i understand the seals are important but how tight should they fit? i fitted all new stuff to my engine and there are small air gaps between tinware and valance seal :shock: dont know how to rectify as the tinware must be a little small :roll:

can anyone tell me what the operating difference would be from a '7' to a '8' plug? after a run the other day mine started to run like a dog on tickover and was chuffing out dark black smoke, which i believe is to be fuel not oil. i have just whipped out a plug and it is running wr7cc and was...

froggy i am going to fit a Till exhaust in a few days so will have a ceramic mondo back box for sale. i will probably throw in the header foc as the diameter will be different and of no use to me. i havent thought about a price yet but if you are interested let me know and i will think of a...

johnny thanks for your reply. i checked my oil last night and it is still where it was about 300 miles ago so good news there, cant be burning any. when i started the bus there was no smoke at all, abeit blue or black and it ticked over fine once warmed up for a few minutes. i think you are...

till how much posted to essex? also is the exhaust supported anywhere apart from the manifold mount and do you polish out any of the welds?

as this is my first aircooled i am hoping this is just an engine quirk but i am pretty sure it isnt so was wondering if anyone can comment. in my way back from a nice relaxed weekend in wells next the sea i stopped near my house for some fuel (about 2 hours away) and the engine sounded like it...

if it wasnt for us going to norfolk for the weekend i would have definately popped over, shame :( hope it goes well for you :P

any pics?

hello can you please tell me how long the rack is? cheers dan

:lol: i knew someone wouldnt be able to resist a tit response, congrats to araon :lol: tezzah, how tight do you have to pull it and does it stretch much? - no pun intended :shock:

anyone got any tips on how to do so :roll: all comments welcome, i am sure there will be some :lol:

trikky cheers for doing that, i have just measured mine and its 31cm, therefore a 4" drop. as its only a mild drop i think the ball joints will be ok. i think the way forward is to get 2.5" drop spindles and put the beam to the top adjuster, i can then raise / lower the back on the adjustable...

spoke to T2D today about the problem and they said it cant be their slammed shocks as they use them on everything they do, from 1" to 6" drops. they said the spax adjustables are no better, am i a cynic :shock: T2D also said even if it has slight rake it will bounce about, i understand the...

i went with peter best (for insurance i must add :lol: ) http://www.peterbestinsurance.co.uk/ClassicVehicles.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; from memory paying about £160 for comp, european breakdown and no quibble valuation of £20k

trikky thanks for your reply i think it is bouncing due to the T2D shocks being too soft. my thoughts are to buy some adjustables and then i can have a play around with them, can anyone recommend some good adjustables? unfortunately i cant use dropped spindles with my beam. if i used...

just after some advice as this is my first van and it is driving me mad!!! i have fitted a 3" narrowed beam on my '71 camper which is sitting relatively low (580mm from floor to mid bottom of front arch) with T2D slammed shocks up front i have been zipping around in it lately and the front is...

hopefully it wont be the same for you but i went down 2 splines on the rear and when i put the engine back in the spring plates had hardly any travel. not too sure but i believe to go down 2 splines at the rear you'll need to notch the spring plates, someone else on here will advise. i ended...

if you have no luck with a genuine item i have an aftermarket jobby for sale i can provide photos if required cheers dan
