    Air ride? Who's got it? Who did it? How much!

    I would disagree Johnny, I have Gabriel shocks front and back and it's lovely. It can cost you a £1000 but mine cost nothing as I bought multiples of everything and sold it on as a kit and pairs of shocks. I have viair comp , paddle switches and gauges. All the fittings are cheap online. You...

    Need a new helmet for welding - which one?

    I've got a cracking auto mask from ebay, 191269579185 had it about 2 years. I also have a £200 3m mask at work and for its purpose they are as good as each other. My welder who's been at it for nearly 50 years even bought a couple of cheap ones, as he was impressed with the grind function...

    Horse shoe plates

    No, the whole point of them is to lower the rear but not change anything. I ran stock rears for years with them with also 1 spline down. http://www.wagenswest.com/partstore/index.php/bus-suspension/1968-79-bus-rear-end/68-79-bay-window-horse-shoe-plates.html

    GOPRO vs SJCAM

    I have a sj4000 wifi, it is excellent for 60 quid. I've had it nearly 2 years now, quality is great even snorkeling about 6m down the quality is great. Mounted on the side of the bus and controlled by phone works great too, the suction mount I have its any good but on the dash is solid. I don't...

    Solex 34 carb & manifold value

    I've been looking at these for the last couple of days, if it needs a rebuild then i don't think it has much value. Some guy sold 4 for £80, and the manifold well i've had one forsale at brighton breeze for about 7 years for £10 and i still have it. Don't bin them though.

    Cheers Mike I thought the hills would be troublesome, i have a 1600, 1:1.25 ratio and twin dells which runs like a dream. I didn't want to put to much load on it. Well i have a few hills to try round here then decide if i need to start saving for something bigger.

    Tuning engine help

    Have you got a timing gun? set it 10 degrees at idle and check 28-30degrees at 3500rpm. valve clearances are done with the engine in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wtNARLdF58" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; watch this, should be clear enough.

    Tuning engine help

    Have you checked you valve clearances? incorrect setting can cause hesitation. Could be an air leak, check your rubber boots on the manifold. It could also be a number of other things, what dizzy do you have?
