Do you still have Australia indicator lenses?

Bus has been running fine but on an outing last week and again today when I got it out of the garage and left it ticking over. If left to idle for about 4 mins the idle slows and engine dies. Runs fine at all speeds and temperatures. 1776 twin Weber 34 ICT carbs. I have a filter after the tank and a...

Why do you think it overheated? Why do you think overheating caused the plug to come out? Helicoils can repair the thread, but they're never as strong. Not true a steel helicoil is stronger than the aluminium casting it sits in, FACT, back to engineering school for you, however this can only be 100...

They should not whistle it's just the repro seals are poor. With age they should get better mine whistle for 6months and then stopped , looking at the og ones still in Leah's bus they fit perfectly

Exhaust front and back as close to the heads as you can get. They are not that heavy, I used to be able to lift them on my own....

A long block I could believe but a full engine weighs close to 100kg I'd like to see you lift that off the deck onto a bench

Grinder and 1mm cutting discs lots of them, a decent set of drill bits. A breaker bar and plenty of plusgas .

It should also have a section called buses of shame, you upload a photo of your bus if you break down on the way to the location and can't fix it

Sounds good,I guess meal and times will be organised via the Facebook group, not being a party pooper but it might be worth mentioning to people that in Belgium the drink drive limit is lower than the UK and that Belgium beers are almost double in alcohol strength meaning just one beer 33cl will put...

Interested in this event, so what happens after the brewery arrival , and what day does everyone park in the streets. Do people stay at nearby campsites and is there a cruise back to the tunnel?

Namrick sell all sorts of nuts, bolts, washers etc. I got my new bolts for the spring plate covers from them. I'm using the helicoil thread repair on some of the spring plate threads that were stripped and had been replaced with through bolts and nuts! Can anyone advise on whether helicoil are as s...

Fine if it's not been "fiddled with" I've gone irs and my OG engine was stolen so I'm over the 8points. They haven't told us what's in store but they wouldn't be doing this if there's nothing in it for the government or else why bother. If this goes ahead one way or another some people are going to...

Not alot in it, id fit the 14" wheels as they are correct for your van

not sure but i have replaced the front nose cone gearbox mount on a stock setup, engine out but box still in. Abolsolute pain in the back side, next time i would pull the box and save me a load of hassle and time, you have to slaken of the frame horn bolts and idealy the spring plate bolts so you mi...

as above but whatever you do, do not put the front screens or the steering box or the pedals in until you have completed all the dash/cab wiring ,

Oh and nose badge goes on LAST

its a combination of the repro seals being too thick and new paint ie high build primer and paint. I have tries seals from two of the usual suspects and no joy , maybe the WCM ones are better. I know a few who have sanded the seals thinner. I currentl run without
