I fitted a toothed belt to see how it performs, bc the engine has been reversed the alternator side is slack (see pic) and when hot it won’t always give a charge due to slip, it’s taken me ages to figure out the reason after noting the patterns over the last couple of trips So on testing...

Don't forget to add sawdust, about a cup per litre (y)

Great work, please tell me you are going back to Sierra Yellow :cool:

I looked into this for my Corvair engine and went for FUCHS TITAN UNIMAX 10W40, its a premium oil at a decent price imo,

Every year about now I go through the cupboards and drawers and throw away out of date food tins, spares for a type1 engine that I haven't had for over 5 years etc, however this year I re-stocked the cutlery drawer a put some crockery back in as normally at a show I eat out but a few weeks ago...

We’ll be there :cool:

So, we had a fun weekend All four seasons in a day along with high winds and hail! Was great to get in the bus tho! Of course there was a slight issue…. The fan belt had worn and was not charging (yea that issue again). On inspection the adjustment idler would take the belt beyond the...

Hi. The early Earlies had the net and the mid to late Earlies have the headbanger shelf (as did the late bays, but that don’t fit the Earlybay). Tintop & poptops had the same interiors

As a stroke of luck, the neighbour walked past and said when your done, come and pour the waste oil in my 25l drum, I'll take it in to work and dispose of it for you :cool:

Nice one Oz, must fit a light in my engine bay. Looks good

This weekend I dropped the oil & filter. Didn’t do it last year so was due a change. Actually I had an oil leak coming from the bell housing, so it’s been on my mind to investigate, but when I found those loose bolts and sorted that issue it must have cured the oil leak too which makes sense...

Dismantled the hub to get the adaptor off. Bought a cheap snide makita battery as the one I had wouldn’t take a charge and it’s worked a treat. Ran an m14 tap through all the threads and put it all back together. One thing that I’d never encountered before was the hub got stuck on the stub...

Perhaps a good idea for organisers of the larger events would be to have a dedicated pre-(name a year) option camping area. Don't get me wrong I've met plenty of peeps over the years who drive later vehicles but I have more in common with the AC guys. Chatting around a fire about how the...

Bus looks fantastic mate, I've never been a massive fan of gasburners but looking at yours I am really digging them :cool:

The whole Earlybay scene has fragmented in recent year, I see so many at shows still but it seems that the T5/6 owners are the ones that are more interested in actually showing their vehicles. I believe it's because less people use this site and more use Facebook. This was always a good place to...
