Sound advice! I had similar running problems when I rebuilt the Solex on my '67 bug - the idle control jet solenoid was faulty as it turned out; I replaced it and the carb idled and ran like a dream (you deffo need to set the cable up properly first, though). Let us know how you get on... ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: None taken!! :lol: I hope the buyer is happy with it - I thought £17 posted was a fair price ;)

That looks interesting - what's the thinking behind adapting a water-cooled block? ;)

:) ;)

You sparked my interest there for a mo' - but that's for a '73 model year van isn't it?? ;)

The distributor model numbers should be stamped on the outside (metal part) of the distributor body - the lettering is fairly small so a bright torch and keen eye are sometimes needed. Once you've found the number you can look it up here: http://www.oldvolkshome.com/ovhignbo.htm and more info...

Go on then - £20 posted... ;)

Your 1600TP should have had a 34 carb anyway - it should run much better without any flat spots (especially with a stock vacuum advance dizzy). ;)

Got a nice one with the clip if you're interested - Graham at FBI was after it but never got back to me... £17 posted - pics below: Juss ;)

Just spotted this - £200 and new, bargain! (No connection to seller): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-type-2-red9design-spax-front-beamcoilover-kit-/160569526720?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2562b089c0 ;)

Can I just confirm - we're talking about a badge based on this one in the original post?: All that needs to be done is change "911S" for "Bay" and amend the years on the badge? ;)

Graham L - 2 (possibly some to hold in stock as well) Easy - 1 Justin & Muttley - 1

Great idea - love it!! 8) 8) 8) ;)

I'd be tempted to rebuild an old one rather than go for a new carb - all the new ones (Bocar, Empi) I've seen have been rubbish! Get an old one, strip and clean it well, put new spindle bushes in, rebuild with new gaskets etc - perfect!! ;)

I'd have taken these off your hands but I can't collect - way too far for me... ;)

I won this iTunes voucher at work :D but I've got an Android phone now and will be selling my iPod soon so this is redundant :cry: . Still has the security 'scratch-off' panel intact of course!! Will be posted via 1st Class recorded (included in £22 price) - I was going to stick it on eBay...

Hi Andy, I've taken a look at the carb - the main jet is a 0.0125 (compared to your 0.02?) but the carb was originally fitted to a SP1300 so this could be the reason - the main jet carrier is fine if you want to give it a try. The carb has seen better days and I can't vouch for the spindles etc...

My wifes' bug runs the same carb and I'm pretty sure there's a spare at home. If you can wait til later I'll take a look for you... ;)

What a fantastic transformation - it looks amazing!! 8) 8) 8) ;)

I'd be very wary of rebuilding your calipers without the plates! I rebuilt mine last year and it appears that the plates have a pressing that locates on the piston - this stops the piston from rotating as it moves in and out. I'm not an engineer but I can't see that VW would have put it in...
