no Bentley although there are some CD's out there with various Type 4 info.

Manuals you need

Type 3 Bentley - The Tranny info is AWESOME
Clymer 412 shop manual - It mostly sucks, but does have some info
Haynes 411/412 shop manual - same as the Clymer
Type 2 Bentley - For the Type 4 Engine info
How To Rebuild Aircooled Engines

Got the T3 bentley & T2 Haynes, will get the others. As to Ray, what kind of insurance policy do you people have on him? What about wiring schematics & electrical?

Haynes and Clymer both have wiring schematics.

Insurance on Ray? When he went to the Phillipenes we were all a little worried!

I am about to go back in a week or two. The VW scene is very limited there. Ray

Fly only 747, careful crossing the streets and don't drink the water............... For my sake!

Man...you guys don't understand Philippine airlines at all. Its all 747. Nice flight...but scary when you see them load and unload. These people ship everything in large cardboard boxes strapped together. Seriuosly!.....the average person has two large suitcases and 3 boxes. The family that was in front of me while unloading in san francisco....had mom, dad and 3 kids. They had 5 suitcases...and 11 24" x24" boxes . ALL of the passengers (but me) travelled this way. I have no idea wht they had to pay for those boxes. It took right at 3 hours unloading at each end of the trip to get my bags. Always the last plane out scene. There is no way that plane was not overweight. It was packed to the gills. And of course...I was flying "fiesta class" . Jesus christ! Night over water at 37,000 feet....17 hours! Hard not to be a smooth flight when the plane weighs in at 500,000 pounds! The food is a different story. Got fed 3 times each way. Spicy pork...or funky chicken made for an endless line in aisle to the can. Thank god for that bag of nutrigrain bars I carried... . First time I ever flew where I really used that dang eye-cover gizmo. It works well..except when you hear the bar cart rattleing and open your eyes and see...nothing!?
That plane took the whole runway to get off the ground in manila.
Or ...I could fly Northwest or American to Japan...layover for two hours...then to manila...but that makes it a 24 hour flight. Ray

all I can say is YIKES!

You got me beat. My worst was a Pan Am 747, center aisle, middle, between a fat guy with gas and a screaming baby, JFK to FRA, 9 hours , non-responsive stews, full lavs
