Don't know if you've noticed but it looks like you're missing your engine too [emoji57]

Hi,

I have a 1981 Westfalia Joker. There is no circular VW badge on the back, but it has a badge with "Volkswagen" on the left and a "camping" badge on the right.

Hi, I bought Van Dyke seat covers and material for the rock and roll seat from Gunzl. Very good quality but expensive (and i bought it before the pound lost value)!

Just an idea (never tried it), what if you sprayed the whole thing silver, then apply a thin layer of vaseline to the letters, and then spray with black. The black paint should just wipe off the letter faces

@bobby-gg I'm impressed by the display in the spare switch blank - where did you source the display from? I'm also developing a computer powered replacement for the electronic choke on my 2l Aircooled engine. A byproduct of the project will be a cylinder head temperature monitor - although this may...

This is then connected to all the holes on the outside. I guess the idea being it wouldn't suck in fumes from the engine/ exhaust. Although, ...

Hi,

My idle mixture enrichment unit on my solex PDSIT carbs is broken - was in kit form when I removed the four screws from the cover Can someone tell me what the correct resistance is of a working unit

Thanks for your thoughts. I'd still like to try and repair a unit - If I keep the carbs I will have to at some point anyway!
I'll try experimenting on a broken unit first and then my originals. I'll post the results

Cheers

Hi, I've read a number of posts on the Solex 12V auto chokes but couldn't fine one that covered dismantling and repair. Both my choke units (from a 2.0l CU Aircooled) have broken male spade contacts but appear to work. :D See below. auto choke 2.1.jpg I could solder a new male spade contactor on but...

Good advice - thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Will seek a replacement on the Wanted forum. The 009 will be flogged on ebay (without ref to T25s)!

Cheers Chris.
