    Soles 30-31 and SVDA

    Completely agree here. Over the last 10 years of ownership I have tried a few things from a 009 with ignitor2 to a full billet Pertronix (never happy with that at all). Fitted a Bluetooth 123 distributor 3 years ago & it has been faultless. Worth the investment & has paid for itself in terms...

    hot starting problem-coil

    From personal experience, I would stay away from Pertronix, I have had 2 failed coils & a Billet distributor fail within 6 months of each other. Bosch Blue all the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Rear brake light

    I thought thus one is the same, but I could be mistaken https://www.bus-ok.de/Type2-bay-Reversing-or-Indicator-Light-Bulb-Holder-for-VW-07-71-05-79-OEM-partnr-311953071 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I went with the 3 gauge option, screwed into the underside Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Cab Windows jamming after refurb

    But don’t do that if you are planning on having any paintwork done anytime soon. Silicone is a body shop’s worst nightmare.

    Oil temp sender/ gauge choices

    It all depends on your setup. I have an external oil cooler flitted & one of the connectors has a blanking plug to take the sensor so it was quite easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Oil temp sender/ gauge choices

    I have tried the sump plug type (VDO) & found them to be very inaccurate. I tried 2 different VDO gauges & they both were reading under by quite a bit. (Tested using a boiling kettle & wiring) Only when I googled it did I find there were a few people that saw the same. I ended up using a Stack...

    Red 9 Twin wishbone coilover suspension

    I have had a RED9 for about 8 years & have driven 20,000+ miles on it. There are a few people that will offer their opinions & haven’t actually driven/owned a bus with it fitted. I still absolutely love it, I, like a few people had a steering box changed (free by RED9) to an updated one as...

    JK Tacho fitment...

    You would need a form of adapter I think. I have this one & it fits straight in. https://www.vwheritage.com/ac957041-smiths-original-style-tachometer-6000rpm-dashboard-mounted-grey-vw-spare Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Fitting deluxe waistline trim

    It will come off using heavy gauge fishing line drawn along between the body & trim. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Brake Pedal Resting Position.

    Ok so this may be a blindingly obvious question, but on a 71 with a factory servo fitted, should the brake pedal position when at rest be at the very top, in line with the clutch pedal ? Mine was always about an inch or more below, but after fitting a new Servo & pedal pushrod (from Butty's...

    Introducing Mr Brightside's Midlands Makeover............

    So, Last year when Brightside was sitting patiently in the car park of the MOT centre, waiting for the test, the owner of garage next door reversed into the back of him. To cut a long, long story short, the driver denied it, then when faced with CCTV footage agreed, but wanted his body shop...

    DRLA Rolling Road recommendations.

    So, my van was running quite rich, & after speaking with Eurocarb, I purchased a new set of chokes & jets. Despite my best efforts with carb balancer & flowmeter, just cannot get the engine running as sweet as it should. It's much better when cold, popping & backfiring when hot. Had it to...
