    Bay Rev Counter in dash Pod. Top Quality. Poss Group Buy

    I have mine too now. It does look good! I have bench tested it and will hopefully fit it this weekend. The only snag is my one has a white back light instead of green. I've emailed them and it should be sorted out soon..

    Bay Rev Counter in dash Pod. Top Quality. Poss Group Buy

    Ah, I hadn't noticed that. So it is a 0-6500 rpm scale rather than 0-6000 or 0-7000 that would put the last digit at the 270° position Strange, as it uses a their own stepper motor internals (?) you wouldn't think calibration for any scale, linear or otherwise, would be a problem. I'll just...

    Bay Rev Counter in dash Pod. Top Quality. Poss Group Buy

    Nice attention to detail! I like that the dial has the exact same font as the speedo and the needle design is the same too. So much so, I've just emailed my order :party0021: Has anyone received and fitted theirs yet?

    2 litre CP code 6-rib bay gearbox

    I'm hoping to run a bigger engine at some stage and the original box takes some skill to get into 3rd without the crunch. Right, I've talked myself into going for it if noone else has first dibs... PM on it's way... :party0021:

    Vehicle Weight - How heavy is the bus?

    No worries CP, glad to help make that journey a little less stressfull! I hadn't planned to fiddle with the corner weights but now that I see how far out they are I won't be able to help myself... I can't find a stowaway so I guess that the 40+ year old left-rear or right-front springs have...

    Vehicle Weight - How heavy is the bus?

    Mine's not long back from the body shop. It's in a similar state of build but engine & gearbox are in plus a few additional kg's of filler/paint :D That's 1011kg with the engine, gearbox and doors but no glass, interior or bumpers fitted yet. Without the engine/box it would probably be...

    stearing box arm removal

    Similar story here. After bending/distorting a few different puller types I squeezed in the heaviest duty bearing seperator I could. It took a lot of force to get the bugger to shift - the difficulty was keeping everything square whilst winding on the load.

    Wide 5 front disc conversion.

    I have been thinking about going for the CSP kit but I was under the impression (wrongly?) that it widened the track slightly rather than narrowed it. I'm already pushing it with the wider 356 rims so if the CSP kit does bring it in slightly that would be ideal.. I've had a few panic/emergency...

    15" split wheels

    I may have jumped in a bit soon there... I've seen wider looking 15" steel or chrome rims on a few bays which look 8) . After yet another google searching session I now don't know if I've been looking at 356 Porsche or split wheels :? Would these be 15" 4.5J and the Porsche 356 be 15" 5.5J?

    15" split wheels

    I'd be interested if getting them shipped to Norfolk isn't a daft idea! :D
