Re: Does hub assembly have both bearings?
A "real Bug" would make your TJ seem like the luxury car that it is. I
loved my Bug but I could never get my wife to ride in it, and the heat
didn't work going downhill. That's because the heat worked off of the
exhaust manifold, and with the throttle slammed shut the exhaust manifold
isn't hot at all. Imagine a day of skiing, followed by a fifty mile (wet,
cold) drive downhill to Seattle. Brr!! Don't get me started on the
defroster or the vapor lock refusal to start in the middle of nowhere. The
"fix" for the second condition was to fasten aluminium foil to the metal
fuel lines inside the engine compartment.
A guy used to bring his Karmann Ghia to our garage in the middle of winter
complaining of excessive fuel consumption. One look under the front fenders
revealed so much ice buildup that the front tires were rubbing. A night in
the heated garage would restore normal fuel consumption, until the next
time.

Re: Does hub assembly have both bearings?
Hi Earle,
You didn't have the add-on gasoline heater inside the passenger
compartment, below the glove box. It would heat up the inside of the car
in seconds, burning gasoline right in that tiny sealed interior! Boom!

Even as early as 60-61 the bug had an optional gasoline heater.
School chum lived up on Big Mountain Ski run in Montana and managed to
keep
all of his body parts intact whilst driving a bug to school
every day in Montana winters with said heater.
The !@#@#$ Porsche 914 was even more fun than the Karmann, the
ice would build up on the fronts enough that you couldn't turn
the @!!@&&$$ wheels more than a degree or so. Plus the manual
transmission linkage in the rear would accumulate ice enough
that you couldn't shift the !!@#$!@$ thing. Added a second
fan to the exhaust heaters and converted them to a high
output stainless steel version and still managed to chill
body parts in Nebraska/Iowa winters.
Odd, as a 65 Corvair never was cold in the winter and it also
used exhaust for the heater.

Re: Does hub assembly have both bearings?
OOPS
I was still talking about the ORIGINAL Air Cooled Beetle that they stopped
importing into the USA and then stopped making this year.
I guess I should have made that a little clearer. :-)
All of my Jeeps had more luxury than any of my air cooled Beetles did. lol
The Jeeps had HEAT even with bad floors, more power to tow and a very large
cargo area.

I was still talking about the ORIGINAL Air Cooled Beetle that they stopped
importing into the USA and then stopped making this year.

All of my Jeeps had more luxury than any of my air cooled Beetles did. lol
The Jeeps had HEAT even with bad floors, more power to tow and a very large
cargo area.
