Very nice indeed 👌

I’ve serviced a few Bosch 009’s and sold them on eBay. I used to get my parts from VWNOS.com in the states, really helpful fella. Here is a genuine 009 spring. I think the one on the left in your pic is a rogue spring based on the one in this pic, it’s more like the one to the right. Also...

009 Distributors should only have 1 spring fitted. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=314842

It was a huge fence staple, all sorted now and back on the road 👍

We had a short trip down to Rhos-on-Sea the other week, and heard a clicking noise from the rear o/s wheel on the way back, sounded like something in the tyre. Couldn’t see anything at the time, fast forward to today pulling van out of garage … another flaming puncture 🙈. That’s 4 since moving...

Go easy with the Bakelite pedestal, as they can break easy. If the rod is freely moving up and down and the correct length I’d be tempted to just go with the pump change first. The quality and bore of some of the replacement pedestals ain’t too great, there’s a thread over on LB discussing this...

Hey Steve, great story, welcome to the forum 👍 Cool garage too 👍 I used to work for P&G before I retired and spent a fair bit of time in the Mid West, Cape Girardeau South East Missouri in particular, good times indeed 👍

Welcome Dave, looking forward to seeing your updates once you’ve got your van. As a fellow retired Dave, you’re making the right decision 👍

Do you know what … so have I 🤣. seem to remember not being able to get the barrel out when I did all the others, must find those spare wafers now 🙈🤣👍

Very nice 👌 I was trying to work out why there was a split in the carpet until I realised it’s the steering column 🤣🙈

Welcome to the forum, Love the look of your collection, especially inside the Beetle engine bay 👍 Looking forward to seeing more pics as your projects progress 👍

@Ben72Bay Interested to hear your thoughts once fitted. I have a sub under the buddy box so lack of bass wouldn’t be an issue in the cab, current door speakers seem a bit weak.

Mine was clicking, in fact it was your previous fuel rod post that made me look at mine, to find the Bakelite spacer had indeed broken. I got the “stuck” bottom bit out using an M10 tap, then did an oil change where I found some small bits of Bakelite. Good shout from sparky to remove the...

Great pics Mike, how many have you bagged now?

There’s a lot of waves exchanged here in North Wales 🤟 between vans of all shapes and sizes. Winnie got a lot of attention last year when we were near Tenby, waves, flashes, pomp’s, people pointing (sometimes a bit over enthusiastic) etc, made me feel really proud … well, until I parked up at...

Do it, now’s the time 👍

I have Nexen commercial CT8’s on mine. Night and day compared to car tyres 👍

Hey James, I bet you’re wishing you’d invited Mr Tickle round to help, I know I was when I did mine without dropping the engine last year 🤣. After putting in longer studs (mine were way too short) I spun the nut onto the front (inaccessible) stud then tightened down on the back ones using a...

Mine did the same when I was doing the seals recently. It was broken further up (probably been like that for a while) and I managed to retrieve the lower section using a M10 tap. The replacement I had wasn’t bakolite but seemed fairly decent (time will tell) I found a few fragments of bakolite...

Very nice 👍 What site have you been staying at?
