My 1969, originally a microbus, now with camping interior is now up for sale due to hardly being used. Originally imported from Florida approx 3-4 years ago, i have all the paperwork. This is a very, very solid bus with all bar 1 of its original panels intact. Only the battery tray has been...

Can someone tell me if there is a difference between the bore size in type 1 cilynder head and if so what is the difference between 1300 tp and 1600 tp. I have 2 heads and they have no part numbers on them, only Metan Mt160, which is the gauge of the metal i believe. The bore measures 77mm...

I need a scratch free piece of glass for a bay. It is the rear side piece with the rounded edge as opposed to the middle rectangular piece. If anyone has one and they can take it to cruise to the prom i would be most grateful. Dean

I have fitted twin 34 icts on my 1600 sp. I changed the idle & main jets and fitted the carbs after careful balancing. The carbs are correctly installed now and the bars etc are adjusted spot on. I drove it for the mot last week and it's not right. The timing is spot on the plugs are fine...

Do i need to re time the engine? It was set up fine with the original carb but now that i have fitted the ict's it is very underpowered, even though i have upgraded the jets as per instructions for the air cooled engine set up. Might seem like a daft question but before i go playing with the...

I've tried to get a new accelerator cable today but i was told that my bay is a crossover and the cables are different lengths. I did the m plate definitions yesterday and it comes up with my bay as a planned production date of 25 september 1968. The warranty from the original sale commences...

I've just fitted the csp bell crank linkage on my '69 1600 sp with twin 34 ict's. It seems though that my accelerator cable is approx 30 - 40mm too long. i'm currently clamped onto the single skinny core of the cable and not the large clamp piece on the end. Anyone else have this problem or...

I'm going to be taking my bus for an mot shortly but the new rear 3/4 r'n'r bed doesn't have foam and covering on it yet it's just plain board on the metal frame. The seat belts are in and work fine. Is this an mot fail? Thanks

I have a stock 1600sp long block engine. I'm in the process of refitting the motor with twin 34 icts and and alternator conversion. So i've checked the points gap prior to firing up and it's 0.010. When i double checked the haynes manual it says it should be 0.016. However the engine was...

I've carried out a generator to alternator conversion on my bay this morning. I used speedy jims wiring guide for the wires. Only thing i'm curious about is that i no longer have a noticable earth. Is the alternator earthed through it's body?

I need to get the old sealing rings out of the inlet port on my sp engine. I've tried using a sturdy pick but have no luck. I don't want to start whacking it with a hammer and chisel. Is there a way i can get these old rings out without damaging the head port?

I received my sp manifolds today for my weber 34 icts'. They came pre drilled on one side of each manifold with a screw in take off. I thought the take off was for servo brakes. Am i wrong? If so what are the take offs for? Dean

I have re-fitted the twin weber 34 ict's this weekend but i don't want the hex bar linkage. I have found two types of linkages that seem so similar but i can't find much info on the second link. Does anyone have, or know people who have these fitted and can help me out with any differences...

I have fitted a new alternator stand and will be fitting twin carbs. What type of oil filler set up should i go for? It's a 1600 sp motor. I've seen all sorts on the usual suspects web sites but don't know what they do/how they work/ which is most suitable. any ideas?

I have an external oil filter/cooler set up on my bay. During the winters work i have stripped this back, amongst many other things, and tossed the worn out pipe work without recording which pipe went where. I have in/out markings on the filter housing butnothing anywhere else. Am i right in...
