Hi sorry no - just the drums im afraid

Hi - sorry I think I sold it. Only thing left are the two front brake drums. Cheers Mike

I have a full set of 4 early beetle wheels for sale. They are 4J x 15 in wide 5. I bought these from kinky micks and ran them for a bit but decided to go for something different. They are straight with no dents - obviously they are bit ratty at the moment, but you could get them blasted and...

A thread i can actually make a post to now! I've built a 1915 engine for my van. I built it for torque not bhp particularly and it so driveable :) Just got back from a trip down into France and back after breaking it in - ran lovely which was a relief as its the first engine i've built from...

Thought i'd post a few new images as its a been a while! We got the ferry over to France a couple of weeks ago and travelled down with temperatures 36C in the shade - nice! I think i took everything possible with in regards to spares - even the trolley jack, but the van ran sweet as a nut all...

/Mine is the same as above aswell. You can get Z bed hinges which change it to a fold down bed though. It may have been fitted wit those?

That's quite interesting - do you know what pressure the valve to the oil cooler opens at and also what pressure it is fully open at?

Currently in France - 35 degrees in the shade... Cruising a 65 ish for an hour or two and temps starting to hit 100/105 - on a hill I have to drop to 55 to keep temps down. Never known it so hot in my life so probably exceptional circumstances! Have loads more power there aswell which I can't...

Anyone runnign 185/80/15 s on the back of their bus and got a pic? Thinking of putting a pair on the rear of mine, but wouldn't mind seeing how they would look. Got a very torquey engine and hope to drop the high end rpm a little.

No worries! I have a bit of mix and match - a late split k and lp beam, bay dual master cylinder, stock rear drums anbd csp front discs, I think i'll get hold of a second hand 944 servo off ebay and offer it up to see how it could fit. cheers

Nice one - thats great - thanks!

Thanks Paul - i'll look into this - there are alot of cable conduits around there! Is there any chance you have a pic of yours (although i know its rhd) Thanks, mike

hmmm - i have a 68 LHD but with a late Split K & LP beam - it will be a bit of a puzzle!

Hi, Has anyone managed to fit a brake servo from late bay into an earlybay? I have CSP front brakes but like the idea of getting them better still if possible. Cheers, Mike

thanks - i did try and give them a call but no answer - i think it looks like they only do power steering not rack and pinion though, cheers
