Right bare with me this is gonna be a bit long winded. I apologise in advance maybe worth getting a brew and if need the loo best go now :shock: I rebuilt my 1600tp motor about 2.5 k miles ago, spec is 1835cc Engle 110 cam 1.25:1 ratio rockers Balanced std crank, rods and flywheel HP Oil...

Not likely but thought I'd ask

How do you stop the creaking and groaning from the bushes and shock mounts? I swear mine was doing a bad violin solo of God save the Queen this afternoon?

Right I've had enough of the annoying flat spot caused by my 009 dizzie. I'd like to see if I can fit a vac advance one. Problem is I don't have a air take off on my manifolds. I run Kadron 40's. So do I need to tap both fanny moulds and run the va from both. Or will 1 do?

As the title says guys. Anything considered. If alloy must be able to fit with fluted rear drums. Prefer steels. Let me know what yer got Cheers all

Guys. Major cock up on my part. Ive fitted red9 twin wishbone front sussy with discs. My rims are 14" wide 5, 5" rim width. Ive just purchased new white wall 185 80 101/102 load rating tyres. Had the rims sprayed and new stainless hub caps. Now the fek'n things dont clear the calipers. Ive got...

Want to get the wheels powder coated. Anybody got any recommendations in and around the Southampton area? Cheers

Hi guys. Haven't been around for sometime. Rosie has been sat up while funds rebuild again for the next part of the puzzle. Which brings me back to the title. I've been trying to contact Red9 design. Yet the phone is never manned and the in box is now full and they don't return e mails. Are...

I knew I was in for some teething issues when I got the bus back on the road but this is getting silly now. Went to move the bus this afternoon and the oil filter appears to have split around it's plate where it screws on. I caught it straight away there's no damage to the engine I noticed the...

So I'm bombing around the new forest last night after giving the bus new shocks and a oil change when one of my HT leads pops off. No big shakes I hear you cry but it's done something daft to the rev counter. Since the rebuild and changing of 3rd and 4th ratios 50mph has been reading 3k rpm...

I want to improve the sound proofing over the engine and under the RR bed. So the stuff I use can't be to thick. What's the best stuff to use which doesn't break the bank

So renewal has come through on the bus £118 quid 10k agreed value 3k a year miles. So I rang them and said it now has a 1835cc motor,twin carbs,lairy cam and a stainless exhaust. I also want 5k miles a year and agreed value of 13k. They will phone me back tomorrow. So bets on how much they will...

Well it's only taking 8 months but Rosie moved under her own steam tonight with her new engine and box!!!. It's been a mammoth engine and box build. The gearbox was hangin. It jumped out of second, crunched into third and made a noise like a moaning demented zombie. Back lash was to say a little...

Directed at halfarsed engine machinists who can't be bothered to do the job properly. Silly ass didn't go deep enough when he bored the cases for the 92mm barrels so now the piston skirt hits the case. Were not talking by a little bit either. So I spent all day building a engine which tomorrow I...

What load rating is correct for our buses. Going from memory cars are (genially) 91 with mpv's being 94. Commercials tend to be 102. Can I use 94's on my bus legally? or do I need to stick with 102's

I want to expand on my interior a little. So I'm looking for somebody who's good with wood to give a idea of price etc. I'd love to get the guy who did the interior originally but his waiting list will be to long and his prices to high after I've paid out so much doing the engine. So what I want...

Here is the solution I know it's not a early but if you want to stand out in a crowd this is for you Not mine by the way http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1974-VW-Jurgens-Autovilla-/270918178780?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f13fb57dc#ht_500wt_1287

ooooo!!!! Dubfreeze tomorrow. BOING BOING BOING :bliss: :bliss: :bliss: I know I know it's only a show but I've been missing my bus. Hopefully I'll get the last of the bits for the engine and then WOOHOO!!!! Busisum is back in my life. So if you see a man who's as giddy as a kipper that be...

Or is there a group buy going to happen soon?

Nothing to big just a nice size camping trailer. Something which I can modify to take a couple of bike carriers on top. Anything considered as long as it's not a wreck. Cheers
