PM’d you my address mate

If it’s a totally stock engine I wouldn’t bother tbh.

I think it will make a noticeable difference, providing people make sure the rest of the linkage is in good order. As others have said the generic replacement front bush is like a hot dog in a hallway straight out the packet.

I’ve got EBC drilled and grooved discs in my Porsche set up. They work well!!

Got a drill haven’t you? 😆

Awesome, thanks for sorting all this 🙏🏻

Regular e10 with no additives is perfectly fine. Only need E5 in something with a highly strung engine due to the higher octane rating.

Well that’s a somewhat sarcastic reply 🤨 I was genuinely trying to prevent you from causing yourself possible issues further down the line, you carry on 👍🏻

I mean general crud out of the material of the case itself. If you’re going do it then don’t put any locking compound at all. Spring & flat washers on each bolt will be sufficient.

Brought these for the new engine for my beetle but decided to use a set of Weber’s I already had. I’ve not run these personally but they came off a running vehicle when I brought them. Clean inside, operate freely and no corrosion. Asking what I paid for them, getting hard to find now...

Winding bolts in and out of the soft case can often cause material to drop down from the threads into the case and the internals of the engine which is why vw didn’t use bolts themselves.

Money sent

Yeah count me in 👍🏻

Went down the beach last night for some street food. My friend took this cool pic

Thanks 😬

So yesterday I had my Weber 48’s made a touch more civilised… Went and saw my friend Paul Bate in Essex yesterday who used his special jig to drill 3rd progression holes, genuinely surprised how much of a difference it’s made. It was smooth (for Ida’s) anyway and now it’s more like my old IDF’s 😬

If memory serves, it should come down inside the front panel, run along next to the master cylinder under the floor then swing round towards the wheel.

Finally it cleaned today!

X2 for Hector Howe. He’s a close friend of mine and an outstanding engine builder, message me if you want his number

Not really 😂 I’m no fool and am very anal with the maintenance but it’s nice to get it up on a ramp and put it in the brake rollers etc
