I've asked the same question about your other but how is the accuracy of the speedo on this one ?

How accurate is the speedo reading ?

The housing that sticks out of the hole ? Or the socket itself ? I have a westy one

I'll dig them out and send you some pics. Whats your email address for the pics ?

Are they the ones with the white/cream latches you push down or the the buttons in the middle you press ?

Or buy the drop spindles and plates for the back from transporterhaus and have a go yourself. Took me a day on my own (when it wasn't raining !)

Does anyone know where does wheel tracking/alignment done around the telford/shrewsbury area for a bus thats been dropped with horse shoe plates and drop spindles. Every where I call keep saying the same thing, "If we can't get to the top of the back wheel we can't do it". Only need this as...

WOO HOO!!! After an hour or so of playing around with the carb and trying every conceivable setup I could find on the internet I removed the idle jet and the auxiliary jet and cleaned them again with yet again no joy. I checked the jet sizes and thought I'd have a swap with some spare ones I...

Plain untreated, sand down with 600 grit and wipe with 3 coats of danish oil. Looks Mint and lasts forever

D B Trimmers are great. Dave is brilliant and will give honest advise on any ideas you have and is a wizard with a sowing machine. He did all mine and some extras, the quality is great and the price is very competitive

If your on a budget, as I was, the cheap coilovers from Coolair VW work really well at a fraction of the cost. I bought these with my drop spindles and they have never been a problem.

Can someone on here help me please, I am running a 31 pict 3 carb on a completely standard SP 1600 with a SVDA distributor. Full rebuilt engine, all new ignition system, plugs and leads, no vacuum leaks and fresh fuel. BUT overtime I come to a stop the engine stalls. It starts straight away and...

Ta for the replys people, was pretty sure it was pointless but the know all brother in law was positive he could do it. As usual it all ended up tits up and the engine had to come out. Gearbox swap 7 hours....... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :hang:

ButtyBits have started making front hinged westy pop top hinges and supports out of stainless https://www.facebook.com/335373445187/photos/pcb.10155538213360188/10155538192245188/?type=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm doing away with the relief valve though with the return adapter and banjo bolt

What would be a good oil pump upgrade to fit to my single port 1600 with bugpack 72 cooler kit. I don't believe that there'll be sufficient oil pressure when done so may as well replace while its in bits

I'm after a reconditioned long block and was wondering if anyone has had one from The Engine Shop. I'm thinking about getting the standard single port silver engine for £799 as my block has seen better days and both my heads have cracked between the valves.

Thanks for all the help folks. After a bit of head scratching and a lot of bouncing up and down in the back (ooh err Mrs!) I've found out that the std shockers are bottoming out. So a pair of standard shocks will be up for sale (only 6mths old) and I'll have to get some shorter ones. Any...

When you say every now and then do you mean when you hit bumps etc ?

This has probably been discussed plenty of times and if so I apologise but can't ring any info for toffee. Everytime I drive over a bump (plenty of them around Shropshire) there is a rather large bang coming from the N/S rear end. I've read it could be bearings but have no idea as it's the only...
