Hello, Ive just got hold of a diesel heater for my Aircooled t25.  I'd like to install behind the grill as you have done.  Could you share how you fixed this in?  My plan was to attach to the main heating vents as it looks like you've done.  thanks, Christian  I folded the mounting plate and screwe...

Yes you can. Swap the bulb holders over, you need to cut the prong off that stops you putting it in the wrong side. Then run a new wire from the left loom to the R/H light.

90A is the largest fitted, but alternator output is measured at its normal working temperature, when it is cold it can supply more around 100A

Could well be the sender. If a late sender is fitted with an early dash, it will run out before you get to reserve.

LSD were a factory option, even on Bay windows, rare to have one though.

The hose should be a stretch fit. 5.5mm or 5.7mm i.d is a good fit. 6mm or 1/4" hose is too loose. Never rely on a clip to seal the hose it should always be a tight fit.

I use 15W50 mineral oil, in the Aircooled motors, quicker to pump the hydraulic tappets, I use Fuchs Titan Superma which meets VW spec 505.00

Don't forget the bottom brake shoe return spring and to put it on the correct way round.

Thanks to all for the great information. A bit of a dilemma. I paid for it through eBay. The seller claimed they were RHD lamps. When l got to his house today l saw they were actually LHD. He said they came off a RHD camper... :roll: I explained by being LHD they are not worth the same as genuine R...

Am I right in thinking that the felt washer fits in the centre of the flywheel? If there was one originally, it disintegrated long ago.

Yes, it is to stop clutch dust getting into the spigot bearing
 

Looks OK. Just looks like the melted resins from a slipping clutch, clean them off with some emery cloth and then check for any cracks like this.

Really any dial type pressure gauge will work then. Also make a note of the difference in pressure between closed and wide open throttle to check the pressure regulator.

Yes, but if is carb fuel pressure, an oil pressure gauge may not be that accurate at that low pressure.

They are all made by the same company. Upgrade to the later tank and filler pipe. The tanks are so poorly made, the smaller filler neck allows more wriggle room through the chassis rail.

The plate under the front left seat will tell the engine and gearbox it left the factory with. What is the last two digits of the top row?
