Pete is still going! He doesn’t race his Fiat any more but is still building boxes. He’s literally just finished a beetle gearbox for me which I’m yet to collect. 020 8842 2580

If you decide to get your box rebuilt, go to cogbox, Pete knows more about vw boxes than anyone on the planet.

Thought you were using a late bay bar?

It’s your bus and your money so do as you wish with it. create image url Here’s mine: 1970 westfalia camp mobile 2276cc street/strip motor with nitrous oxide Fully built 091 (6 rib) race box with LSD Solid mounted engine & box 4.5” narrowed king & link pin beam 3.5” dropped spindles...

Really got the itch to rack some more miles now

Gave the old thing a damn good run on Saturday, went to see Pete at cogbox in north-west London in the morning then blasted up the M40 to the outskirts of Oxford to see my mate ‘Metal Dave’ who made me pizza 😂

Are they genuine rocker covers? If not track down a decent set on eBay or alike. With decent gaskets and bail clips they won’t leak, No need for sealant or anything either, but everything needs to be clean. I use OG covers on my 2276 with no issues.

PM’d you my address mate

If it’s a totally stock engine I wouldn’t bother tbh.

I think it will make a noticeable difference, providing people make sure the rest of the linkage is in good order. As others have said the generic replacement front bush is like a hot dog in a hallway straight out the packet.

I’ve got EBC drilled and grooved discs in my Porsche set up. They work well!!

Got a drill haven’t you? 😆

Awesome, thanks for sorting all this 🙏🏻

Regular e10 with no additives is perfectly fine. Only need E5 in something with a highly strung engine due to the higher octane rating.

Well that’s a somewhat sarcastic reply 🤨 I was genuinely trying to prevent you from causing yourself possible issues further down the line, you carry on 👍🏻

I mean general crud out of the material of the case itself. If you’re going do it then don’t put any locking compound at all. Spring & flat washers on each bolt will be sufficient.

Brought these for the new engine for my beetle but decided to use a set of Weber’s I already had. I’ve not run these personally but they came off a running vehicle when I brought them. Clean inside, operate freely and no corrosion. Asking what I paid for them, getting hard to find now...

Winding bolts in and out of the soft case can often cause material to drop down from the threads into the case and the internals of the engine which is why vw didn’t use bolts themselves.

Money sent

Yeah count me in 👍🏻
