I've found a guy on US Ebay making doghouse sealing frames or 'Hoover Bits' (named after the late lamented vw guru Bob Hoover) mine is missing, I have a '71 twinport 1600 with doghouse cooler, but a big gap around the base where the Hoover Bit should be (why would someone decide to bin this...

ebay 034 turned up today, German Bosch well chuffed packed it off to Lee at H&H for rebuild :D

:oops: Hmmphh :oops:

Hi, yes it's definitely better than the 009 I had before. Anyone had any dealings with H&H in Birmingham ?

Thanks so much, feel like I'm getting somewhere with this and optimistic she'll run as she should with Volkbitz carb and vacuum working really appreciate it

Thanks a lot I have spoken to someone called Tim recently, wonder if it was your man there. Latest plan is to get the Solex on, connect up and time the current dizzy. Meanwhile I've bought a Bosch 0231 170 034 core and sending it to H&H in Birmingham UK to be rebuilt. Now trying to work out...

Not sure if this is the right port for the vacuum advance if it's not what might it be and why don't I have one top right like everyone else !? maybe I do, and it would explain a lot ;)

There's a port on the side of the carb below and to the left of the idle speed adjuster, the vacuum advance is attached to that. I was surprised that the gear drive turned my dizzy round a quarter turn relative to the old 009 too. Can't see how I'd change that though ? It's got two offcentre...

Thanks for the advice how will I know a 'bus' dizzy from another ? She is a European bus, engine not original though strictly speaking I don't know for sure I have a dual port, just know it looks like this :

Just pulled the plugs to fit the 'correct' NGK B5HS plugs with the 12mm reach as per the spec in the workshop manual the old plugs are NGK B5ES and have a much longer reach - 3/4 of an inch what's that about ? could I have Mexican heads or something ?

Hi folks, just splashed out on a volksbitz rebuilt german Solex 34pict3 to replace my leaky (nearly new!) Bocar 34/3. Awaiting delivery in a few days. Also I wasn't convinced by the vacuum from the bocar. I recently replaced my 009 with a cheap svda from powerspark which is much better than...

Wanted : NOS/rebuilt dizzy 0231 137 035/036 VW 113 905 205T

I'd be tempted for sure at those prices second the 'charge your battery properly' Use a 4-step electronic charger from the mains whenever possible and never leave your van for months without a charger conditioning the battery. Also, don't be taken in my fancy battery gimmicks, they're all...

Got a little box of tricks from Germany in the post this morning : http://www.kemo-electronic.de/en/Car/Modules/M148A-Battery-guard-12-V-DC.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'm hoping it'll turn off my leisure battery circuit when charge drops threateningly low Only tricky...

Spoke to Peter at Sterling products yesterday who advised me not to use the split diode I'd already bought with such a low powered generator, that the voltage drop across the diode would compromise headlight brightness (!), lucky I only paid a tenner for it. So hanging on for a Sterling battery...

Thanks guys I have a diode from sterling products, rather than a relay but sounds like I should be ok to charge both batteries from a dynamo The diode means the two batteries are never connected so no problem drawing off from main sounds like the cheap option will be fine other option was...

Hi Folks, I've been shying away so far from asking my '68 dynamo to charge a leisure battery as well as my starter battery. But it would be nice. I have a 110ah leisure that I charge from the mains before a trip and from hookup should I get it. It runs the radio, fridge ignition (not the...

Haveacamper, which cupboard did you plump for ? I'm thinking right-hand under the table. But I suppose could easily be where the water tank & footpump is , if I re-site the tank and footpump in the nextdoor cupboard ... I think that's the plan then, cut down to the floor and hope the cupboard...
