Re: Fitting a Speedshop exhaust to Aircooled T25

Many thanks for all your suggestions and ideas guys. Not too keen on the look of the bike can, but a great idea. I looked at the Ahnendorp BAS system a while back. I like the design but it's a bit too pricey for me, so finally went for a CSP Python that JK we're selling at a good price. It fitted st...

Re: Fitting a Speedshop exhaust to Aircooled T25

Having realised that this Speedshop exhaust is never going to fit, and discovering that the flanges are going rusty after just one night out, I am sending it back for refund. So my question now is, does anyone know of an aftermarket stainless exhaust that will fit an Aircooled T25? I looked at the v...

Re: Fitting a Speedshop exhaust to Aircooled T25

It's just the rear header pipes and muffler.
I can't get it bolted to the heat exchangers because it's too big to fit inside the rear valence.

Re: CU non-starter - now electrics (oops engine)

I had a similar 'dead battery' issue at the weekend, even though I knew the battery was good. Turned out to be the main earth path from the engine to the chassis. I put a jump lead from the starter mounting bolt to a good chassis earth, and it fired up instantly. Might be worth a try. I don't know i...

Re: Devon Side Hinged Roof Moulding

Just to complete this, I had a good day last week playing with grp and today I got the moulding finished and back on the van. All the rivet holes lined up nicely and am really pleased with the result. :D http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w584/Ulyman2/IMG_20130425_134710_zps0a8c4ef1.jpg Before - th...

Re: Devon Side Hinged Roof Moulding

OK, so I got the moulding off yesterday and no apparent signs of rot anywhere, but the fiberglass is incredibly thin. Think I'll build up the thickness a bit before replacing the wooden block. http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w584/Ulyman2/IMG_20130419_190639_zps5c03eb33.jpg http://i1331.photobuck...

Re: Devon Side Hinged Roof Moulding

Many thanks for the pics Darren, that's exactly what I needed. And I'll certainly be taking pictures as I go so I can help out anyone else who may have this problem. If you need any details for fitting yours, please let me know. mm, I take the point about using hardwood for the new blocks, the area ...

Re: Devon Side Hinged Roof Moulding

Hi mm, thanks for the 'sexing' advice :oops: the name was chosen by the GF.
So, in van anatomy then, what distinguishes the boys from the girls? Or are all T25's male by default?

Re: Devon Side Hinged Roof Moulding

Hi B.A, thanks for your reply, and for confirming what I thought was a block of wood. This morning I tried to twist the section back to the correct shape, but it all springs back again when I let go. I thought there may have been some steel reinforcing bonded into the fibreglass but I can't detect a...

Devon Side Hinged Roof Moulding

Hi all, My first post after becoming the proud owner of 'Petal', an '82 A/C Devon. We've been doing lots of work to get her sorted mechanically, but it's time to get the interior lining replaced and a new pop top canvas has also been ordered. Having removed the old canvas and trim, I discovered the ...
