hi Robb - you had pm on Dec 05 - any answers? cheers, Rob

"while i lay underneath" - are you Flat Stanley, by any chance?!! good luck, Rob

I bought this switch and am happy with the seller - really nice guy - but did anyone spot the little detail - although this was not described as a switch for an early bay - it isn't!! I did not realise that there were two variants of dash mounted switches - one for an early Beetle which fits a...

Peter Good at Volksgoods - excellent! well worth doing - and add some extra cable runs for ancillaries while you are about it - a 7 core trailer wiring cable is a good forward investment, run from front to back of a bus! cheers Rob

yes plse - I'll pm you Rob

merci m'sieur - so that's W7CC or W8CC long reach plugs depending on the operating temperature required - I found this thread on the Samba really helpful too http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=205941&highlight=w7cc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; cheers Rob

doh - meant W8AC

can I hijack the thread? - what are 'long reach' plugs? I have just bought a new long block 1600TP and the destructions say "use long reach plugs" - are these standard W6AC - or what? cheers Rob

hi - I am buying a new 1600TP long block but want to keep my current engine, so need a donor replacement to offer as p/ex - can be non-runner but engine case needs to be 're-usable' i.e. no holes/cracks etc and it needs to be 'complete' i.e. not a box full of bits! pm me with anything you have...

easiest booking seems to be Norfolk Line Dover-Dunkerque - just call it a VW Transporter and put in the car category for height and length - cheap too and if you were still looking for places to go then a trip up to Bruges from Dunkerque is a treat - good cycling on the canals and river paths -...

thanks for looking anyway! cheers, Rob

can anyone help me - I need a bracket for the thermostat - for stock 1600TP - where to buy or has anyone got a spare to sell me? cheers Rob

lucky new owner!! out of interest - how does that remote servo work? cheers Rob

thanks Humpty - what would you choose to re-jet the 34PICT3 carb to? cheers Rob

that's really helpful, many thanks - confirms it then - it's 1776 upgrade with my 1600 bits - there was a thread on the Samba a while back where someone in the US said a good solid bus option was 1776 with single port heads - would that be your advice? and now the killer question - who makes a...

hi - did you solve this - i had bust motor on a 72 early with dash mounted 2speed switch - bought new Bosch VW Brazil motor from JK - sold as ok for 67-74 bay - but it has the same problem as yours - will work on both speeds but won't self-park - if i connect the old black/violet wire in the...

oh yes - also meant to ask about oil - my current 1600 has full flow oil filter but not cooler - airspeeduk say their 1776 is full flow and needs oil cooler as well as filter - but if I fit a 1776 but underpowered with a 34pict3 carb then would a cooler still be needed?? cheers, Rob

hi - have done a search but did not find any answers to this question: is it ok to run a 1776 long block with stock 1600tp ancillaries - Solex 34 Pict 3, vac dizzy, heat exchangers - going to adapt exhaust using beetle stock with twin bus tailpipes - doing this cos cannot afford full twin carb...
