    Ben's 72 Bay

    It will 👍 didn’t bother with the supplied shaft attachment, I just changed the coupler. I remember Ian over on LB having some kind of problem with it when trying to fit the whole assembly.

    Any recommendations for electronic ignition?

    +1 for 123, I have the Bluetooth version with my own plotted advance curve. VWJIm has very good prices, wish I’d bought from him rather than getting my hat nailed on with import duty 🙈

    I hear noises?

    That’s how I did mine last year, but I was fitting Twin Webers, Cooling Flaps, CSP Bellcrank etc, so had a nice clear run at it 👍

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    Another +1 for Butty’s full linkage (includes long stainless rod and bushing through chassis) I also redid the accelerator pedal, pedal hinge, pedal spring, accelerator cable and under chassis return spring to remove as much slop from the system as possible. You could say it’s a bit like...

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    @Ben72Bay Yes, I jumped on the LateBay group buy, in fact I think it was my first post on there. The individual cost on the group buy ended up as £23.67 plus £3.29 postage. Which I thought was a great deal. You even get the lower spline adapter, but I just used the coupler. I’m sure there...

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    The steering coupler is night and day compared to the previous one. I redid my steering box this time last year but always felt as though the first bit of movement in the wheel was the initial flexing of the old coupler, compounded by the pictures above. The Lares 209 construction is so robust...

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    Last day down Llangadfan Mid Wales. Had a couple of days out to Welshpool along the A458 which is a great road. Can’t believe the difference the new steering coupler has made, van feels totally planted now and is great through the twistys. Tweaked the 123 curve before leaving as I noticed there...

    Took Winnie for a spin down the road to Rhos on Sea today as it was such a nice day. They’ve done a load of work on the beach and promenade recently and really looks brilliant plus the free parking is back too. Had a great afternoon, new steering coupler is brilliant, what a...

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    Fitted a Lares 209 Steering Coupler today that I got as part of a group buy over on LB Old v New OEM has a fair bit of flex Lares 209 has a lot less flex Managed to do it all from underneath, went for a test drive and noticed a significant improvement. Horn still works as well which...
