racoguy replied to the topic Re: West Coast Classic VW carpet kit in the forum.Its was more my idea than his to just send uncut carpet as I'll make the carpet pieces myself this time so that the fit is right.
At least its sorted and dealt with so that's good.

trabalais created a new topic Master cylinder rebuild Kits in the forum.I bought what I thought was the right rebuild kit for my master cylinder based on the year (1964) only to find out a different master cylinder had been installed. It appears to be 311611021A not B. It is an ATE product and there's a 20 stamped on the top. The outlets for the brake lines face...

Well mine has the front mats missing and one of the wheel arch pieces as well as 40% of the carpet I did get is made wrong.
Those guys should be ashamed of the way they do business and the way they conduct themselves, not really a joke for an USD800 carpet kit.
I hope everyone here...

Carpet kit turned up with 3 large pieces missing and 40% of what did turn up was made wrong, have emailed them numerous times but still waiting on them to make good on the...

BTW, you can easily check to see if you have a 914 engine (heads) as the spark plug holes are different from the normal type 4 location. From memory they are more vertical. A google should give you some useful info here. 914 heads are more desirable for this reason.
