Steering Box  Brace

Provides secure mounting for the steering box. It has enough holding strength to secure the steering box even if the 2 original ears were disconnected from the frame! We don’t recommend using it this way, but incorporating this brace is the only “Absolutely Safe” solution to this defect.

A black anodized 1/8” steel plate with all the hardware necessary, instructions, and a new drill bit to insure easy drilling of the 2 holes through the frame. No welding!

$66.95 plus $5 shipping and handling

Swimming  Step

This swimming step allows adults easy entrance back into the Amphicar after swimming. The step slides into the jack receptacle and is secured by an elastic strap provided. In the event that it is accidentally dropped into the water before being installed, it floats!

The step has a black-painted steel frame and a treated wood step. The top and bottom of the wooden step are chamfered for looks and safety.

$59.95 plus $6 shipping and handling.

Engine Dip Stick

Checking the oil will be a pleasure instead of a “contortionists exercise”. It exits near the carburetor and faces the passenger’s side of the car. The 12” steel outer tube is sealed to the block and is watertight.

Don’t forget that when you exit the water via a steep ramp, it doesn’t take much water in the subfloor to allow some of it to flow into the engine oil through the original “too low” dipstick! Water in the oil has been a problem for lots of Amphicar owners.

Tranny Dip stick

Now you can check the road tranny oil level and it’s condition via a dipstick located in the engine compartment. To be absolutely safe, the oil should be checked before you use the car every time! The road tranny is where the water ends up when the double lip seal fails. You need to know immediately, unless you want to learn about the cost of  tranny rebuilding.

Let’s face it; most owners only check the trans level once a year because it is a big project or they simply don’t know.

The water trannny can now be easily checked with the club dipstick by simply removing the seat cushion (not the support system below it). Simply remove the trim ring. Reach down and remove the tranny vent and check the level.

$94.95 plus $6 for shipping and handling.

Easy-to-Reach PVC Bilge Plug kit

For Amphis with the large bilge plug.Glue in the female PVC recepticle in your bilge hole (epoxy not provided), then just thread in the PVC plug.

You will never have to admit that you forgot the plug!

Rear Pull Kit

My theory is: "If I have it, I'll probably never need it".

For prices, contact me and I will figure it based on exactly what you need (most people already have some of the necessary components)
