Cool so thats supposed to be a short bit. The haynes manual was mentioning another pipe though but I'll check when I'm back at the van not got haynes here.

Maybe, I'll have a look today and see if the gearbox is on a rubber mount. I thought it wasn't as it says to remove the bolts from the transmission.

Thanks.

Re: What is this covering around the engine bay cover??

I might just remove a small amount around the edges to see if the rust spreads under... seams a shame to remove it all... but if I have to what is a suitable product to replace it with?

Re: Choke Mechanism Details Please, after brazing repairs!

The left carb has had a whole stem brazed on (by a previous repairer), so I'm not sure it is in the right place, I think I might have to bend it to correct position...

Re: What should go between thermal block under Carburettor?

Ok thanks, I'll use the 2 in the picture. I can make the one that is slighlty bigger fit. So the heat won't affect the gasket under the thermal block?

Re: What should go between thermal block under Carburettor?

Ah ok, it is confusing because there is an icon labeled image but only asks for a URL! The last picture shows that one of the gaskets could be made to fit if there is meant to be one under the thermal block? https://i.imgur.com/8wmIf9x.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hxkmH0y.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Kcv3Llk....

Re: What should go between thermal block under Carburettor?

Sorry I've added it now, it is:

Sheffield, England.

VW T25, 1980, CU Engine, Air Cooled.

How do I add pictures? Is there a way or I have to upload to a sharing website, it asks for a URL but surly then they expire and then there will be no pictures on this forum after a few months!

Cheers
