tail light for the beast, but did get a great idea for
"patching" this one from the same list member.
I won't embarrass him by mentioning his name as some might think it sort of
goofy that anyone would hang on to the old VWs............ And appreciate
Maytags at the same time.

Thanks r.c. aka m.t.

Thanks to another list member for the links to auto parts places - one of
which I used to order new wheel cylinders for the '69 Javelin. And thanks to
all the others for other links and locations. I'm filing for future
reference. Looks like I have the job of fixing up this classic car. Anyone
have the "window brackets" that hold the glass in the left door? These cars
had a design issue where the window glass parted ways with the brackets that
held the glass. In this case, the glass didn't only come out of the bracket,
but the bracket is actually BENT, and it's a "pot metal" sort of piece.

In the old days, used to remove the old tape and adhesive and use new window
glass tape to put the glass back into the bracket - anyone have better ways
or ideas? You clean the glass and the bracket channel, put this "tape" over
the edge of the glass and tap the bracket back into place. This special tape
is supposed to hold it together, but doesn't always. How do others do it?
Any auto glass people here on list?

I'm considering talking my brother into selling me the car - I'll post pics
soon.
