... FWIW, no spacer was needed on any of our Rabbits or the Scirocco, as well as Abe's Scirocco (which now sports one of the sets of Welds from the green car)....
I needed a 1/4" spacer on my a2 with Keizers. The wheel center rubbed the caliper. Brad ... From: Iain Mannix To: vwautox@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
Huh... I thot it was normal. The rim just touches on the strut/upright mount. Nope, no crash bolts or crazy camber either. Maybe it's the Reals and Keizers I...

... I'd not call it "mis" info - just different! Wheel centers, calipers, pads, etc - they all conspire. I've got some 5" b-space Reals for my new, topsecret...
I doubt it. A2s were 'buzzy, rattly, clap trap POS's when they were new. Abe ... From: Edward Maglott To: vwautox@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 02,...
My crappy Keizers rub on my calipers unless the brake pads are about shot, which they are. I cut my struts away above the knuckle to avoid such clearance...
Yeah, that was my experience, too. 13x9 5" backspace Reals were perfect in the rear on my '83 GTI, but needed ¼" spacers up front to clear the calipers. My...
5" should be good. FYI, whether or not you need spacers will be determined by the shape of the wheel center. Some wheels don't have enough of an arch in the ...
Thanks all. Interesting you mention the Compomotive's. It's coming down to order time and I'm still torn between trying the CXR's, which are cheaper, and...

anybody ever had a gastank boiled for rust issues & resealed? costs? size of tank? the one in question is a 10"x10"x30" kit car tank that had a fuel sender ...
Yes, several at American Metal Cleaning here in Cincinnati. They did a fantastic job at something I wouldn't try (again) myself. The tank comes back 100% ...
On a simple, old ,carburetor-style gas tank, I would attempt to get it cleaned/resealed. On a later, baffled, complex EFI tank, no way...Junkyard or new. The...
