I need some parts for my 70 1800E

Oil temp sensor (common to lots of models I hope).
Odo angle gear
Shift boot
beauty rings for my original black clover wheels.

I also have some powdercoated 740 wheels (10 spoke?) that have not been used since being redone. I had plans to use them on the 1800 but I am leaning towards the panasport? replicas now. For now the original clovers are doing just fine.

I will get some pics of the 10 spoke wheels up soon.

Oil temp sender??? Do you mean oil pressure sender? Oil pressure senders are cheap and plentiful as they are a stock VDO part used on many different cars (1/8 NPT thread and pressure rating of the gauge is what you need). You can get most of this stuff from Olof at Vintage Import Parts (http://www.vintageimportparts.com/).

Angle drives are a PITA and fragile but not uncommon and he's got shift boots up the wazoo.

Are you missing the trim rings or just want new ones? I believe they are stainless and will buff up nicely. These may be harder to find.

Thanks,

Yes Olof has a shift boot but It will set me back 50 bucks. I may go for something leather.

I mean oil temp sender. The oil pressure is working. The 1800e also has an oil temp gauge.

My rings are shiny but a little beat. Lots of dents.
Tough to find these.

I bought one of the boots years ago...you need it to seal up the cabin, it's not just for looks. So $50 isn't all that bad - maybe you could find one on eBay for less.

Where is the oil temp sender located? The one on my 242 is in the oil pan drain plug - it's a stock VDO sender that is used on many things in that temp range (printed on the side) and I believe it's a common VW part. Check what the gauge wants and cross it over to more common parts.

Trim rings are terrible - I bought a set of 15" stainless ones at Can Tire for my steel wheels ages ago. They were a little wide, but looked OK. Places like Wheel Vintiques have trim rings, but be ready to pay for them as well.

I'm just posting because I like your handle. I have a KTM xc450

Shift Boot. Yes I agree I am back to looking at the rubber boot to seal the cabin. IPD has one for $16 and $30 shipping .

Oil temp sensor: Located at bottom of oil pan. Not in the drain plug. I figured this part was common throughout 122s etc.

Pictures: I will get some up in the next week or so.

Never seen one on a 122 oil pan...and I've seen a few of them.
