    1970 San Francisco westfalia resto

    I fitted a CSP hex bar linkage to a mates type 4 in a T3 recently and I have to say it was the first hex bar kit that I actually liked. Nice solid feel to it, no wobbling around and the return spring is proper strong😀💪🏻👍🏻

    Revs vs speed vs temp

    I put my faith in having all original tinware, flaps and thermostat, the dipstick test and the factory warning light. Seems to work just fine. Can just about hold the dipstick and the light doesn't flicker at idle after a long fast run. That'll do me. Out of interest though, what are the...
