    Remote Servo - where to mount it ?

    So finally decided to update the anchors after another numpty pulled out in front of me on a roundabout. Gone for the VW Jim kit, anyone got a pic of best mounting place ? I have belly pans fitted (from factory) so also wondering if vac pipe will fit through were loom runs ?

    71 front disc brakes

    Justkampers do the kit to fit late calipers to 71 only spindles - its basically 2 late calipers and 4 spacers for the bolt holes. Fitted this to my 71 and just had to grind a bit off the calipers for clearance.

    Fuel Gauge Head Scratcher

    I have a late bay tank and sender fitted to my 71 bus and have finally got round to fitting a late bay fuel gauge and backing plate in an effort to get a needle that doesn't wave about like a drowning man's arms. However, gauge reads full and only have about 25 litres in the tank. I have tried...

    Both indicators flash on dash

    Yes both dash lights should flash at the same time on early bays, thats they way they were wired at the factory. I seem to remember someone on this forum coming up with a way to get them to flash individually so worth a search if it bothers you. Personally if I get to the stage where I can't...

    Oil filler / breather without drain tube

    Thanks Karlos, well spotted. I have shortened it since that pic as it was also getting in the way of the dipstick too.

    Oil filler / breather without drain tube

    I went for a CB Performance breather tower, comes with blanking plugs if you don't need to use all the connectors. I have it connected to both air filters and petrol pump stand for positive crank ventilation, makes it easy to fill oil using small jug or one with flexi spout.

    Exhaust fumes

    Could be tailgate seal damaged or tailgate not shutting properly. There are adjustable stops on each side to make it sit nice and flush when closed. If you are replacing the seal make sure you get a good quality one as the cheap versions don't fit properly and the rubbers too hard to give an...

    Brake reservoir pipe question

    If you have the small round reservoir that's located above the windscreen washer tank just above the kick panel then you will need the 33 inch one, don't forget the rubber seals for both ends and the plastic hose clips - dont use metal hose clips as you can over tighten them leading to the...

    Need help with 71 accelerator pedal linkage

    Another vote for Buttys Bits, I now have a smooth graduation rather than the "stomp on it to go" I had got used to. Excellent communication and delivery too.😃

    Warming fuel

    Wire reinforced fuel pipe maybe, or a high nylon content? As Mike suggests probably best to change dizzy cap and leads, I had similar sparks round cap which I only noticed as it got dark - wondered why I'd had a persistent misfire 😀

    Touch up paint

    If you know the name and paint code then Halfords can get it mixed for you if they don't stock it. They still have L90D Pastel White in rattle cans for example.
