[Guest]

can you provide some details of your brake/wheel setup? are you running porsche discs up front? or bay drums/discs with spacers?

are all cookie cutters 7J? im asking as ive just got a really good set cheaply, i was thinking running the porche pattern drums from C and C on the back but wasnt sure whether to go standard bay discs and spacers or try to source a porsche disc setup from the breakers yard and modify this?

has anyone got porsche discs up front? are they hard to fit?

Hello Johnny

I'm running stock front and rear brakes, I've installed my cookie cutters with Vw to Porsche pattern homme made adaptors (20mm Thickness).

All are 6J*15" wheels with 195/50/15 front and 195/65/15 rear...

There is not so much space between the rear wheel arch and the tire (~1 finger :roll: )...

Mister 16' I know that you love my bus but I'm sorry, not for sale.. for now :mrgreen:

 

[Guest]

thanks Kombi, i guess that answers my question i have a set going up on ebay.

... until I broke the case on the rear hanger mounting bosses after 8 months of very hard driving :mrgreen:

tried to repair it but no success

So I will replace my gearbox by a 73/79 bay garbox witch has the two holes on the clutch house, and I will weld the late bay gearbox support on my bus in order to have it firmly maintained to avoid future case cracks...

So my bus is in my parents house @ 700 km away from I live... I'll work on it in July after the EBI#2 & August as I now a teacher, I have long vacations 8) 8) like pupils :lol: :lol:

Because my new gearbox will befirmly maintained, I decided to start another new engine

So I tore down the 1775, welded the broken case which is now running great un a friend beetle...

All was in excellent shape even with my driving style :lol:

[Guest]

mmmmm nice 8)

what diference is there in diameter of that pertronix dizzy and a standard dizzy? i was looking to fit a porsche fan kit but there doesnt look like there is clearance as the standard dizzy looks much skinner?

 

[kombiporsche]

Hello I measured it :wink:

a 009 is 64mm and the Pertronix is 113 mm :wink:

Have a nice evening 8)

 

[Guest]

thanks vince... thats a big difference probably too big.

 

[kombiporsche]

hello Johnny, I gave my pertronix to a friend who is building a Type& engine with Porsche Fan, look at the pics, it's too close but it can be installed.... with a shroud modification, you may be able tu run it.

Bye!

 

[easy]

Excellent work sir. I love the smell of new engine parts in the morning 8)

 

[Guest]

cheers vince, i have a porsche fan style engine ordered and i think the pertronix will clip the fiberglas cowl, i have to wait and see. I wanted this type of dizzy as i didnt want to mess around with a 009.

Case decked to the exact value

Fitting all tins before going for powdercoating

Going up to 57cc (50 before) on the heads to reach 9:1 CR

Replacing the 8 pass cooler from this

To this

Now I'm waiting for the missing parts to assemble the engine, all is checked and rechecked (clearances, plays ...) :mrgreen: just have to clean and install the parts définitely like à LEGO 8)

In parallel, I welded a late bus gearbox brace, it needs a lot of modifications but well woth it to avoid any future case crack like on my 1776 (posts above) :shock:

Checking the new DH, with 1.2mm on all 4 barrels

Installing chromoly studs on the case for the rear hanger, more resistant than the stock system.

Finishing the fuel & breather lines:

Finishing the manifolds match porting,I bought my manifolds bare not reworked by Steve & Greg Tims

Setting the Rockers end play 0,1 mm on all.

Last view of the Steve Tims heads (home made reworked chambers to achieve 58cc as they came with 53 cc for my old 1775 and 50cc after the flycutt to accept the new 92 Thick Walled cylinders) & manifolds:

New Berg retainers to have more spring clearance:

Berg magnet:

Last "moke up" of the long block

intake Retainer to Guide clearance (1,5mm)

Full lift:

Valve to piston clearance at th most "critical" point, At this point I can move the valve (witch is without spring) on 2.5mm before touching the piston.

The last pics of my build, concerning the final assembly of the short block:

Installing the rods on the crank, streching is checked on each bolt after being torqued

Case closing:

ARP lube on the case bolts:

Installing the sump and others accesoiries:

Flywheel torked to 45M.KG

More accesoiries to cover all the holes...

With its future owner on the background:

Back on the track,

Reworked keepers (they are not touching when installed)

Checking for coil bind:

Now the engine is just waiting me to coming back from Paris to reinstall the valves on the heads and the heads on the short block for the first start, the new exhaust is also nearly to be finished by A1 & shipped to France 8)

Bye!
