    Wot Shows for 2025 ?

    Bristol was a good show for me personally especially with Creationblue organising an area for us to campout by the entrance Ozzie selling his parts from his life collection. Well worth a visit in 2025. I didn’t enjoy DATC so much this year and one to fester over in 2025. My best show was skeg by...

    CB Radio

    Right guys went for the Thunderpole T800 though Creationblue and did the install today. Just need to give it a test. Also need to find a way to run the antenna on a tintop roof as don’t want to have the coaxial cable coming through door aperture.

    Camping heat, gas or diesel????

    I gone same way with Chinese diesel heater 4kw as 2kw was hard to get. Added a tank inside my kitchen cupboard “since upgraded to stainless steal version” no diesel smells at all. heater in the lower cupboard space as well. I used a turret plate as felt it helped keep things safe. Been running...

    Tachometer

    I like the fact it runs to 6rpm Sparkywig and looks great with the style of a classic Alfa. I check out some stuff on eBay see if I can find something similar.

    Tachometer

    I reckon you should get all the other connected Ozzie ref the oil temp and pressure. Not a big job with winter on its way.

    Did you just buy the box or go for an install as well Ben72Bay. I have looked as some flier on vw air-cooled as would want an exchange unit as don’t want my bus of the road to long and having a ramp to get it out and in.

    Engine

    I will look at a box next year but will be interesting to see how it performs on a standard stock box and agree going from 40hp to around 90 is a big step so hopefully see the gains. Hoping my ICT 34 keep it balanced enough but will be re-jetted to accommodate the changes. Also asked for the new...
