Hi, Has anyone used the Brakes International calipers? They seem to be considerably cheaper than VW Heritage and Custom & Commercial. Just wondering if there's a catch or if their pricing is just more realistic?

It's worth a bit of research on the filters - some of the cheap ones have a once-off bypass. Too much pressure and it pops internally so you've no filtration until you replace it. I use Mann filters for the Volvo B18 & B21 engines. They're good quality and don't burst under pressure on cold...

It looks like others have had issues with the ATE one also: http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=782863" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'd love to know what will fit because its on my list of things to sort out....

Thanks for the response - I think that I'd be willing to trade a little drum life for better stopping power. I've got a servo and front discs which look to be working ok but I'm going to have to go through the whole system as it doesn't stop as well as I'd expect it to. I had one drum off...

Hi, Does anyone know of a UK source for semi-metallic rear brake shoes like this: http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Rear-Brake-Shoes-1971-Type-2-211-609-537J-p/ss-374.htm?CartID=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They're made by Kymco I think...

Does anyone know where I can buy front badge inserts that are slightly bigger than standard to fit the holes where the threaded inserts for the spare wheel mount used to be? I don't want to tape/stick the badge - I'd rather use inserts if possible

Hi, I've PM'd anyone who expressed an interest - if anyone else is interested then let me know and I'll pass on the details.

He's confirmed a price of £12 posted to the UK. I'll PM anyone who's expressed an interest with his contact details.

Great - he's away for a few days but I'll get him to confirm a price when he's back.

Hi, I'm not sure yet - he's just done the ones in the photo. I offered to post here for him as I couldn't find any to replace the one on my '71 so I thought others might be in the same boat. I doubt that they'll be hugely expensive though. If you're interested put your name down - no...

I was looking for a replacement Westy roof vent cover (the one that covers the water tank vent) and was pointed in the direction of a guy who can make them. He's made up a few as a first run and the results are really impressive. There's a little flexibility regarding colour - see the...

If you could beg/borrow/steal a leak down test kit or find some way of pumping air through the spark plug hole you could check for valve leaks (doesn't always show that much on a normal compression test but sorting out stuff like that can make your engine a little perkier and can also make your...

You shouldn't really have to repolarise it unless its been sitting for a while. I've found in the past that the instructions for repolarising dynamos by just sparking wires off terminals doesn't always do it. You need to run it as a motor - try these instructions...

Thanks for your help. Where did you move your watertank to?

Thanks - is it something like SR70F-T on this link? http://e.dominohosting.biz/dca/mpsdb01.nsf/Refrigeration01!OpenView&RestrictToCategory=ENGEL%20FRIDGE/FREEZERS" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Is there a way of getting around the water tank issue?

Hi, I've a '71 Westy which has a nice clean original interior. I want to keep it looking the way it is but want to replace the original cool box under the sink with a 12V compressor fridge but keep the veneered door for the cool box. I've seen on other posts here that the water tank can cause...

I bought this kit from C&C and am delighted with it: http://www.customandcommercial.com/details.aspx?id=9405&Sub_Category=1364&group=61&category=210" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I didn't fit it (the painter did) but he had no complaints about fitting it and it looks original...

That looks really well. Mine is a tintop so there's a limit to what I can hide but you've given me plenty to go on - thanks ;)

Cheers - so what's involved? I'd have guessed that I'd need to run a new supply from the leisure battery but can it be done without pulling the interior apart?
