    1969 - GGL 468G

    It seems odd to start a thread now that my ownership has ended but here goes. I have no pics of the old girl as she started out (shameful I know) but as this was some 12 years ago & before I'd embraced digital technology, there's a strong chance at some point I'll find some in a random suitcase...

    Empi 34s

    Now, I know Empi's aren't the best but I have them on the bus. They've been on about 6 years & are starting to wear on the spindles. Does anyone know if there's a repair kit for the spindles? Or are they scrap? I'm happy with them it's just that they're starting to weep. I'd rather not chuck a...

    Rear seat belts

    I'm after some rear retractable seat belts in grey but not sure what length I need or how to fit them. I'm guessing the reel end fits on the wheel arch & the buckle end (again not sure on length) attaches to the rear bulkhead but not sure how the top bracket attaches? Any help appreciated...

    Coils?

    Hi all I've just had an accuspark electronic ignition fitted & been told that my coil will fail very quickly as they tend to when electronic ignitions are fitted. Does this seem right? Why would it use/produce more power? Surely there's no difference? If I do need to replace the coil, what...

    Crackling Radio..

    Quick question... The radio in the bay seems to crackle/buzz as the revs rise & fall. I think it's because the alternator is interfearing with the radio? I'm not 100% but thats my thoughts. Can anyone confirm if this is likely? If so, can you recomend a bit of kit to stop it? It's a modernish...

    Exhaust Change

    I've changed my exhaust on my Van (1776cc) from a crappy/noisy monza 4 tip, to a standard bettle exhaust. It now runs a little sluggish, choked almost. Will this end up over heating on a long run due to restrictition or will it just run a bit sluggish? Cheers..
