Perfect, thank you! :party0047: This would have been easier if I had started with a full set of tin wear, thanks previous owner! :roll: :?

That is lovely. More please, looks classy and classic at the same time. Good work. :party0021:

So problem solved.... hopefully! The alternator is from Cool Air and I sent them an email with the video this morning and they have now confirmed that the alternator is faulty, Vince even rang me to talk through the options to find a solution. They are sending a replacement out ASAP so the...

Yes, still a slight wobble, but more what I would assume would be 'expected' from aftermarket parts, nothing like this. Not yet, but I am not sure what difference that would make, I can spin the front pulley by hand and it has the same result. I do have a Dial Test Indicator, so I can give...

Video fixed and working.

Any other thoughts guys, is this normal? :Poke: :sign0009:

Thanks but yes, as part of the trying to figure out what the issue is I did take the fan off and watch the spindle rotate and it seemed OK, however I assume even being 0.05mm out on the shaft would be exagerated on the extremes. :|

I purchased a brand new 70amp alternator conversion kit which came with the oil filler pedistal, backing plates and strap. I then bought a new fan hub fixing kit to use with my old shims and a used 'wide' 35/36mm fan I had on the shelf. I put it all together expecting to have that part of the...

Thanks for the explanation Abel. :party0047: The one in the picture above is not the one I have, it is just a picture I found online for reference. The one I have is the 'flat bar' version, which as you say, is the single port one then! :? As long as it fits, I do not mind adjusting the...

Oo, that is pretty close, thanks! Interesting thanks Abel, I have already ordered these as the flaps I bought have them on already so I was going to replace them to improve the linkage. So if dual port flaps do not have those springs, that means I have single port flaps! :roll: :? Do you...

Thanks, but do you know what they are called or have a link? I went through hundreds of items using the search term 'Clip', and this was the closest I could find: https://www.vwheritage.com/n90047001-clip-for-the-bonnet-hinge-vw-spare :| Good point! Although I think you will be okay to...

I am not near them right now, but I can let you know when I have cleaned them. :character0036: I have seen the suggestion of adding an 'indicator / dab of paint' to the push rod to show when the flaps are open a few times now and I think it is a good idea. Apparently you can heat your...

Circled in blue: I am restoring a set of flaps and I am not sure what clips to use. :sign0009:

Thanks guys, fairly conclusive poll results!

After learning in more depth about the fan shroud flaps and thermostat, I realised that my engine never had them! :shock: I took my engine apart a couple of years ago, where it then sat in boxes and the missing thermostat and flaps were not something I noted at the time. :? So, I have read...
