If the top wire on the gauge is brown that one should be earth and the yellow wire should go to the fuel tank sender. However, should be easy enough to test each wire with a multimeter one should be a short to earth and the other should be open or some resistance depending on the amount of fuel...

Thanks Abel. I forgot to mention I am using a CSP Bellcrank link on the carbs and a 4 into 1 exhaust. I won't be ditching the heads just yet (cost me a lot of money last year) they are running long reach spark plugs and have 54 cc chambers. I did notice a big increase in torque and...

Abel, thanks for your input. How heavy is your Bus? Not sure, its a standard Dormobile early bay with lightweight furniture and 3/4 rock n roll bed (no spare wheel). What is your cruising speed on motorway? 60 - 65 At what revs do you normally change gears? Between 2k / 3k depending on engine...

Hi all. I currently run a 1776 but will be tearing it apart in the new year due to low oil pressure when hot, issues. Current specs: Stroke 69mm Bore 90.5 Cylinder Head: CB performance 044 40 x 35.5mm 90.5 valves 1:1.1 rocker ratio Carburettor: Twin Weber ICT 34's idle jet 55 Main jet 160...

Awesome job on the roof.

Thanks. Already got commercial tyres, will play about with pressures. Also will probably go down the uprated anti-roll bar route.

What's the consensus on fitting coil over shocks to the front suspension of a camper? My bus wallows a lot in cornering.

Discovered it is 18x1.5. Fitted one of these, a lot easier than the old VW slotted one:

Can anyone tell me the thread size of the "oil relief" screw please. Thanks

Thanks everyone.

I am thinking about installing an electric fuel pump (huco-low-pressure-12v-fuel-pump-133010). I realise that I need a relay to control the power to the pump. Does anyone have a diagram (and part numbers) to show how to do this including the function of cutting power to the pump if the engine...

If you don't have a diagnostic socket this should help:

I have fitted one of those intermittent wiper modules, along with replacing the vacuum wash with an electric one. All in the original switch. Works great.

Thanks for the replies, but I meant rotational play, how much is too much?

Had the bus gearbox out to change the driveshaft oil seals. On reinstalling I notice there is some side to side play in the driveshafts. Question is, how much side to side play should there be on the driveshaft? Also If I have to replace, anyone had any experience of these...

This may help, doesn't give colours but does state what tabs are for what function.

Thanks Raveboy. Do you have part numbers or where you got the items from?

Has anyone fitted "Autolinea CB 044" heads. If so what spark plugs have you used. I have just bought a pair of these heads from Machine 7, they recommend "Ngk DP8EA-9" but I have heard that they may be too cold. My engine is 1776 with twin ICT carbs, so not a race machine by any imagination...

I already have an electric one in the cab, but not sure how accurate it is. I wanted to fit a mechanical one on an adaptor from the existing outlet to see what the actual pressure is.

As my engine is out of the bus and in pieces I thought I would add the Hoover bit except that its £25 on the interweb thing. So I decided to make my own. First one I made to the dimensions from a link on here, turns out to be massively too big. Mk 2 to my dimensions:
