I like the stock steering wheels. Looks like you did a great job.

You pull the brass tube, roughen up the outside, and reset with a hammer.

Buy a fire extinguisher too.....

I love the cardboard arrow!

That's a common area for them to leak. That leak has caused more than one VW to go up in flames :shock:
You can probably work the brass tube out, put a little chamfer on the carb where it goes in, then re-assemble it with a little JB Weld.

If you want, I have a 34 PICT-1 (i think) that you can have. It needs to be rebuilt. That may give you peace of mind. Let me know if you want it.

What size carb is that. James might have the part you need. See if he will chime in.
