We are the fitting agent for Litesteer in the midlands and have fitted a number of kits over the years, yes there are cheaper options but I prefer to fit a kit that has been thoroughly tested and comes with support and Neil and the team at Lite steer are constantly working on better solutions...
Out of interest did the instructions you found refer to the actual distributor you bought as those timing instructions are not right for a vac advance dizzy?, vac advance dizzys are set at 7.5 degrees static not at 3500 rpm and you said it ran ok for the first 10 minutes, if the timing was out...
1972 Bay Window Dormobile, previous owner owned for 20 years but never quite made it to the road and lost interest, fully running and working but best described as a rolling resto or you could just use it as it is, underneath all rock solid with lots of work done, engine and all the running gone...
I’ve got a couple of buses for sale at the moment, ones a 72 Westy full project bus, needs work but not like a UK one and I’ve got a 72 Dormobile that runs and drives, just needs cosmetics, rock solid underneath.
Yep completely agree we see and hear of so many failures from fellow aircooled mechanics and they seem to do everything to dodge the warranty.
As above check its not the alternator/dynamo playing up as they can seize and that can be checked by pulling the fan belt off, pulleys eat themselves and...
We use electrical cable pull rods to pull cables through the belly pans, if you still have the 'tube' in tact its a relatively easy job to pull the new loom through once the old one has been removed, its just a bit fiddly. We've done quite a few over the years.
1972 MY VW Westfalia Project, originally shipped from Germany to Gibraltar but been in the UK for a few years. I bought it to restore it but the workshop is too busy so cant see this getting done anytime in the near future. Its had some parts removed over the last few years by previous owners...
I’ve just fitted MGF seats in my Crewcab, they are cheap around £150 a pair and are really comfy, there’s a place in Blackpool that breaks cars and I got them from there, I’ll get some pics
unfortunately no one seems to make a good repro of that rear bracket for the toggle not that we could find, all the toggles come with the wrong brackets unless someone has found one?
You've clearly never been in a well set up lowered bay and as Sparky as said its up to the owners what they run, trying to preach at people on this friendly forum is not the way to go about things, suggest you try your luck on FB.
The setting for a lowered bus is not as standard set up and should be toe'd in slightly and not as stock, i would suspect who ever installed also didn't rotate the camber nuts correctly,
I’m not sure Autowares make all the components themselves buy I know they make the mirror head and obviously the convex glass, I think your review on here is quite damming considering you haven’t even contacted them to discuss it, I know Steve well and I think it’s somewhat unfair to post this...
