31 years - my first ‘car’….1991

Hi all - nice to be back, been abroad for a few years, so great to be back with the van on the road again, now finishing all those jobs that need to be done but loving driving the van again. V. early 68 by the way. I have a gearbox issue - I know with these things it is almost impossible to...

Is the best place to buy these direct from Gene Berg (especially if I am states side right now?) And for an early '68, right hand drive - GB 6750R-LK looks to be the right version? http://www.geneberg.com/product_info.php?cPath=17_480_2972&products_id=2867

...so, is this an 'old' version? (Image is just what you see on the 'outside' of the alternator - the one I just bought does not have the spade connector on the top...anyone do the version that I have?

Further to my question a while ago at wildly dipping headlights, I need to replace the regulator in my alternator. Mine looks like this though: with the wire connection coming out of the top - nothing like the bit I just ordered from JK, and which I see everywhere else...?

Yep - spotted that in a search - good advice!

I think my regulator (internal) has gone on the van - posted a while ago about an intermittent charging light issue, which involved flashing headlights. Current alternator is pretty old, may use opportunity to replace whole thing - if so, any reason to 'upgrade' to a 75amp version? Don't have a...

...and when is the OS arriving? :lol:

Ok - sell it to me! :D I am a Google fan, but have never really persevered with Chrome - tried it when it first came out, but couldn't find anything on screen :lol: - do these apps suddenly make it worth another try and a move from Firefox?

Obviously a 1/2" socket will fit any 1/2" drive, but it quite handy being able to pop down to Halfords and get any extras one might need if required. Friend had a Halfords set from a good 5-6 years ago, and the case had broken - he rang them up and they sent a new case (slightly different...

Got my Halfords stuff when I got my van, back in 1990 - still going strong.

Excellent thread, hope to do the same sometime with my SP. Here is a link I've had bookmarked for a while, for when the time comes... http://www.cbperformance.com/weberict.asp

Um - be interested to know/see where it was a problem - I know that the areas left and right of the middle section are also sealed off on later bays.

Looking to add one of these onto my '68 van. Looking for decent condition, doesn't have to be perfect, just straight and with out rusty holes! I am located in Surrey.

It's a start! :D (So can I call my Van 'pre-68' ? Registered in Peterborough on Jan 1st '68 - but built on December '67!)
