LOL yeah I've heard of other people say similar things. I actually went to buy a bug in the 90s and the amount of endfloat it had was truely insane, but the guy was still driving it. I guess it's a balance between running till its dead and not running too long so the case is still recoverable. Thanks for the feedback 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar NOTHING was recoverable in this one when I took this (still running) engine apart!!! Actually, a lie - the cam plug was ok...

@thedubwhisperer2157 LOL 😅. You'll have to start upcycling! The Aircooled CT motor I split because was a mile out of spec, and noone seems to have the extra long tooling needed to line bored these 'rare' cases, is probably destined to be a lamp like this one... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7uhhMyU27LOlKc.html You can give the old broken crap that you won't throw away to people as gifts and it no longer fills your garage, bonus! 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar Great idea! I'm always disappointed that Auto Linea didn't include an oil filter like the CT on their repro aluminium cases...

Yeah that does seem bit of a strange move as that was a good upgrade. I believe you can buy a oil pump take off plate to do something similar as is one on one of my engines, not sure where it came from however. Would at least save having the case tapped. It does affect the exhaust you can use tho as was going to use a low profile setup similar to stock, the exhaust you see in my 1600 upgrade vid, but won't work with the filter in place so means using a full header. 😊👍

@@davewhipp5051 Thank you 😊👍

Thanks for the kind words. I'll be honest I was in a total crazy rush to be somewhere and didn't have time to start bleeding the van. As you saw things were quite crunchy around there and if you saw the state of the bleed nipples I didn't think they would even come out. I've actually replaced them since and they did with the aid of heat and mole grips. I wasn't so fortunate up front! 🙄😅. But yes your right, I really should have paid them more attention in the video or just replaced them for what they cost. Got to say though, I've been very lucky over the years and had few failures on my old vdubs, never on a T25. Thanks for the great feedback 😊👍

Tx bud. Just need to apply for a media pass through Santa Pod. Took a while so not sure if they were vetting me or the channel etc or what the requirements are? Best if luck 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar Amazing thanks so much!

@Slycxd Got to say it was a HARD weekend. Kinda ruined it. It was cool to catch the racing a close up, but stood there in the melting head from 9.30 till 7 one day and try must me I'd had enough by that point! So if you go to be Bugjam to party it becomes a bit more like a weekends work if that makes sense. I didn't even get to check out the stalls n stuff and barely saw my mates. Still a good experience mind 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar fair enough thanks for the information. Got some good shots out of it though!

@Slycxd yeah deffo. I'll drop you a sub, might help out. Hard grind to 1k! 😅👍 GL with the channel 😊

Sorry my friend. I'm trying harder in my latest videos to project and be clearer, but even Wallace & Gromit needed subtitles! Ah do luv a bit o Gorgonzola! 😅👍

Thanks for the kind words 😊👍

Np my pleasure. If you have access to an air line that would be less messy! But mine weren't budging with air pressure. Good luck 😊👍

@@QuillsVWsurgeryUK My pleasure thanks for watching 😊👍

@@rogergorden9023 Yeah sorry about that. I'm not great speaker, in life I'm generally quiet and chill, it takes me a lot of effort to 'project', but I'm gradually getting better at it 😅 Ive actually sold the polishing media as the Ali Oxide works so well on the things I need to clean, maybe I should have tried both together. Best of luck and thanks for watching. 😊👍

@@JamesGodish My pleasure thanks for watching 😊👍

Yeah I like it too. Wonder what it would be like after an hour on the motorway tho!? 😅

Splitscreen Type 2 Van, would love one but way out my price range now days. 🥴

NP, that sound fun too! Hope you have a fab holiday 😊👍

Thanks dude glad you like it. You should come to VW Action in September, plenty more interesting bugs 😊👍

Yeah, that's what I mentioned I can't attend. Sorry, but my family are all going to Greece then.

Oh well, that sounds even better! 😊👍

LOL I'll tell Gavin to check the comments you will make his day! Thanks for watching 😊👍(PS, he is selling it for a new T25 project).

@@sethwhite7945 Really, I never looked that close and he said yes so thought correct 😅 I'll have to look back over the footage. Come to think of it I think it's its a flat screen. Oh well stupid things spout out my mouth all the time and sometimes I just miss editing them out! 😅👍

@@BajaBill7 Hi Bill. What did you replace it for out of interest?

@@PeoplesCar I had a bobcat on before, but it went rusty within 6 months. Heritage sent me this one when I complained, but by that time I'd put my old 4 into 1 back on because I wanted to run heat exchangers!

Thanks dude, its really dangerous driving hanging out the window though! 😅👍

Erm? Is this because Yorkshire men also have the reputation for not spending money? 😅

@@craigmonteforte6111 I had to look up Faiugex, thought it might be a new word for fatigue! 😅. Yeah absolutely agree. It's quite incredible if you think how many firings each barrel, revolutions of the crankshaft and heat up cool down cycles our 50 year old machinery will have done. The only downside of that is manufacturing quality. I would Hooe aftermarket cases etc are better than some of the other aftermarket parts you can buy. Thanks for watching 😊👍

@@r-joule yeah pretty much. My plate was messed with so had to relocate it to the factory position. Your is probably there already and quick to check with the 2 holes. Set stick into neutral. Loosen the linkage u bolt make sure the front and back section moves free and independently. Chock the box. Make sure rear section is in the correct up down central neutral position. Reconnect linkage u bolt. Remove Chock. Jobs a good-en. Beat of luck.😊👍

@@boosTiMon I'm going to have to get my garage spectacles now to see what those symbols are! 😅

@@PeoplesCar The good vibe emojis to get rid of the rust gremlins 😃

@@boosTiMon o Oh brilliant tx. Saved me tidying the garage! 😅👍

@@ScotNomad Thanks, I'll do my best 😊👍

@@ScotNomad Thankyou 😊👍

Brilliant stuff, thanks for watching 😊👍

Funny you should say that. I don't usually pay attention to trophies but did notice how cool these ones were. One was a complete Supercharger, think that might have been a bit big for the shelf! 😅👍Thanks for watching 😎

@markf4258 Tja ks very much. They tend to run Erco (totally flat ones) or centreline (with rivets). Racers use race weight wheels tho and you shouldn't use on the street as hit a pot hole and likely to bend. I think most major suppliers will sell a version of the centerline tho im not sure you can still buy genuine ones now. Not sure about the Erco sorry. Best of luck 😊👍

@@rextilian If your in the UK or possibly a wet state the pipes out the top of the tank are often degraded, on the last van mine literally crumbled in my hands. I ended up replacing sections with copper tubing I made but its not ideal. May need new rubbers can buy them. Make sure you buy a decent fuel filler seal as mine leaked when new, also there are 2 sizes for early and late vans. Best of luck 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar Thank you very much for the response. Tips from someone who has been before me is greatly appreciated. 👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦

@@cristianalexborges4520 Muito obrigado pelas amáveis ​​palavras. O KZfaq não traduz nem permite a cópia de comentários, por isso leva algum tempo para resolver isso. Estarei em Portugal ainda este ano, com um pouco de sorte poderei apanhar alguns dos carros que tem lá, vou levar uma pequena máquina fotográfica só para garantir! Kkkkkk 😊👍

@@markgutter8443 My pleasure thanks for watching 😊👍

@@Vrindavanexpress lol thankyou 😊👍

@@robertscott7102 Yeah that was my concern too. Thread lock should help. At the Balance bar side there wasn't enough length to put a lock nut there, almost ran out of thread adjusting it, but at the other side an option for sure. Thanks for watching 😊👍

@@chuckb6691 Thanks for the kind words 😊👍

@@GraemeSimpsonPhotography awesome stuff glad it helped 😊👍

@@stephenhornigold3993 lol thanks 😊👍

There is a link in the description to the AM Tech adjustable I use. I have 3 and think are the best. Solid really wide opening jaws that aren't too fat which can be a problem with some and pretty short so good in tighter spacers. 32mm wide jaw are the best imho.

AMTech ADJUSTABLE WRENCH ebayUK: ebay.us/JTuc93 ebayCOM: ebay.us/TwKyx6 I like the 38mm wide jaw ones 😊👍

If your lucky enough to own a set then I woukd say yes to sure. As I mention at the end of the vid, this tool is perfect for holding a nut/bolt combo tight when you don't have 2. As a spanner, forget it 😅 Check out the wide jaw 32mm adjustable linked in the video description. This would do the same job better and are super useful and cheap. I have 3! 😅

@@user-cd9rd7jb2z depends what you want it for. If you watch till the end if the video I found a good use for it, but in most circumstances, IMHO not really. 😊👍

@@user-cd9rd7jb2z I like the black one looks wise bugt not used it enough to know if the paint comes off yet 😅👍

@@Williamfeuz if you going to do the exhaust too then I had great performance from a pair of Webber ITC 34s, tho pretty much any good set of duals will allow you better air flow and response. If you keeping the rest stock then I'd just roll with the stock solex and get it running nicely as Volkswagen intended. Tx for watching 😊👍

Glad I could help, thanks for watching and welcome to the scene 😊👍

Hi bud. Thanks 😊👍 I didn't really like them when bought them, was more about lack of budget on a Fuch hunt, but have since fallen in love with them and wouldn't change now. Cheers for watching 😊👍

Yes I agree. As mentioned in the vid most won't need this and should be able to lock those wheels if working as intended with a fairly stock bug, even on drums up front. Thanks for watching 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar I enjoyed the video.

@@MarkLoves2Fly Thankyou 😊👍

Awesome stuff sounds like a plan! 😊👍 Love the German Porsche Cup look, they used to be so cheap too, getting harder to find for sensible money now, tho can now get repro i believe. I didn't like teledials when bought them as wanted fuch, but were out of budget. Have fallen in love with them now tho. Best of luck and thanks for watching 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar Yeah the cup2 is getting expensive. I should have bought them years ago when they were cheap, alas, i had other priorities to attend to. I need to find some fast before i can't get the originals again.

@@badbug911 if I spot anything locally I'll post back here 😊👍

@@PeoplesCar Thank you.

Tbh I don't want any more bite on the front. Ideally the bias valve woukd be fitted and sending more to the rear. May consider some for the rear tho thanks for the hint. Do they go by a specific name? Tx for watching. 😊👍

I like to try and keep things Interesting, and frustrating for myself 😅. Thanks for the kind words and for watching 👍

Not sure you replied to the correct video. I always though RFKJ speaks a lot of sense 😊👍

@@VWFarm Tx dude. Was genuinely chuffed how well it worked and way better than thr rotating tumbler I decomissioned. Just cleaned some old tools I found last week, really handy. Tx for watching 😊👍
