Bert, Here are the rubber parts. You might also check to see they missed the front axle body bolts/pads. Wolfsburgwest's body bolt kits don't include the shock tower or front axle bolts.
BODY PAD, rear shock tower, 1949-1979 Bug, each, Wolfsburg West reproduction http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=111899119B BODY PAD, under rear seat, 1960-1979 Bug BODY PAD, upper, body to front axle BODY PAD, lower, body to front axle, Oct'52-1979 Russ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bert Knupp Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 9:42 AM To: 'Air-Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List' Subject: [vintagvw] Body bolt replacements Volks, I have just discovered that the shop that replaced my '70's body onto the chassis after painting, etc., neglected to replace two important body bolts. They're the ones directly above the rear axles, visible just inboard of the rear wheels, that connect the chassis dogs with the axle assembly. They look like they should have rubber spacers there (there is the remains of one showing). Who knows what the correct specs are for those two bolts (one on each side)? The holes look like about M10 and the length looks like it should be about 30 mm. What hardness? How thick should the rubber pads be? (I have some good rubber gasketing material I could cut some from). All my catalogs only show body bolts in complete sets, but my friendly local bolt-and-screw places ought to help.
