Re: How do you mount bikes on your ladders?

Possibly. It depends on size of bike, wheel diameter, whether wheel taken off, and where spare tire is hung.

Re: How do you mount bikes on your ladders?

I have a rack, designed I think for a T2 but will fit over 14” tires of any vehicle, that can carry a single bike hanging off a rear mounted spare wheel. It can be taken off when not in use.
I could dig it out for photos. I could even be persuaded to sell it!

Re: Flushing out a syncro fuel tank

I used a donor syncro diesel tank in my petrol syncro. It was dry as a bone, but gave it a slosh around with a dollop of petrol which then went in my petrol lawn mower. Both mower and Syncro are still running fine.  :D I also have a petrol syncro tank available for swapping or purchase, in North Som...

AGG is a 2L NA petrol engine. Mine came from a Golf MK3 GTI.

Re: Syncro engine swap - DJ to AGG

Regular MOT for safety checks.
Also a basic report from a garage saying “the engine has been swapped and the installation is sound” for DVLA to update their records.
Also tell your insurer.

Re: Syncro engine swap - DJ to AGG

It’s legal! If only I knew then what I know now - this is what I wrote 3rd April 2015 “And so its starts. What better way for a chap to spend 16 days while his wife is away. This should be easy eh! Step 1 = take DJ out step 2 = take AGG out step 3 = put AGG in What could possibly go wrong?” Thanks f...

It’s not mine. On east coast. I’ve pointed owner at this thread, so you should hear from him.

Re: Rusty roof chop

I’m also just staring to look at what bulkheads are available that I can utilise. I’ve seen a T6 one and a Sprinter one advertised fairly locally so I’m going to have a look and measure up and see if one of them will be suitable. I know of a T25 B pillar full internal bulkhead with small window, co...

Re: Syncro engine swap - DJ to AGG

Thank you, but don’t beat yourself up. Since 2018 the gory details have been on Fb. Wolfy has new, quieter exhaust. I’m hoping it lives up to the promise as I like quiet. I could’ve tried to cobble one together myself, but after 5 years I’m grabbing all chances to speed things up by buying in soluti...
