Re: Drop arm Bush replacement

Oh b*gger! I mean't to say the drop arm for the anti-roll bar that bolts to the strut bar that bolts to the lower control arm. Early arms are slightly curved whereas later arms are straight.

Drop arm Bush replacement

How do,
Having got Bezza, my 1980 Westy up on ramps to cure the noisy/sloppy gear change with new bushings a thought crossed my mind while I was on a Bush changing fetish :P
Can I change the drop arm bushes while my T25 is up on ramps at the front? Can it be done without removing the wheels?

TIA

Early & Late Fuel level senders

Fellow Vanagonisti,  One of my winter projects is to make the fuel tank on Bezza, my 1980 Westy, cease leaking whenever I fill her up. :oops: Going by her plastic fuel filler neck and reasonable looking tank I'll hazard an educated guess that they have been replaced in the recent past.  Nevertheless...

Re: Recommended Exhaust for an Air-cooled T25

Thanks for the Heads Up hubcap,

 How does it perform on your T25 Wasserboxer? {A 547 LTA where are you now? } Smoother running ? Better fuel economy ?

IIRC These stainless 2 tip Exhausts are covered by a 5 year non transferable warranty.
