Hi I'm using a tow bar mounted Thule bike rack on my 69 Westy today, but I love to have a more retro looking rack. I have spent some time searching, and the only rack I found is this thread on Thesamba http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6707051&highlight=#6707051"...

Ambulance sliding door step restored and ready to be installed. The sliding door bracket sandblasted and treated with Ferrobet. I will blast once more before applying Epoxy primer and paint int with in the campers original color. I got the bellypan's installed on my camper. Does anyone know...

Hi Jallis, do you still keep the adjusters in the glove box? Time to get get your hands dirty and install them now - Winter time is maintenance time :!: I Installed mine a few weeks ago :lol: It was messy :oops: - Someone here on Earlybay says it takes the definition of messy to a new...

Upgraded brakes, new wheels and a bit of drop 8) Rear: Complete Vanagon/T25 drum brakes The guide pin in the back plates was larger, so the hole in the bearing housing had to be drilled out a bit. The wheel cylinders are bolted from behind, so the threads in the bearing hosing also had to be...

The West coast of Norway is nice. I know as I live here  Here is a link to a road trip one of the members of VWNorge did http://www.vwnorge.no/index.php/topic,41756.0.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Great pictures, route/map and you will probably understand most the text it...

I have used the car with the oil cooler mounted under the car until now. The oil temperature rises a bit when the car is driven at speeds above 90 km/t, but is stabile below 80 km/t even at the steepest hills. I think the fan is unable to draw air through the cooler when air is passing...

I got some small clearance issue with my VS superflow exhaust I could shorten the pipe but selected to cut of a smal pice of the tow bar and the tow bar bumper mount.

I found this thread on The Samba, where John at aircooled.net helps many users to jet their carburators correctly, but also some megasquirt users.. My AFR target was 14:1 at idle, 12.8 at WOT and 13:1 at power, but at light cruice my target was 14:1 That causes high exhaust temperatuires and...

The tow bar needed some modifications to fit together with the vintage speed exhaust. The second bolt hole for the bumper bracket had to be cut away. I will add a M8 bolt later. There is a tight fit between the bumper and the exhaust pipe, about 5mm I think but as long as it does not hit the...

New oil cooler with fan installed under the car. The fan is controlled by temperature switch in addition to a oil thermostat/bypass mounted Warm-up time is fine, and the temperature is stable between 92 and 95C. The fan has not started yet, so there should be a nice buffer for the hills :-)

Today I start tuning the engine. The Innovate LC1 WB sensor was giving either rich or lean on the trip to the VW meeting last weekend. Calibration did not help, and the Innovate motorsport forum is not working at the moment. After some googling I fond a new firmware, 1.2RC4 (beta), I upgraded...

I finished the engine installation last week, just in time for the yearly VW meeting we arrange. Fuel pump and filter is mounted over the gearbox, and the return from fuel pressure regulator enters a tee connector under the tank. It took some time to get air out of the system, but now it is...

The new horse in place :-)

The old engine is now out and the fuel tank has been removed for internal cleaning The 228mm flywheel / cluch was assembled, then thread on to the axle and rotated in the bellhousing. Picture of the bellhosing before modification. Scratches in paint shows where material needs to be removed...

Thanks! The sound of the Vintage Speed exhaust is a bit louder than what I expected on idle. The sound is deep though, and the sound changes when the engine revs up. The deep tones are more or less removed on higher revs. I am really happy with the exhaust My camera is not able to record the...

Here is my camper - use in a friends wedding.
