What’s everyone think of the new Alpine iLX-FD90D? It’d look pretty good in some vans who have a modern twist. The only issue for me, is possible theft as it’s a big unit and the screen is a bit ‘in your face’. https://www.facebook.com/AlpineUK/posts/1781312771903450 '68 Single Cab '71...

Morning guys. Does anyone use RH Insurance for their cover? If so, any feedback on them, in particular their agreed value process and timescales? Cheers. '68 Single Cab '71 Danbury Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take a look on ebay. Item 272121675979 It's an ad. Not an auction. If it's Genuine, I might buy it! Although I don't need it, would be daft not to for that price!!! Gotta be a scam....

I got the solid billet Scat pulley to go on. But it's well tight i.e. Can only get it in the few mm even when heated up with boiling water. I don't want want smack it on with with hammer, and I also don't know if I'd need the spacer washer that comes with it yet either. Was hoping to get the...

Hi, Fitted a new gearbox, but having re-connected the gear stick linkage, it doesn't feel right at all. Too tight and can't hardly select a gear. Previous arrangement was normal. I guess it might be a case of the connection of linkage with the grub screw has thrown it all out. I put it into...

Got one from VWH. However, the 2 studs for the gearbox mount don't appear to be screwed in fully, therefore I can't mount the bracket tightly at all. There's probably 10mm of the thread still out, then the unthreaded bit, the the rest of the thread. Is it supposed to be like this, or does it...

Hi guys, Moving on from my sheared case threads post http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=68428" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I've bought an adapter plate - the one which fits to the oil pump plate. Exactly how does it fit? 1) How do the new studs swap over? 2) Does...

What a fun day.... Removed engine and transmission today, but had a problem with a rounded cv bolt. Anyway, managed to sort that out eventually, by using a Dremel..... Query is, all 3 of my bolts from moustache bar to casing were all loose. After realising and checking, they all pulled...

Hi Guys, I'm renewing the seals to the 2 rearmost side windows. It's a Danbury Panel Conversion. From what I can make out from this forum and the Late Bay, the process should be: 1) Seal onto glass. 2) Insert trim onto seal. 3) Fit seal and glass into van, using rope pull technique etc. I've...

Hi All, I'm having the rear, upper seat belt mounts welded in place tomorrow (the ones below the window). It's a Danbury Panel conversion, so doesn't have the mounts in place. Can someone do me a quicker measure from the C-pillar, how far back they are on the rail. I know within an inch or...

Hi Guys, Bit of an issue - where the bowden tube bracket fits onto the gearbox casing, the top threaded part of the gearbox bit has snapped off, meaning the bracket is now loose. The bottom bolt is ok. This means, when I sent off, I tend to get the old shuddering clutch syndrome. To confirm...

Sorry if posted before, just check this Double Cab out.... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=281661900536

Looking at buying one of these, simply because they offer the option still to mount a bolt-on cycle carrier bracket. I have a modified Watling one (clears a 4-1 merged header) but will be changing exhaust too so thought I'd tidy the rear up. Question is, I read on here that this new towbar...

A simple question really: Haynes manual refers to rear upper shock fixing as having a washer both sides of the bush, so when fitted, the bush doesn't directly touch the mounting? Elsewhere, nobody else mentions this. I've just fitted 2 new shockers to rear, so added a washer on the inside...

Soooo, we've decided to take the plunge, and fit new units etc in the Van. I've stripped it all out, in preparation, and I'm taking this opportunity to get everything floor wise sorted. The van was restored around 6 years ago, by the PO, as the units were still in, it looks as though the O/S...

Hi All, So I'm fitting belts to my Single Cab, but have a few queries. It's a single driver's seat and a bench for two - so i've 3-point belts for the outers, and a lap belt for the middle. The front wheel arches are tubbed, so I'm having the proper plates/captive nut welded in here, so...

Any advice would be good guys. So, on the truck when driving, it pulls really well, but cuts out at every junction - hot or cold (even after doing 100+ miles). After being left in the barn for a coupe of weeks, I started it, and after warming up, it absolutely stunk of petrol. I looked in the...
