THING

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

NOTICE

**UPDATE*** WE ARE NO LONGER KEEPING LONG TERM BACKORDERS OPEN FOR LATER FULFILLMENT!! *** Supply-chain disruptions have hampered our ability to acquire/restock items reliably, and a lack of backorder ETA information is the frustrating "new normal" for our hobby. As a result, we have had to change our BACKORDER FULFILLMENT PROCEDURES. We are now only fulfilling order requests only for items that we have in stock OR that we know can be acquired within a defined timeframe. Items that are not expected to be restocked within 2 weeks WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED. Made-to-order, Special-Order, and Direct-shipped items with longer advertised manufacture and/or fulfillment lead times will NOT be auto-canceled, and will be fulfilled in the longer, as-advertised timeframe.

PLEASE NOTE: You are NOT CHARGED for out-of-stock items. We ONLY charge for items that are available to be shipped in a timely or reasonably reliable timeframe. You can email to cancel un-shipped/un-paid items at any time as long as they are not direct-shipped, special order or made/machined-to-order.

Currently our response time to emails is slow (we are severely short-staffed). Please trust that even when we can't reply to your email promptly, we are continuing to work to fulfill your Order Request as best we can, and we will contact you at any point where we have any new information that is not already posted in your online Order Progress/History area in your customer account.

AIRCOOLED.NET IS DOWNSIZING. On November 1st, our online store will be taken OFFLINE for several months while we relocate to a different facility and undergo a "restructuring" of the company in the hope our business will be able to recover from the challenges and setbacks we have faced these past two unusual years. It is our intention to re-open on or around FEBRUARY 15th with a new website.

Please only continue if you are prepared to be PATIENT. We appreciate your continued support and understanding.

Shock Pad, Body to Axle Beam, Front, All Standard Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing, PAIR, 111-899-123A-111-123A

Shock Pad, Body to Axle Beam, Front, All Standard Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing, PAIR, 111-899-123A-111-123A

Price: $4.95

Shock Pad, Body to Axle Beam, Front, All Standard Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing, PAIR, 111-899-123A-111-123A sit on top of the axle beam to prevent body flex and vibration. The pan bolts pass thru the washers then these pads, holding the body tight!

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 10mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-117B-113-115A

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 10mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-117B-113-115A

Price: $5.95
SALE ITEM! use code TOOMANY30

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 10mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-117B-113-115A sit between the pan and body, and dampen road vibration. Typically there are 2 thicknesses used, 10mm and 17mm, these are the 10mm. Ideally you'd buy 2 sets of the 10mm thick, and 1 set of the thicker ones. Put the thin ones on all 4s, and IF there is a gap at one of the locations (typically the rear one in the rear wheel well), swap them out for the thicker ones, then bolt it down.

Warning: it's very common for the bolt that holds the body to the chassis to be very seized, be sure to use a lot of penetrating oil and work it back and forth to loosen it, shearing it off is a pain to deal with!

Also, if you have a 1968 and later car with a "clunk" in the back that you can't figure out (you'd changed shocks with no luck), usually the rear pads are compressed, and the body has a gap to the chassis. The body is flexing when you hit a bump, and hitting the pad. Using the thick pad and tightening the bolt down to prevent the flex will solve the problem!

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 17mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-115A-113-115

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 17mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-115A-113-115

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 17mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-115A-113-115 sit between the pan and body, and dampen road vibration.

Tail Light Seal, 1973-74 Beetle, Superbeetle, and THING, Econo, PAIR

Headlight Wire Tube (Rubber), 1967+ Beetle and Super Beetle Sedan and Convertible, PAIR, 111-941-185C

Headlight Wire Tube (Rubber), 1967+ Beetle and Super Beetle Sedan and Convertible, PAIR, 111-941-185C

Price: $12.95

Headlight Wire Tube (Rubber), 1967+ Beetle and Super Beetle Sedan and Convertible, PAIR, 111-941-185C are the critical rubber tube which runs between the front quarter panel, and the headlight bucket on the fender. This keeps the headlight wiring safe and dry! These are often cracked or missing, and water, rocks, sand, and gravel are destroying the delicate headlight wires!

To install these you must use a needle or end of a paperclip, shoved into the headlight bulb end of the plug. This releases the lock tab on the slip on wire end, and allows you to wiggle the wire out of the plug. Do all 3. Fish the wires through the new boot, put the boot into the holes on the body and headlight bucket, then re-install the wire ends into the clip, and plug it back in!

Engine Compartment Seal, 1972-79 Type 2 and Type 4, 411-813-225

Engine Compartment Seal, 1972-79 Type 2 and Type 4, 411-813-225

Price: $59.95

Engine Compartment Seal, 1972-79 Type 2 and Type 4, 411-813-225 is a replacement engine seal for VW Busses with the Type 4 engine. This can also be used to Type 1s, if you don't want to have to remove the engine to change the engine seal!

This engine seal is installed after the engine is put in, and removed prior to engine removal. It's shaped like an "H" with one slit fitting the engine tin, and the other fitting the body.

When using this instead of the stock type 1 engine seal, it's more forgiving of "gaps" or poor alignment of the engine and/or the body sheet metal due to accidents having tweaked the body.

Remember, when installing this seal the shiny side goes DOWN toward the road! This seal is 121" long, 2-1/4" wide overall, and has a 5/8" wide center section in the slotted portion.
