Has anyone fitted these tyres to a 14" standard syncro wheels?

Changing wheels not an option for me.

Hi Johan, The test that set me on the right track for the temp and fuel guages was to put in those Insulation Displacement Connectors with a short lenght of wire on the fuel and temperature sensor wires on the 14 pin connector under the dash panel. If you touch each one to earth, the guages will go ...

Temperature sensor and fuel tank sender have now been replaced, and the guages are working fine. Rev counter problem is the same, so if anyone has any ideas I'm listening!!

Temp guage has not worked for a while although the red light flashes and goes off when starting. Fuel guage failed recently, sta...

I spotted this and wondered.....
VW T3 Vanagon Syncro Transporter Syncro VISCO rebuilt

The chimney is single wall for 1/2 m and then double wall for 1m, and a proper terminal, all 4 inch ID. The hole was cut in the fibreglass, and a standard aluminium and silicone rubber flashing piece, sealed with silicone. If I did it again I would use sikaflex polyurethane sealer on the aluminium. ...

I get your meaning. I am careful where I leave it. Have thought about an HT setup!!
