Aircooled-aag

The conversion is gathering pace and going quite well at the moment but I've got a couple of questions. Do I need to put back the expansion tanks from the main fuel tank now I'm going EFI. Also the outlet on the side of the head I assume connects to one of the heating pipes that go to the matrix . D...

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement bung or will have to replace the whole thing. I very tried all the normal outlets and the the repair packs don't include the bung. Cheers Orbit....

Re: DK box onto an agg which input shaft?

Cheers ELVIS
I've sourced a diesel input shaft, but the guy has said It won't come with the locking sleeve and that the one on my petrol shaft will fit. Does this sound right.
Thank Dave.

Re: Syncro engine swap - DJ to AGG

Sorry got bit a bit fat fingered then and hit send. What I'm asking is do I have to change the alternator bracket or is there some form of an extension that I can add to the housing to bring it out enough to pass over the bracket.
