    Soles 30-31 and SVDA

    Completely agree here. Over the last 10 years of ownership I have tried a few things from a 009 with ignitor2 to a full billet Pertronix (never happy with that at all). Fitted a Bluetooth 123 distributor 3 years ago & it has been faultless. Worth the investment & has paid for itself in terms...

    hot starting problem-coil

    From personal experience, I would stay away from Pertronix, I have had 2 failed coils & a Billet distributor fail within 6 months of each other. Bosch Blue all the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Rear brake light

    I thought thus one is the same, but I could be mistaken https://www.bus-ok.de/Type2-bay-Reversing-or-Indicator-Light-Bulb-Holder-for-VW-07-71-05-79-OEM-partnr-311953071 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Cab Windows jamming after refurb

    But don’t do that if you are planning on having any paintwork done anytime soon. Silicone is a body shop’s worst nightmare.

    Oil temp sender/ gauge choices

    It all depends on your setup. I have an external oil cooler flitted & one of the connectors has a blanking plug to take the sensor so it was quite easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Oil temp sender/ gauge choices

    I have tried the sump plug type (VDO) & found them to be very inaccurate. I tried 2 different VDO gauges & they both were reading under by quite a bit. (Tested using a boiling kettle & wiring) Only when I googled it did I find there were a few people that saw the same. I ended up using a Stack...

    Red 9 Twin wishbone coilover suspension

    I have had a RED9 for about 8 years & have driven 20,000+ miles on it. There are a few people that will offer their opinions & haven’t actually driven/owned a bus with it fitted. I still absolutely love it, I, like a few people had a steering box changed (free by RED9) to an updated one as...

    JK Tacho fitment...

    You would need a form of adapter I think. I have this one & it fits straight in. https://www.vwheritage.com/ac957041-smiths-original-style-tachometer-6000rpm-dashboard-mounted-grey-vw-spare Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    It will come off using heavy gauge fishing line drawn along between the body & trim. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Brake Pedal Resting Position.

    Ok so this may be a blindingly obvious question, but on a 71 with a factory servo fitted, should the brake pedal position when at rest be at the very top, in line with the clutch pedal ? Mine was always about an inch or more below, but after fitting a new Servo & pedal pushrod (from Butty's...
