:lol: I just realised that and was about to edit my post so I didn't look like a knob :lol: too late now haha. The guy I spoke to on the phone suggested it and I have since cancelled the order, nice chap and a good salesman!!

Ok I ve decided a stat is a good idea, thanks for swaying me that way people it does make sense. What are your views on this though - As my engine is fitted already and I don't want the aggro of having the engine out, is it viable to leave the flap as they are and fit one of these as I'm full...

The thermostat is on the "hot" side of the airflow and reacts to the temperature of the air blown over, and radiated from, the piston bores, so it's already done it's work and is on the way out and away from the bus. The thermostat doesn't even "plug" a hole, it just sits in the airflow. As the...

Thanks for some great input/views guy's. Had a chat with my air cooled guy who put the engine in today and turns out I had gotten a little confused, the flaps are not welded and are operational, it just the thermostat I don't have. His take on it and he's always had bugs and vans without and...

Similar to yourself, I've read quite a lot of the various build threads and am amazed at the quality and jobs the guys are getting involved with. id love to be able to do it myself but am restricted mainly by not having the time to learn let alone actually do the job. I do take on the smaller...

Just wondering on peoples thoughts to thermostats. I have a brand new engine with the old thermostat flaps welded open, is this advisable or would you say get a brand new one from the engine supplier? Paranoia of a thermostat failing and killing the engine was my initial reason for leaving the...

So its been a productive Saturday, got one job finished and another half done. The finished one was one I hoped not to have to do, but after several failed attempts coming in at £25 lost I have bit the bullet and upgraded to an electric washer bottle. One saving grace was this thread that I...

I fill old socks with cat litter and hid them out of site in various locations, works a treat. Used or unused cat litter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Your kidding me right??......... :lol: Just in case your not, I prefer unused as the smell of cat piss plays havoc with my sinuses ;)

Thanks Rusty

Still after a Lhd instrument panel if you have one yet? Cheers

I have one for my 1776 although still to fit it yet so can't comment on reliability or performance for now. I decided to get it set up on a rolling road so I don't cock anything up. From the research I did they seem like a good solid bit of kit with not to many bad stories considering how long...

Thanks for posting his Number VV, just had a chat with him :D

I lost 3lb in sweat on my drive home from getting the bus, think it was my 1st question......How to turn it down :lol: The US plate that I have in the front window was getting so hot it was causing a burning rubber smell from the window seal's!! Your right what you say though the new ones I...

So whats a complete new re wire supply and fit coming in at roughly? Not a job I'm going to be doing anytime soon but would be nice to get a rough idea for future budgets. My wiring has set me back 3 breakdowns all sorted fairly quickly but it would be nice to get that piece of mind when setting...
