I made new pins from 3mm brass rod. 56mm long LHS and 62.5mm long RHS.
I have the lot in my parts bin if you would like a look or to use as patterns.

When fitting the Engine cover plates to the Fan housing make sure you seal them as shown in this picture from 1500king:

Thanks for all of this great info. I too had to make new pins but mine need a trim as one is too long and fouls. The picture you posted from 1500king is really low res and I can't make out what it is showing. Do you have a better pic?  I'll make some new gaskets from 3mm gasket material. Thanks again.

Don't forget, the deflector plate between the barrels must be fitted before the pushrod tubes go in, those are two pieces you don't want to be still in the box after all other tinware is on and tightened up   


Yeah, picked up on that one nice and early

Andrew (1500king) did a great thread "Microbus 2l the resurrection" on the previous forum.
Unfortunately the thread was lost but I had downloaded a few pictures to remind me to do things properly...
If you look at this picture you will see a line of white going from top-left to bottom right.
EPDM door seal if I remember correctly?
   

According to the VW manual the pins are 56mm long LHS and 62.5mm long RHS.

It's nice that all this is reproed, I keep it in stock and use on most builds as they are usually missing.

3mm brazing rod is perfect. I use it also.

Door sealing self adhesive foam is what I usually use.
