Re: What kind of Formula Vee do I have??

Looks to me like an Autodynamics- Mark 3 possibly with some frame modifications.

What are your plans for the car as there are some things that would need updating in most organizations?

Re: Wanted, stainless flat 4 collector

Mike:

I do not have a stainless, but I have several flat 4's - I think one might even be brand new. Various lengths on the single pipe.

Do you mean D-13 or MARK 3?

Re: Help identifying this Vee

Briefly, from what I can see:

tires, lack of link pin suspension, trailing arm ( singular), wheels, length of nose over the front end, coil overs shocks on front.

Re: Help identifying this Vee

Really can not help as this is NOT a Formula Vee.
If it has a VW engine, then my guess might be an early Super Vee ( with headlights)

Others might be able to give a better answer. Sorry.

I am not an authority- by no means so this is a guess. The trailing arms look like they would belong to a Beach, but the body is more along the lines of a LeGrand. Go down to the classified section of this forum ( trailering...) and there is a Beach for sale with a picture. Might I ask what your pla...

Re: Shock ID

Can't be certain, but from the looks of the bump rubber, I would guess those are Bilstein shocks. The steering damper is used on D-13's on the rear and could be original VW , CoFap, Boge, or... and readily available . So, the question is...do you want to restore to some period or do you want the car...

Re: Help me identify this vee

Jason:

The engine bolts to the trans and slides in as one unit. The shocks ( yes, you need coil overs) attack to one of the through bolt holes on the trapezoid. There should also be a plate that bolts to the trapezoid and the TOP of the engine case.
Hope this helps

Re: Machined Valve Guide Bosses

Mike:

I believe you decided at the time not to place an order.
150 pieces were brought in and at the last count, 750 were still available in Germany.

The only lack of interest might be for stock piston ring sets from K/S. Have not heard from many on trying to place an order.

Re: Anyone Coming West in next two weeks?

Dave:

In the past, many have mentioned Greyhound. Have never tried them myself but might be worth looking into.
Next best bet would be to have the parts crated and shipped.
Have a good broker if you need one.
Or a long weekend family vacation.

If you are running a sump extension OR even the stock sump plate, a screen over the pick up might have helped.

Welcome to the Interchange.
QA1 has a shock that will fit the D-13 very nicely: SS 7555B . It will take the 2.250 inch spring . You will need the collar and the seat. You might be able to use the cone from your old shocks or buy new.

Hope this helps.
