I got the bug back from the shop last week and all is well. It shifts like a new bug. They replaced pretty much everything that has to do with the clutch. They also replaced the transaxle supports.

I am still looking for the outer bolts that are supposed to be next to the seat back bolts. I read in another post that the bolts that hold the back seat are the outer mounts for the belts as well on the 66. Is that right? I have peeled carpet back and checked under the side panel and can not find a...

Thanks for the offer BB. I was going to bring it to Total Performance in Tampa to get front end suspension work done and was just going to let him fix the clutch problem as well.

Hi, I just bought a 66 Bug and the previous owner converted it to 12v. It has some aftermarket plastic 12v turn signals on the front fenders which I hate, ( plastic chrome) yuck. My question is will the original Hella lens and metal chrome housing fit over that new 12v set up? Thanks for your help. ...

Your bug looks real nice. Looks to be in good shape. That Brickland is cool to.
You have your hands full with projects now.

My new baby. Pretty honest bug. The engine is not the original but runs good. Will need new pans but good other then that. It has had a bad respray on the outside but original paint inside. Will be updating as I do stuff. Talk to you guys soon.
