Re: Help with removal of nearside brake hub

If its the original nut it should be the lower torque setting being an early van so should be easy with a scaffold pole over a strong breaker bar, give the exposed  threads a good clean if they are rusty.

Re: Condensation

That's awesome, I'm a little obsessed with relative humidity in the home too. I can't see your picture though- broken link? Dont get too obsessed with humidity in the home,70 % is fine, some people think it should be 50% but thats not natural and would need lots of heating and dehumidifying to keep...

Re: 2wd suspension upgrade

Sounds good will have to look into that, the full height springs would compress with the weight but could still look too high.

Re: 2wd suspension upgrade

Thinking of doing my own upgrade just on the rear to cope with the extra weight of the EG33 H6 engine, last time it was in the multivan the rear looked lower than the front so i bought some heavy duty vw shocks but the info from the vw parts listing seem to say the heavy duty shocks are for the tall...

Re: 2wd suspension upgrade

If you want height then just go for standard vw height used on basic models like panel vans, cheaper as well. I have some nice low mileage front springs if you want full standard height , have sold the rears. I only use and like the vw 30mm lower set up.

Re: 1981 T25 gearbox problem (possibly)

Sometimes the clutch shaft arms can fail at the welds, happened to a low mileage van i had in the late eighties. That had a hydraulic clutch but the shaft is the same.

Re: Rear jacking points shot?

Yes with the trailing arm removed and before you cut anything out put the threaded bar in place through the inner body mount and make something that will give you the forward position of the outer body mount. Write down the measurements and take photos of the threaded bar set up taking note of where...

Re: 2wd suspension upgrade

The 30mm lower vw factory suspension is a great set up, handles well and gives a smooth ride . I wouldnt go high with a high top.

Re: Rear jacking points shot?

 A short rod can be used when working on one side , go to the restoration section and look at Big blue van scroll done to some of the last photos of page 1.  , it is used to measure the distance between the inner and outer, an extra marker plate is put on the end of the rod to set the outer mount f...
