Do the dells just fit onto standard 2.0 cu inlet manifolds?
What mods need doing for the throttle linkage?
Is there any info about what jetting they need for specific engines?

Exhaust support bracket...any help?

Hi all I have just fitted a standard exhaust to my 1982 2.0 CU Aircooled bus. Can anyone advise if the system has or needs supporting brackets?

Re: Willfield Motors Abercynon

Thanks gsmoke

I phoned him earlier....seems to know his stuff.
You were right tho, he did say he couldn't get the bus on the rolling road and it didn't seem right to tell him oh yes he could!
Perhaps I'll pop in there for a gander before I get him to do anything.

Re: '81 T25 2L Solex twin carbs/return fuel pipe

:rofl
Boxy your right!

However, I have considered putting a fuel line off it and 'teeing' it into the other one.......the idea being it would ease the amount of work the fuel pump has to do and also, (with the sh*tty tank I have) keep the fuel flowing if one side gets crudded up!

Re: t25 ignition fault

Hi..........I agree with Boxy,

Iv'e got the same engine and just had the same fault.
The pins in the two plugs from the idle stabilizer unit (the ones that can be plugged together) were well oxidized.
I cleaned em with some electrical contact spray and she fired up first time!

Re: Do you have rear belts in your Autosleeper ?

Out of interest............

I don't have rear belts in my camper.........obviously from safety point of view it's not wise to sit in the rear without belts but anyone know what's the law on this?

is a passenger allowed to travel in rear without them?
