Hi, James... I thought I did explain that in the beginning of the video with the parts laid out on the table. The hard thing about visualizing this is that the parts are hidden inside the tunnel once they are installed. But basically the shifter is attached to the tunnel, fits inside the the shift rod, which rides on the bushing which is installed into the hanger, and the shift rod attached to the coupler which is attached to the tip of the transaxle as it bolts into the end of the tunnel. Here's a link to a tunnel schematic (or do a picture search on thesamba website) vwispwest.com/type1/frame/tunnel/

@@PetesGhias Thank you! I may have not said it well but you did a great job in the video explanation. It's just that I am not very familiar with this. There is still a lot for me to learn.

@@JMC8415 I agree! 🤪

Wow, thanks! Keep the positive vibes coming. It's actually a ton of work to make these videos but I'm going to keep going and hopefully keep growing.

@@mrfun2fly you’re welcome, good luck! Take pictures and keep track of all the small parts and how they fit together. After doing a bunch of these I’ve noticed that every year horn is slightly different inside.

@@MrPeeteboy thank you! Yes… it’s taken a few years and several failed attempts/Ghia bodies to get to this point. And filling and editing makes everything take three times as long.

@@murrayt3434 Thanks! New videos posted on Thursdays. Next one is a body work update. Become a subscriber! My channel is tiny but growing.

Thank you! You can get most parts from West Coast Metric or Wolfsburg west, identical to Beetle parts for the beam and chassis. For the king pin/Spindle rebuild and link pins and shims, etc I used Kustom1 Warehouse.

Haha, I was once told to wear handwarmers so you don't freeze when you're pushing you car to the side of the road.

@@MichaelFling-u8j absolutely, would love to hear more about it

@@PetesGhias I sent you an email

That's awesome. I've owned five, but not all of them ran! I also had two Beetles. Thanks for subscribing, new content posted Thursdays!

@@jamesdeath3477 thanks for watching! you can try Hollywood speedometer or orange empire speedometer. If you thought this video was funny you should check this one out and become a subscriber: ruclips.net/p/PLnDxN-tW4TRPPfKdiEoUKel8OYOkNuv6p&si=YTgyPnBDpO3gSVTx

what year is your ghia? There are electric and cable driven gas gauges.

Ha, that may be true. My channel is geared toward the average person and non-mechanic to teach basic skills and how-to for their Karmann Ghia. Not everyone is born knowing how to do this stuff. I was quoted $800 by Hollywood Speedometer to make a tach and I did it myself for a fraction of the cost. So in that regard I think it's a success. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome, I'm glad that video was helpful to you. I don't have a gas gauge for my project yet either but I'll see what I can do.

Hey, what’s up, Dave?!

@@PetesGhias Hi Pete, I really appreciate you doing this, I'm working on my old bike, but it is nothing compared to what you're doing. I like your cartoons and music also.

@@davidfalatko thank you! Let's catch up elsewhere lest you reveal my secret identity!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Please be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. I'll be posting new content weekly.

Thank you for the complement! Get the turnbuckle I used in the video, there are some cheap ones that strip out. Please don't forget to subscribe. I've been up for a week and I'm slowly growing.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the how-to. Sorry, I didn't get cutting the foam but what I'll do is dig out the original padding and put a link into the description with size and measurements. Add that to my Ghia to-do list which is never-ending!

I agree! I only started posting videos a week ago so hopefully it will catch on in the near future.

Thank you! I hope these two videos are helpful to you. AFAIK these are the best Karmann Ghia rear seat videos ever made!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. More videos to come!

Thank you for the feedback. I’m always leaning something new. The EV4U bushing is guaranteed for life so the whole idea is that it never needs to be replaced. I’ll post an update in 20 years!

Thank you! Yes, I’m super picky about making it perfect. That’s what makes Ghia owners so annoying!!

Thanks, will do!

Awesome, thank you for your support. I just started posting content 12 hours ago and there will be more to come.

I gave it some serious thought but it was crumbling and smelled pretty bad. I even bought an ozone machine to get rid of the smell but that didn't help. But I saved it in case I need to use it again as a template for another seat.
