post edited as I see your running an Aircooled box.

new brake fluid every 2 years - as vw recomended

don't forget to remove / strip the brake valve from under the vehicle as they can seize , or block up with grudge.

more contact with road , but less tyre wall so technically harder ride

more grip if you adjust the pressure to suit and its not an old hard tyre!

you will need to know the code from your present box ' from a diesel ' means nothing as some diesels have the same gears as petrol boxes! you will then need to google gearbox codes and tyre speed calculator , it will work out for you the engine speed at mph. more accurate than what you think now! do...

yes no problem if wired up correctly

tamper-proof for safety's sake
