Check Speedway.

The lower alt bolt is a son of a whore, call me when you want to put the alt in there's a special procedure you need to follow.

There's a joint local to me that keeps the socketless hose in stock.  How much of it do you need; I can run by there this afternoon and grab some if you'd like.  I don't know how they compare price-wise to the online sources,  but it could be on it's way to you today.

Yes bracket first, you need to 'mod' the alternator to get the bolt in. It sucks. Looks like you have even less clearance then the Rabbit too. Rad.

thats awesome.. the one place we have around here is pretty decent, and the guy doesn't look at me too crazy for not having something amurrican.. just gives me shit for wanting "crazy metric stuff" all the time... but he stocks very little plumbing shit for some reason.

3 piece scirocco upper hose ordered- shisler, you're off the hook for that one 

summit shit showed up today, so thats one good piece of good news..

RPW shit shipped today.. I take back half the bad things I said about them.

They say I'll have everything by monday.. so we'll see.

going to be nice, cannot wait to see it

i started by cutting off the old stock aluminum hose adapters then took some aluminum pipe and put them in the lathe and milled down the ends so that the pipe will be retained when clamped down, then coped one end of the bigger horizontal pipe to fit the smaller vertical pipe.  drilled a hole in the smaller pipe and welded the two together, welded up the 45 degree at the top then welede the small 45 side to the flange which if you have ever tried to weld cast aluminum is a motherfucker,  it pops all kinds of damn holes in it and you have to chase them out.  sometimes cast will not weld but luckely the stock VW piece wasent too bad and i was able to get it done.  after all the welding was done i took a scotchbrite wheel to it and sorta sanded down all the welds and smoothed it out as best i could without takeing several days..
