@Ben72Bay Yes, I jumped on the LateBay group buy, in fact I think it was my first post on there. The individual cost on the group buy ended up as £23.67 plus £3.29 postage. Which I thought was a great deal. You even get the lower spline adapter, but I just used the coupler. I’m sure there...

Great find Mike 👍 please add me to your list

Here’s a 1970 - 71 wiring diagram if that helps 👍

The steering coupler is night and day compared to the previous one. I redid my steering box this time last year but always felt as though the first bit of movement in the wheel was the initial flexing of the old coupler, compounded by the pictures above. The Lares 209 construction is so robust...

Looks fabulous That blanket would look brilliant in our Winnie … love it 👍

Last day down Llangadfan Mid Wales. Had a couple of days out to Welshpool along the A458 which is a great road. Can’t believe the difference the new steering coupler has made, van feels totally planted now and is great through the twistys. Tweaked the 123 curve before leaving as I noticed there...

We love Black Rock Sands, stayed there twice last year 👍

Took Winnie for a spin down the road to Rhos on Sea today as it was such a nice day. They’ve done a load of work on the beach and promenade recently and really looks brilliant plus the free parking is back too. Had a great afternoon, new steering coupler is brilliant, what a...

Yes, I jumped on that group buy that he organised 👍

Fitted a Lares 209 Steering Coupler today that I got as part of a group buy over on LB Old v New OEM has a fair bit of flex Lares 209 has a lot less flex Managed to do it all from underneath, went for a test drive and noticed a significant improvement. Horn still works as well which...

Thanks for the pics and the useful advice 👍 I went to change a sidelight lamp and discovered that the tabs had been bent out of the way, Checked the other side, same. I presume the headlights were built up wrong at the time of the our build. I’ll whip them out and put them together correctly...

Cheers 👍 I take it the redundant adjustment screws in the outer ring get blanked with dummy bolts before going back on once alignment is done.

@sparkywig … Does this mean that the MK I Golf Headlights can still utilise the old rim adjusters once the MK I bracket has been removed?

I had one fail on the washer push and one fail on the hands advance button on the deluxe (blooming expensive) clock. Bought a job lot for future failures 🤣👍

Brilliant, hope that I’m still tinkering when I get to your age 👍 truly inspiring. I’m currently at the forget where I’ve put it / reading glasses everywhere age 🤣

Looks the business 👍

Superb … we really need to do this at some point 👍

Quite enjoyed rolling around doing the accelerator cable 🙈🤣 so did a bit more today replacing the reverse and rear fog lights with the ones I’ve had sat in the shelf now for a while.

Oh no, nothing serious I hope 🤞

Looking forward to the seeing Boris’s updates 👍
