    1968 RHD Rot Box

    I have been looking into brake light switches as well, been looking at other solutions as wondered if it was possible to remove the pressure brake light switches from the equation and use a mechanical switch attached to the brake pedal somewhere. Turns out it is, I haven't done it yet but did...

    Fellows front discs?

    Hello I have the fellows kit and it’s fantastic, been on for a year now still stops really well. Haven’t driven a bus with the csp ones but I decided they were worth the extra cash for 4pot callipers and ease of swapping between Porsche and 205 pattern. Can’t recommend them highly enough...

    rusty old nail to sow's ear

    Removing paint layers

    You can do each layer with nitromoors if you are careful and don’t leave it on too long, and scrub with light wire wool/ sponge scrubber. Takes a lot of hard work to just get one layer at a time, can be worth it if you think of paint still under there / not too much filler. Ours had about five...

    Disc Brake upgrade help

    Another vote for the fellows kit. It is ££££ but well worth it imho. I wanted to stay wide 5 but also has the advantage of easily fitting porsche wheels if you wanted too at a later date (simply by moving studs into pre machined holes). The stopping power is great I would say a servo is not...

    So, talk to me about image hosting sites

    I also upload via tapatalk app with no problems from iphone. Also wondering if you could use Google photos, think you would need a gmail account and to make your pictures/album public this should then give you links to pictures in the usual way. You may have to add "?.jpg" at the end of the...

    Brake upgrade

    This article has some interesting info http://www.wcengineering.com/articles/brakes.html Suggests that disc diameter defiantly does have an effect on stopping power but not much more detail than that. Also that in terms of multi pot calipers vs single it seems to say this gives more even...

    Brake upgrade

    The fellows kit uses new Willwood 4pot callipers and can either be wide five or Porsche 130. I may be biased as have this on my bus but think it’s awesome, spent a long time deliberating over this Porsche, wagon west in the states etc. red9 do a kit for 112 which bolts onto 73onwards spindles...
