Hi - what sort of bed are the hinges for? Thanks mike

Has anyone seen a microbus with a 3 point seat belt on the middle bench folding seat next to the sliding door? It has the factory seat belt mounts with white plastic plugs in them. I can see on the other side, I can fit the 3 point belt, but on the folding seat side next to the door, the mounts...

Yep - he is helping me out :-) Got to get the van out in this weather and clean it up a bit - first time it's seen sunshine I think!

Hi, Rang my insurers up to try and put an agreed valuation on my van given the large amount of work done to rebuild the van and they are insisting i get a valuation on headed paper from an official club or a 'specialist'. I do all my own work so have never used any specialists! And i'm also...

Hi - Still looking for both of these! Thanks

Thanks - I wasn't going to fit any aftermarket springs - just put in a less worn one. Fittedd new big end bearings but bought some 20w50 oil to stick in it. Have to admit didn't check side clearance but rods dropped fell uniformly. Engine is in the van now so just connecting all the bits up and...

Got my new engine off the stand tonight and stuck the 1641 on there so got a video finally ! Considering its been sat on my garage floor for a couple of weeks, its started up first time and idled no worries. This was pretty much stone cold. The rattle you hear when i walk around is just some...

So I finally have some oil pressure but maybe not enough yet! I splashed out and bought a new oil pressure gauge and a sender. I also removed both oil relief springs and changed the shorter control one for one from another engine - mine was 30mm - other one was 32mm. Both plungers moving well...

Scratch what i put above - let it idle for a while to get properly hot up to 80 degrees and the gauge i have is actually showing less than 0 bar although it does rise when you rev it. It did rise nearly a bar though when cold at idle so the improvements i made to the oil pump install had an...

Thanks -this is my first engine build from scratch learning every minute and appreciate any advice! :-) Put it all back together this morning and ran it up - got a whole extra bar of pressure at cold idle - 3 bar. Went down to just over a bar at hot idle so still not where i would want it to...

Also - just measured the gasket I used - is 0.012. I have 3 spare cover gasket - one is 0.009 and the other two 0.004 - talk about consistency - guess which one I'll be using when I put it back together!
