If only it wasn't so close to Xmas - I'd happily of taken these off your hands :( Free bump! ;)

Hi Warren, Just checked my parts box and no joy I'm afraid - sorry duder! :( ;)

Can you post a pic of the part you need - I've got a box of carb bits I could check... ;)

No such thing as an embarassing question duder!! :lol: Yes, 2-4 inch (and sometimes more!) narrowed beams have a reduced front track by that amount. You don't necessarily need smaller wheels as a result, but you wouldn't narrow a beam without lowering the ride and it's this lowering that...

Thanks Spence - PM sent! ;)

Thanks for the help - I'm quite happy to put the 12v choke from my current carb onto the new 6v carb, I just wanted to check that it's a straight swap over job! cheers Justin ;)

Hi, I have a sale pending on the Solex 30PICT-1 carb I've been looking for - but it's a 6v model and I need to know if my 12v choke can be swapped over without any further modifications. Is anyone able to confirm this for me??? many thanks Juss ;)

Hi all, I really need a Solex 30PICT-1 carb for my '67 Beetle - I'm happy to clean and rebuild one if necessary but it must be complete and servicable. What ya got??? cheers Juss ;)

Just spotted this on eBay - could make a hard-looking ride: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volkswagen-VW-T2-Baywindow-Panelvan-High-top-roof-/140483733227?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b57ba6eb ;)

I thought it was just me :lol: I'm sure things are in hand... ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: Deserves a bump!! ;)

No pancakes for me - it's totally stock!! It conked out again today - I'm not sure the timing is out again and I'm going to investigate the dizzy clamp as it doesn't seem to be set the same from one day to the next! Starting to get fed up with it now though especially as the heating in my...

Count me in, all good! ;)

Thanks for the help Gadget! I've set up the timing again and starts (and restarts) as it should - but I don't feel like it's running quite right and I have icing on tha manifold which is something that hasn't happened before; I'm running a totally stock setup (stock air-filter, dizzy etc) but...

Hope the mods don't mind but it's a question about my '67 bug engine (it is aircooled though!). It refused to restart the other day after a very short trip so I moved its winter service forward a couple of weeks: I've replaced the coil, plugs, dizzy cap, rotor, points and condensor. I've set...

Now not seeing images either!! (maybe it's just me!) ;)

None for me either! :( :( ;)

:shock: :shock: :shock: Hope you're OK dude - bad news about the notch :( Hang in there... ;)

It's not tinworm that made the roof look like that!! :lol: :lol: My first car in 1990 was a '72 bug - I threw loads of cash at it and it still looked like **** (slopey headlights and wings, early rear wings and lights, 'W' decklid, lowered, purple wheels!!! I worked at a large restaurant at...

I need to set the timing on the '67 bug (1300cc) engine tomorrow but I can't remember if I do it with the vacuum advance tube removed (and blocked off at the manifold) or leave it on? I've set it up statically before but wanted to check it with a strobe if poss as it needs to be running just...
