I may need a brake servo on my 1971 1600 twin port and it appears that the Brazilian option is far cheaper than a direct replacement. Apparently, the Brazilian unit requires some drilling and fettling to fit. So ... Are these as good as the direct replacements? How much of a pain are they to...

I was going to refurbish the carburettor on my 1600 twin port with a refurb kit but saw that Machine 7 are fully refurbishing original Solex units. My spindle has slight play so thought this might be a better option - has anyone had experience of these? Are they as good as they sound? The cost...

Thanks for the advice, I assumed that would be the case.

Thinking of upgrading the exhaust on my 1971 T2 that has a 1600 twin port. Is it worth doing? Would I notice better performance going uphill? I don't want to go down the route of upgrading the engine or carbs.

I have a porch awning that I want to attach to my bus but it doesn’t have a awning channel. I wondered about using the figure of 8 connection rail but I’m concerned that it won’t hold the awning connector in a strong wind and, if it does, it’ll scratch up my rain channel paint. What’s...

I'm considering the Creative Engineering adjusters to lower my standard set up Westy. What's involved? is it just buy and fit the kit and new shocks?

Well, that’s certainly worth checking ! It’s on tight but you might be right about the ends. How did you fix it? Spacers on the screws?

I’m getting a vibration noise between 40 and 50 mph. I can’t tell what the revs are as I don’t have a rev counter. It seems to be coming from either in front of the drivers side dash (it’s a LHD) or the floor of the drivers side. I’ve secured and cable tied anything that I can on the underside...

Is there anywhere that will refurbish original ones? Mine (US import) appeared to have the glass changed but the adhesive looks like it was applied using a blindfold and shovel :-)) I bought a set of new ones, sent the first set back due to chipped chrome and being sent 2 of the same side. The...

Please delete if too far off topic. Has anyone had experience of a Mexican Beetle? Quality, performance, rustproofing, etc ... ?

No interest in this then?

Any EarlyBayers going to this? I've not been before and thought I'd give it a try. I think that car clubs get infield parking so, if we get a few going it would work out better for all.

Thanks Sparkywig. Out of interest, why is there a need for minimum number of posts before a joiner can PM someone ?

I have 3 private messages that I have tried to send stuck in my outbox. Why are they not being sent? Is it because the recipient has not made enough posts to be able to PM?

Hi Rich, I've sent 2 PMs but both are stuck in my outbox - I assume because you haven't posted enough times to be able to PM. What is your email address?

Hi Rich, I've received a PM from you and just replied. Regards

Hi, what is the most common cause for the washer bottle losing pressure? Mine only lasts a day or so.

Vinvan, what make did you get? Did you fit at the front or back? Just looked at eBay and the cables look too short to put in the cab.

Hi, has anyone linked a buzzer to the indicators to give an audible warning? I have a habit of leaving on my 'self-cancelling' indicators ;-))

Ok, not exactly Early Bay but a friend of mine is looking to get a T4 or T5 and convert it into a camper. Anyone know of a reasonably priced pop top installer? A Google search suggests that they are £2.5k+ I thought I'd tap into the the Early Bay fountain of knowledge for him.
