VW parts sources...too bad Pelican don't sell them!
Oh I have become spoiled dealing with Pelican for Porsche parts....!!!
I need to order a disc brake kit for a 71 superbeetle and have been waiting for 6 days for socalautoparts to ship...so I started a paypal dispute and now have to find these parts again... ![]() Can you guys recommend a aftermarket VW shop that comes close to the level of service provided by Pelican? WAYNE....I wish you sold VW parts!

ECS tuning is good for newer VAG stuff, no idea if they support the classic Beetle.

Too big to fail

I use WW a lot, and love them. Their online catalog is a model of how this stuff should work.
There are a lot of little podunk, fly-by-night VW parts outfits that seem to have sprung from nowhere, selling schiddty Chinese-made crap. By far the worst experience I had was with BFY; I ordered some 36hp engine bearings, and after a month or so on not receiving said bearings, I inquired as what was going on. Paraphrasing: "yeah, we got your order. we don't actually have the bearings, but if we get a set, we'll send them to you."

Another vote for Wolfsburg West for air-cooled parts. Reliable, ship immediately, and they stand behind their products.

I have ordered from WW but lately it's been j-bugs.
Helmethead, I have a set of functional calipers. I replaced them just because . . . If you want them, let me know.
