This is a 1968 Early Bay 1600cc Riviera Conversion. American period conversion when new based on the Westifaila layout, interior very original. It's a very early panel conversion and shares the same style aluminium windows with the equivalent Split Screen Riviera. Cab area...

Hello Will, It's nice to see there's another bus owner in Cheltenham. Your bus looks great and I especially like the job you've done on the front end! Let me know if you need a hand or just to borrow some tools, although it looks like your pretty sorted. Cheers, Mike.

Thanks for your replies, I will check the heritage site out. The Beru leads did less than 50 miles before they went hard! And the coil lead was too short! My old Bosch leads that I put back on are still very soft. The Beru cap and rotor arm contacted each other and twisted the whole drive...

Hello Dicky, Nice Bus and good luck with the van. Just pm'ed you regarding local meets, it might be worth putting your location in your profile so people can see where your from. cheers, Mike.

The beetle engine had a Bugpack 4062-10 cam to add to the bag of goodies (.425 Lift) and (284 Deg Duration) should be good for mid range engine build as going by a quick internet search. Let me know what u think if you like. Mike.

Hello, Thanks for the replies, The dowl pin is loose in the case and the bearing has evidence of the crank touching and trying to rotate the bearing I don't think it was incorrectly seated. There is no signs of overheating (blueness) on the bearing or crank as all seems bright and shiney...

Hello I have been stripping down a late twin port engine over the holidays and need an opinion on what I have found. The main #1 (thrust) bearing has been moving in the case but has not spun completely. it has ovalled the dowel pin hole in the case. The journel base has also been worn slightly...

Thanks for the replies, I have since continued my research and started to strip my donor engines. I'm going to stick with the lightweight flywheel as I already own it and maybe by a heavy front pully. The heads are late '75-76 fuel injection heads with (std 33mm in x 30 Ex) so mine have had...
