I have a technical question about engine configuration, parts compatibility and compression ratio... I've bought a set of 87 mm barrels and pistons from VW heritage, along with some EMPI GTV2 heads (40 mm inlet 35.5 exhaust). My crankcase is a stock rebuild I think, crank stroke is 69 mm. Deck...

Hoping for some help from those wiser and with more experience of VW aircooled engines. I serviced my stock 71 bay about a month ago - oil change, re-set the valve clearances, new points, re-set the timing to about 7 degrees BTDC using John Muir method, new spark plugs, everything checked over...

I have a pair of original German-made Solex 32 PDSIT carburettors that came off a 1600 twinport, a 'pancake' type engine in a type 3 fastback if I remember correctly. I got them from a scrapyard about 25 years ago and they've been dry-stored since then but not used. I've still got most of the...

NOS, bought in about 1991 from a place called Limited Edition where I had a friend who worked there. These were believed to be some of the last available stock of German manufactured ones. They have served a couple of years on my beetle, and a couple more on my bay, but have mostly been stored...

I took these off my 1971 bay when I fitted a set of SSP alloys - they've been stored in my heated cellar ever since (I think about 4 years). Two of the tyres are really good: one is like new, with about 8 mm of tread right across the width, and another looks nearly new, about 7mm tread across...

Took a front undertray off years ago and never put it back. It's pretty crusty, but useable, not falling apart. If anyone wants it, if you give me a fiver you can come and pick it up - I'm in Sale, south Manchester area Better than taking it to the tip!

A part I bought in about 2011 but never fitted - it's been in my dining room ever since! Still in the plastic bag inside the cardboard box. I think I bought it from JK; the part number on the box is 211-611-021/AE. Looking for £35, plus post and packing (haven't worked out how much that would...

I took these off my 1971 bay when I fitted a set of SSP alloys - they've been stored in my heated cellar ever since (I think about 3 years). The tyres are useable, I think 2 of them have lots of tread and the other two are still ok - they certainly passed an MOT, and didn't do many more miles...

Hi there, apologies if this is an inappropriate forum or even an inappropriate question, but has anyone used Creative Trimmings, and if so would you recomend them? I was thinking of using them for some seat re-covering, new rear seat cushions, door cards etc, and also (if they would do it)...

Hi everyone, I bought my bus in August (a '71 Devon Sunlander Microbus) and we've been having a few troubles with the gearbox. At first I thought it might be the clutch cable, which was right at the end of its adjustment. So I changed that, and for a while it seemed better - or maybe that was...
