I have a set of brake discs and pads, I bought these from Kingfisher Customs, I think the total was £80 for discs and cant remember how much pads where. I fitted the discs and pads to my 1971 van and they started catching, as my brake set up was upgraded to late bay brake calipers by previous...

Hi Mate, It was on the van when I bought it, pretty sure ive seen it for sale on Heritage or Just Kampers, It has holes in it so you can attach pipes/etc with a cable tie, only downside is its not the strongest so you pull it to hard and it can break as its seems like its made out of like a chip...

SOLD, nice meeting you today Stuart, hope you had a good journey back home👍

Just replied to your email Stuart👍

Make sure you do your homework on the engine builder(see my other thread on here) Don't go for the cheapest like I did and ask lots of questions before deciding who is building your engine.

Thanks mate, I have no trust in the air cooled engine anymore, I bought a impreza a few weeks ago and im transferring the engine, loom etc into the van. I know its a shame to put a water cooled engine in her and ruin the originality, but i want to use the van and not worry about the engine every...

Thanks guys(y) Took my engine back to engine builder and they refused to fix it, they couldn't even give me a legit reason why it broke, but blamed me as they said as soon as I heard a noise I should have turned the van off, I tried to argue that the damage was already done and I turned it off...

Hi, Just introduce myself, been a long time lurker of this forum, owned my van for around 12 months a 1971 Danbury, had some wonderful times with her and some not wonderful times, So i'll start with the not so wonderful times. When I first bought her I drove her back from Cheshire to my home...
