Occasionally I get asked, how do I go about finding out what my VIN number is. It isn't easy to get to, but it is located under the center console. If you follow the gearshift and center tunnel back towards the engine, there is a small inspection cover to get to the linkage. Just to the front of that cover your VIN number should be stamped.
I also get asked on engine identification, and here is the story on that. It is easier to get to the the frame VIN. If you look at the base of the oil filler/generator/ alternator cast bracket where it joins the block there should be your engine number stamped in the block. You can Google VW Beetle Engine Numbers and get the year and assembly location, displacement.
Hopefully this helps as you investigate what you have and match parts to it.
I have been able to research the exhaust trumpets used on the Mini Mark. EMPI has added the trumpets back in their product line. The EMPI product number is 10-1048. If you Google it you should come up with a few different sources.
The blog has been getting quite a few posts from owners and sellers looking for a way to buy or sell a Mini Mark. There have also been many questions on parts for the Mini Marks. With that in mind I thought it might be a good idea to have just a single post on the blog where that information can be exchanged. If you have your Mini Mark and you want to find a new home, or are looking to add one to your garage; you need a part, or have one to share, post it here. If you are having trouble finding a part, another owner may be able to put you on the right track.
IF YOU HAVE PICTURES PLEASE LEAVE YOU E-MAIL ADDRESS SO VIEWERS MAY CONTACT YOU AND YOU MAY EXCHANGE THEM.
The only fine print I will post along with this is that I take no responsibility for anything that is sold, bought or other. This post is merely to connect people who have the interest of keeping the Bremen Mini Mark alive. Buyer beware!
Good luck to all!
