T25 wheels

As they sit at the mo before lowering there's loads of room, I've used 185/50/16 tyres and it looks good so far? but we'll see..

Just sorting the rear end out today, and from my initial findings there's a fair bit of room to dump! I'll get some pictures up as soon as i can..

Syncro wheels on a westie

Just had a set of 16" syncro wheels put on my T25 Joker, bit of arsing about but got there in the end.. Looks cool, but will look cooler once the van's been dumped on the deck!

1980 Westy Joker.. clutch cable?

Hi, Went to go for a run in my van today but as I went to put it in gear I noticed the clutch pedal was on the floor!! Totally slack, without getting underneath it I'm guessing it's just come away from either end? or could it have snapped? I'll have a go at replacing it in the next day or three, but...

16" Syncro wheels

Hi,

I want to fit 16" syncro wheels to my 1980 Joker, May sound like a silly question, but firstly will they fit, and secondly will I have to beef up the suspension springs with regards to rubbing under the front arches when going over bumps?

Cheers for any advice

Neil.

Westy hook up...

Yeah, fitting a new plug socket does make sense, but after taking mine off and offering up the uk version, they are different sizes.. Looks like I have to cut a larger hole in the side of my van!!!

Westy canvas

Hi,

Mine needs replacing too cos someone caught it in the securing catch and ripped it, The price I've been quoted to supply and fit is £400 which consists of a JK canvas... Bit more than I thought but looking at it it's quite a time consuming job...

Regards

Westy hookup

Yeah, been to a few already today and they can't help.. I'll try a few more but not looking good... May have to change the socket but that means cutting a bigger hole in the side of my van!!!

Westy Joker electric hook-up?!

My westy hookup socket on the outside of my german imported Joker is a male 2 pin socket!!! Anyone know if you can get an adapter so I can plug into the 3 pin type in the uk? Could change the socket on the van but would make life easier to use and adapter?

Ta

Neil.
