RJES exhaust

Is anyone selling a rjes exhaust or can recommend a suitable alternative. I believe they were available a while back from rjes but are not on sale now. A simple straight fit exhaust to go with the rest of the conversion is what i am looking for. :ok

Yes i have got a cooling system from a 85 donor van. The cooling hoses that run on the bottom of the van i had made by a hose specialist in uk. The coolant side has been the easy bit.

Re: Subaru Engine and gb installation problem

No the van was always a four speed. It had been messed about with by its previous owners and i have put the gear box back in from an Aircooled van. As the engine sits on the engine frame i can only think its some thing a miss at the gearbox mount

Re: VW T25 GearShift rod tube pin

Thanks for that i will send him a message. iforgot about him and there is also bearmotorsport who do the air cooled boxes. If i dont get one from somewhere making one will be the next option so the length and the groove size for the bush are the crucial points everything else can be adjusted to suit.

The quick shift kit that Aidan Talbot and Bear racing do looks worth fitting while i have the box out aswell. RJES have me booked in for doing the loom in early Jan so ...
