Hi Jes - sorry, its 3 weeks since you texted me. We have Andreas Lidil springs all round with Futbus ball joint spacers on the front and shock extenders on the rear. When we fitted the springs we also got new standard shock absorbers from Baxter. That gives 555mm exactly from hub centre to bottom of...

Thanks very much to everyone for your contributions. I'm going to try the 25A switch in parallel with the the thermo switch on the stage 1 circuit first. I'll have to give some more thought to the stage 2 circuit as ideally I'd like to be able to use that manually because it will bring down the rad ...

Thanks itchyfeet. I put the relay in as I thought the current draw would burn out the switch. But I suppose there's no relay for the first speed anyway. So it's OK just to wire a switch in either side of the thermo switch? And then its protected by the original 30 amp fuse? Pete yes, short red/whit...

Are you putting the 30A fuse in the 50A side? Might explain why the fuse is blowing. Check the 50A relay/strip fuse by the earth crowns. Ahh - so are you saying the 30 amp in line fuse should go between the relay and the fan? Rather than where I've put it - between the power source (cranking batter...

Afternoon All, We are off to the Lakes in a fortnight and planning a trip that will take in all the big passes over three weeks. So I thought it would be a good idea to protect my 025 Motorsport 2.5 WBX as much as possible and fit a chicken switch for the rad fan. The temp guage does have a tendency...

I've not been on the forum for a while - work, getting my trials Beetle back on the road, travelling in the Syncro etc etc. What I can add to this thread is that 025 Motorsport aka Ian Holman, aka silverbullet has built us the best waterboxer imaginable.

We will bring a load of antipasto - some of which will be gluten free. When will we have an idea of numbers?

Can also bring a two burner camping stove if its needed for keeping stuff hot.

Just booked our tickets. I e mailed Tom (organiser) and he got back pretty quick. He also put this post up. http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=154425" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

What tyres have you got Andy? I have a set of 6J X 14" that I'm planning on using when my 15"s get refurbed.

We had such a good time at AO last year so hoping to go again.

I seem to recall that Tom the organiser had put up a post on here by this time last year and was promising a discrete area for Syncronauts etc etc. Does anyone know if the same is going to happen this year?

Have a good time in Spain Lloyd. We've just spent 5 weeks driving around Spain and Portugal and had a brilliant time. Did lots of mountains where temps averaged 30C as opposed to coasts where temps were 35C+. I have lots of pics and data so will put up some info in the next few days. We went to and ...

Just signed up for the e mail stuff. Still in Spain at the moment but would be well up for it if work permits. Thanks Nick.

In Segovia just NW of Madrid at the moment. Driven down today from Rob (GoldSyncro's) place near Santander. Excellent journey with motor pulling really strong. Those who know the area will know that it is a long pull to get up through the mountains south of Santander. We did it nearly all in 4th gea...
