Thanks for the tip Hank. I've got a few tools coming my way.  Manfred is really great to deal with. Reasonable on how much he was asking for too. Dave |

Christmas has come a little bit early this year. Just got a bunch of VW tools I bought from Manfred in the mail today.  Now just have to figure how to use them ;D Karma for Hank for connecting us with Manfred. Dave

Hi Ya Gang,
It looks like we cleaned out all of Manfred's air cooled tool collection.
He wanted to thank everybody for buying what they did.
happy trails

Manfred was super to deal with! I recieved my 70+lb of tools and manuals yesterday. Unbelievable packaging!
Here's my list:
Oilcooler wrench (VW109)
Circlip plier (VW161a)
Circlip plier (VW122b)
Flywheel stop (VW307)
Puller with 3 sets of arms (VW202)
Drift kingpin bushing (VW131t)
Adj. reamer (18 to21mm)
Adj. reamer (21 to 24.5mm)
Solid reamer (24mm)
Set of (1968 Provisional manuals)
Set of (Factory work shop manuals)
The drift and reamer set will get used right away to change up the swing lever pin and bushings on the kombi. Man, it's going to make that job easier!
Thanks to Manfred for everything and Thanks to Hank for the heads up!
Chris
