    Burning smell

    Tyre load rating

    Had a big blow out on the rear tyre this weekend. Tyre rating is 90S but some tyres seem to have 99T on them. However, i think the R14C is the key. Is the C a correct load rating? Is this enough for a T2 camper? Any advice would be appreciated before i buy a new one.

    Wanted - connector pipe from oil bath air filter

    I am after the connector tube from the oil bath air filter to the top of the engine (where the pancake filter originally sat). Does this have to be a solid metal tube or can i use a flexi card/metal tube as for the bottom bit (if you know what i mean)?? Does anyone have one or advice?
