Club 80-90 Forums

Yes thanks, very helpful.

But now go and buy some of those clear headlight protectors to protect them from damage in the future.

Can you not just use a smear of sealant and no gasket? Being careful not to get it inside the groove?
Just a thought like.

CJH,

I am also looking to fit the larger 90 amp alternator from a 45 amp one and was just wandering if I need a different i.e. longer alternator belt or is the alternator physically the same size?

Just want to be prepared for arrival.

Many thanks, Mark.

Tony,

All,

If the tailgate is locked, can you still use this magical handle to open the door or does the key lock inhibit the opening?

Thinking of doing this my self so keen to know.

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

Will this make production? If you knock out a few sets I'll be up for one.

Hope this goes well as replacing my lights would be expensive.

Good on you.

Can this mythical engine just be run with a set of Dellorto carbs?

Do I need to change my existing little ignition module? ( I only have a lowly 1.9DG, so no fancy ecu. )

Dreaming I know but you never know, maybe one day............ooh all that power, mmmmmm.

Hi All,

Buy the best cross linkage you can afford too! Getting them to open together and synchronised is half the problem,
You can have hours of fun just fiddling with them.

Oh and I just had the left hand mount bossed for the brakes and no issues, but mine isn't air cooled.

Have fun! Mark.

That is a 1.9DG they are fitted to.

Hey All, I have fitted Dellorto carbs and can vouch for their awesomeness! Oh and 26 mpg too.

Good luck and happy revving!

Mark.

Al, Just checked my petrol rev counter and it only goes to 6000 the same as your diesel one, the only difference I can see is that the red part is further round, starting at 5200. Maybe that's the only difference, could they paint it the same or is it too much trouble? Any chance of more pictures of...

Al,

Is there a set for petrol rev counter as well or just diesel version? If so I'm up for a set too, assuming you can get the needles to glow
Oh and instructions for idiots to follow!

Thanks, Mark.

James, That one does not look like it will fit in the hole, its too big, the other tiny one only fits with some adjustment with the scalpel! There isn't a lot of space in there to work with. Cruz, Here is a picture of how mine looks:- http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh136/marcus_asparagus/IMG_190...
