    Gearboxes used for 1800 upwards

    I'm currently running a CA code box. I have a 1776 and when on the motorway feel like I need another gear tbh. It feels like high revs at 60mph so won't go any faster than 55. What boxes are you using and how do you find it across the range of driving, pro's and cons?

    Custom shop designs. Be warned

    Pretty in white(lots of pictures) undersealing for winter

    :D From this to this Filthy horrid job but worth the end result. I chose white as it'll show any rust coming through, given it's an at home job, and also because it looks nice on a desert patina'd van. Hours of reading various reviews and test etc online and I decided on a 5 stage...

    Unhelpful M plate decoder. Can EB members beat it?

    I've just used the decoder to try and see which paint code my white paint is as I could do with a rattle can to blow in a few bits to tidy it up. It wasn't very helpful :? It's a late Oct '69/ early 1970's tintop lhd westy bay. Does anyone have any better idea of paint codes than the...

    Idler Pin replacement & stuff

    Ok, so I've found a good video for reference for the draglink, tie rods and steering damper. I'm a newb fix my owner, so can glean so much from the words in a manual, but find it easier to understand when it is in front of me to see the parts go where how etc. Does anyone know of a good...

    Shoulder cover retaining strip making me swear

    The screwhead to undo to be able to knock the strip back has rusted away completely. Is there another way of removing it (I suspect the strip itself may well be pretty much rust too) without mullering the shoulder piece as my van has some nice patina. I was thinking of getting a wood drift and...

    Horn and indicator help please

    Tucked up under there in the tightest to access part, is a small brown wire which I pulled off accidentally as I thought it was the horn wire going right through the steering column. I now know it doesn't go through there.... I have smallish hands and my fingers just about reach in the gap...

    Indicator cancel clip thing?

    Evening. So my turn right side seized today. Dismantled it and a kind of c shape flat metal thing fell out. Didn't think much of it, cleaned up the switch as gunky, and that freed it off. Happy bunny I thought..... That flat bit of metal thing, I've worked out it's something to do with...

    My '71 import bus turned up today!! Excited

    Finally got my import bus from the freight yard today. Very pleased as it is better than the pics showed it. I was also surprised to find an original, almost as new condition, westy mozzie net for the rear tailgate and it still has intact mozzie screens on the louvres windows too! 8)
