[T3] motor vibration.

You replaced the pressure plate and did not rebalance the rotating 
assembly. Sometimes you can get lucky doing this. Sometimes not.

Was there something wrong with the old PP? If you still have it, try reinstalling it.

 Hello to all,
 
 I have a 1966 type 3 fastback with twin carbs. Recently I
 replaced the heads with new units. Once the motor was out I
 also replaced the clutch plate, pressure plate, throw out
 bearing. I have now noticed a motor vibration when the car
 reaches 1200 to 1500 RPM when the car is stationary. The
 vibration does not seem to appear while driving. My gut
 feeling is a worn cooling fan bush running out of true when
 revs are increased!  I am not experienced in this
 cooling fan arrangement as I have only owned beetles and
 kombis before I restored this fastback.
 
 Can anyone suggest a probable cause of this vibration.
 Should it be the fan are they easy to replace and does the
 motor have to be taken out of the car to complete the
 replacement? Any advice would be helpful.
 
 Regards,
