1970 San Francisco westfalia resto

More sanding and prep today



Seats also scrubbed up well so no need to recover them :mrgreen:

 

[K@rlos]

Got my new carbs :mrgreen: The anodised Jaycee velocity stacks will be getting swapped for a proper Weber set

V.Nice

Nice pink stacks.

 

[K@rlos]

Don't worry Mr Bennett, the pink stacks are going. Got some genuine Weber chrome velocity stacks coming to go with some other IDA goodies I've brought :mrgreen:

Jaycee AN fuel line fittings and return spring fitting kit

 

[K@rlos]

Spent today finishing my engine test stand, looking forward to this as I can do cam burns and tuning before fitting engines which will be nice.

Yeah it’s a gutted 1500 box, the starter, tacho, coil and electric fuel pump are from my parts stash.Got an oil pressure gauge, warning light and charging light left to fit. And of course a basic full flow filter set up.

The starter button is the stop bell button from an old London route master bus :mrgreen:

Bit of old Skool cool, an older set of tall Scat-trac manifolds

 

[K@rlos]

Few bits done today, mocked up and altered the tinware to work with the scat trac manifolds, also fitted some bolt on rocker covers and re set the valve lash.

Just need to tidy up the edges of the tin and it can all re powder coated.

 

[gninnam]

Looking well cool is that (liking the classic bike in the background!!)

 

[K@rlos]

Yeah I’m happy with it, tinware took some work to clear the manifolds though :roll:

Bike is a guy I know. It’s a BSA gold flash with the big valve super rocket engine, I let him keep his bus and that in my workshop but he's pissing me off by being a messy ****** :x so he's getting kicked out next month :lol:

 

[K@rlos]

New stacks came today, look far better than the red set

 

[gninnam]

Does look better - gets my vote

 

[K@rlos]

Bit more done today, drilled and fitted breather fittings to the rocker covers and then mocked all the exhaust up. Annoyingly the new dynomax muffler fouls the engine bar :x but I have another old header so I’ll cut the flange off and use it as a spacer with longer bolts to move it away from the bar. Don’t wanna cut the muffler around tbh as it’s brand new and was rather expensive. But my solution should hopefully be ok.

Got an old Skool cal-look to it I think and should tuck away nicely under the rear apron 8)

 

[K@rlos]

Tinware took some modifying...

 

[K@rlos]

Body work is still edging on, not long now!!
