Thanks for the responses guys, they are fully seated as I had to make up some replacement end caps after they popped off. Matty, can you explain why over tightening the grub screws would result in wear, the ends are sleeves aren't they? So surely the torque on them grub screws should be...

Evening, Just wondering if anyone has had or is having the same issues as I am with the RED9 EZ Rider kit (torsion leaf replacement bars + coilovers). I have got a fair bit of play in the top arms, which would appear to be caused by wear in the Red9 bars. The beam has always been well greased...

How bad are the cracks you have got? I filled a few in on my dash with black milliput, its not perfect but with a bit of time you could replicate the texture somewhat with a cocktail stick before it dries. Sent from my Wileyfox Swift 2 using Tapatalk

Probably was, it'll be 304 stainless which isn't suitable for a corrosive environment (I.e. salted roads).. 316 stainless is significantly more expensive and isn't usually required for exhausts. Although it will see salt water for some period of its life, its minimal and shouldn't corrode...

I don't think WD40 is entirely rubber safe, silicone spray is the way to go with this one. Did exactly the same thing on my bus recently. I can't actually open the quarter light anymore though, the new 3/4 window and quarter seal are that tight. Sent from my Wileyfox Swift 2 using Tapatalk

I have gone every year on the Sunday since it started. It is very watercooled based, but there are some very well presented watercooled cars in the show halls that are worth a look. I'll be on the Leeds Dub Nuts club stand I think in my bay, come and say hello if you see me! I think because...

You should be able to get a mount for the westy roof bars.. That's the sort of thing a lot of people use on landys and stuff. I've got a mag mount on my tin top so can't advise any further than that though.. I've got an old 40ch FM in my bus, there's quite a lot of talk on the radios in...

And/or are the front indicators wired up to the 21w side of the double pin bulbs? Sent from my Wileyfox Swift 2 using Tapatalk

DIY solution to the 123Tune yes. But external to the distributor. I'm not entirely sure you could trigger the amethyst from the 123 dizzy, I haven't looked at one in detail. I assume the 123 electronic module is self contained and cannot be swapped for points or such if it goes wrong? It would...

Correct, its not a stock advance mechanism. So to clarify, its essentially a stock shiny dizzy with the advance system welded up and the vac can removed. In reality, these items are just omitted from the system all together, but that's the idea.. The advance is controlled electronically, in a...

The cost differential is about £170... The 123Tune is approx. £350 and amethyst is £180 from SimonBBC. The 123VW-R pre-set ignition curve dizzy is £260. The cost of a 123 dizzy is ridiculous, when you consider the cost of a crank fired ignition system, which is much superior in terms of spark...

Not entirely convinced by the 123 distributors with the selectable ignition curves. Regardless of the curve your always likely to be making a compromise somewhere, I created this guide http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?t=72412 for the Aldon amethyst module, which will work with your...

Generator probably wants polarizing if its been sat a while.. Method: To polarize a generator, connect a jumper wire from the (DF) terminal on the generator to the generator frame. Remove the fan belt, then connect a wire from the positive terminal on the battery to the (D+) terminal on the...

Just want to add to this my comments, given the link to my thread. Any intake, exhaust, or other significant change to the stock engine layout will change the volumetric efficiency, thermal efficiency, combustion flame speed(due to fuel density etc), static and dynamic compression ratio etc...

Just use the standard filter head adaptor wax stat style me. Recommendation from me for the maxi 3 outlet/inlet, get two NPT to male AN-8 / 3/4-16 UNF JIC fittings and loctite/seal those into the pump outlet. Then get two AN-8 / 3/4-16 UNF JIC swivel female fittings to socketless hose. Use...

No you haven't. That's the point of the flaps in the fanshroud.. The oil cooler might get full air flow all of the time, but when the oil is cold the vast majority of the oil bypasses the cooler through the pressure relief valves because the viscosity of the oil is high and the pressure drop...

Thanks Johnny. Ultimately I guess these things are just something else to tinker with, but the additional power and efficiency gains can be quite large as I'm sure you are aware! Sent from my Wileyfox Swift 2 using Tapatalk

Right.... this is the spreadsheet I have put together to compare multiple advance curve layouts available on the internet and an ideal curve calculated based on the information on Volksbolts that has been used to calculate a type 4 ideal advance curve. The ideal advance curve reference is...

Thanks guys, ordered a Beru rotor and cap from CarParts4Less late last week. Quality appears to be good and is working well! Sent from my Wileyfox Swift 2 using Tapatalk

Don't know if you can buy the device. But its essentially a push button switch with a bulb in it. You can press the switch to momentarily check the bulb is working, but it will also light if one of the brake circuits is not working. My bus had one in the dash when I bought it, but it damaged...
