this is the one I have, drains pretty quick though if you're using a propex.
If you have the cash then these look good:
do a search for Lifos Advanced Lightweight Battery

As above, for buying, try VWJim and vwaircooledworks for the two most popular types of extinguisher

Thanks guys. Any ideas where to get the D fan from. All the usual websites are crap at stating sizes. The only place I can find one is jBugs in the USA

I need to replace my bottom pulley and I was searching for an original vw one and discovered them labelled as 170mm. Mine is approximately 178mm. So I was wondering which to get? Worth noting that most sites don’t specify the diameter! My engine is a 1641 with twin dels. Anyone have any idea if I sh...

Post a pick of the alternator.
If all your wiring to the bulb in the front is ok then it’s probably the regulator, some alternators have a section on top under the band that holds the to the post that can be removed and new regulator fitted. Otherwise it’s get a new one.

Mine is the same as Stevep. Mounted to the chassis rail just as the pipe comes out of the tank.

Great bit of kit to have.

Autocraft are excellent, they sell Wolfsburg West ones

So check your lines between the tank and the filter, Daft question I know, but I’m goi...

You live and learn

Just an update for anyone that reads this thread in the future. My fuel cut off solenoid is connected to my fire extinguisher, so that if it goes off, the solenoid shuts down the fuel from the tank. If, you happen to have a loose earth wire on the extinguisher then the solenoid thinks it’s gone off ...

Cheers Jonny i’ll Check them next

1641 with twin dellorto carbs. Electronic ignition. Rebuilt and tuned about 2 years ago, ran beautifully all last year, then I put it to bed at the end of October. Usually I take it out every couple of weeks over the winter just to keep her moving. But I’ve been away a lot and the the weathers been ...
