are the floats working? if they arent then the needle will be open all the time, so it will just flood the engine will fuel. When was it last serviced? got a good spark, timing set correctly? has it stood for a while? take it for a short run to warm it up and see if its clears

Looks like a photo from the production line

more I cry, more!

Yep, much better with the original vacuum dissy. The 009 flat spot is caused by a lack of advance during acceleration. It depends what pulley you have fitted. But usually the last mark is TDC. If you have two further marks clockwise from there. 7.5BTDC and 10BTDC. But it'll depend on your engine cod...

I shall apologize for my absence (again) but this is happening. plus a lot you cant see in the rest of the rooms. Its rather taken up all my time https://bmdsfq-ch3301.files.1drv.com/y4mufHDpg33fxulIH4IBOquGZFByA-5gcj3UUxJKWOV_AhYa5nHSZMbeQnRLREgZoDsR1MUzo0Zy0CTOXl1BoCr6GamoCvdZMhJY9Sa074WlfXDS7L0og...

They do, I have used them for a number of years, there is also auto electrical supplies. They do a lot of the less common components

Marko did a rather nice job though. Using the original switch but making it electrical internally. The pressure system always worked, it was just the fun of a perished hose allowing it to blow fluid all over the carpet or the spare tyre being flat just when you needed it that encouraged most folks t...

Good evening, welcome yo the club.

which model do you refer to as the sport back?

Look forward to some.photos

Feels like I never get out of work! I have done quite well of late though. I gave it a blow over with primer. https://21dpzg-dm2pap001.files.1drv.com/y4mmTl-4BgngFUcrdDkJfmLeS_rNgQuXM21Zqj8zKdE8ufgws2PgfkGS0XUDZA2UohYYSBdiQiU6hMWC5H9gI3U86LrEF3nYpvViVDDaV7TkoKz1Ru2m4dyQySP0_KXIdFomf03Qr-fCNlhixtPzAB...

Aye and someone stoved the back of the other halfs car in yesterday. Decent enough bloke and is willing to sort it all out. But its still another distraction!

This is true, my front wheels havent fallen off yet!

I havent made much progress as ive been busy catching up. I was on page 4 of chinos thread. Now at page 20. Hopefully finish that tonight

Oh dear, its very much a case of too late, if it is.

Very much so, I did a lot of the front axel bits with it earlier on in my thread. It's great for surface rust stuff.

If i recall. Steering wheel off, the undo the top column mounting bolts under the dash and unclamp the stalks from the coloumn and slide them off. This give you room to get at the back of the switch and the side, where threes a grubscrew. I think (its been a while). They reverse to rebuild in true h...

Are these from coverzone? https://www.cover-zone.com/products/car-covers/stormforce They do, do a tailor type 3 fasty one. I have one and its a perfect fit, I also have one for my porsche with mirror pockets that they fit into perfectly, I would keep pressing them for the right one. As I know it exi...

I still like the steel idea. I've no idea why as its never seen and hard to get at to reseal. Ive also thought about a complete redesign. As im not sure why VW did things they way they did. Seems to me the air box "collector" could have been made bigger to seal against the vents in the scuttle to el...

I have one, its in just about average condition. But Im near lincoln. If hes gets desperate

After speaking to one of the fabricators in the hangar today. His first suggestions was a/c grade fibreglass. It was very tempting! Moler who occasionally comes on here has two of the shrink/stretches from frosts to avoid the jaw swapping. There is also one at work, so one evening when its raining I...

Cheers chino, im far to used to cutting this girl up. I must catch up on the reader rides section and see how your getting on! Your right my purple. I know mick reasonably well, been helping him where I can with his fasty. he has said "im glad mine doesnt have and airbox" So from that i gather he wo...

After a few minutes of searching I grew bored. The missus was out for the evening, it was glorious 25c+ heat, the car was sat in the carport so I thought sod it, I’ll have a crack. I stripped the rest of the seats and carpeting. Got my head right up there and had a good feel/look around and I couldn...

ah thats a bugger, the bottom edge has the dimples of a spot weld, but along the top and most of the side I can see any dimples. Ive had a search and couldn't find and threads or it being removed. Ill have to go through the projects tonight

Sat reading practical classics this weekend and I had a flash of inspiration and decided I should make the move and begin to end this project. I hope to carry out a nice balance of doing bits as i please along with enjoying life. Ive always fallen foul of spending every night in the garage until the...

Is yours missing or broken? I can fix a broken one for you

Ended up making my own tab washer! It the easiest option :D Small up date, I had my spare tank powder coated, will they blasted and it revealed a zillion holes. So i got it tig welded up then back to the blasters https://z0mcqa.dm2301.livefilestore.com/y4mXK9YyTabnx3Zhc5C07FdMJQ7T5YPdADC0-tGJgXj84Xf...

You have 0.8mm with no shims in? With a target of 0.07-0.13mm (im now less convinced by the 0.15mm argument, i think is more for an engine in service rather than a building specification.) Obviously we want to aim as low as we can. The available shims are 0.24, 0.26, 0.28, 0.3, 0.32, 0.34, 0.36. Any...
