    Beetle exhaust on a 1600 early bay westy

    Think I’ve seen it done twice now including today in the early Bay Area at Stanford hall. Sadly no one around to discuss. So although I’ve heard it can’t be fitted, it looks like it can. I quite fancy the nice little beetle engine sound. Anyone able to expand, thanks :D

    Dinatrol

    I need to rebuild my door seals and whilst I'm at it I want to use dinatrol on them. Can anyone tell me the dinatrol products I should use.

    Gear change issues

    First drive of my new left hooker yesterday(pics to follow) and having issues with gear selection. the problem is not only selecting gears but also dropping 3rd to 2nd and plenty of grinding which I'm assuming is reverse.
