Hi, has anyone with a Viking roof ever replaced the gas struts? One of mine has broken and the other isn't enough to do the job on it's own. Where to find...?

I was told by the guy at The Engine Shop (who built the engine) to use a 009 and standard coil on this engine with the 40 IDF's, rather than the stock vacuum advance unit with electronic ignition, which would not be suitable...should I be confused yet?

I am fitting a 009 to my Type 4 CU motor (with twin 40 IDF's) - where do I connect the (green) condenser lead to? Also, I have changed the coil for a new Bosch Blue unit, which has + and - terminals instead of 1 and 15 - there is a black lead from the wiring loom, to which will this connect? Thanks ...

Is anyone able to identify which is the inlet and which is the outlet on a T25 fuel pump fitted to a 2 litre Aircooled motor? I could turn the motor over to find out, but as it is new, I would rather get it right first time! And I don't really want to take it off to find out either, but will if I ha...

Hi, have fitted an EMPI twin box exhaust to my 2 litre T25 and it fouls the rear valance. What is the generally accepted method of sorting this? I could bend it backwards, forwards or cut it off!

oil filter chain wrench around the pulley worked fine, forgot I had it and it's so long since I last used it that it never even occurred to me...many thanks.

Does anyone have a tip on removing the heater fan from the alternator on a T4 2000cc engine in a T25? If I lock the alternator cooling fan, it just turns, and wrapping the aluminium heater fan in a rag and standing on it is just going to bend it! Any ideas about stopping the alternator shaft turning...

thanks for the reply, another question...there are two take-offs on each manifold leg, does yours have these? shall I blank them off or should they be connected to something?

I am installing a pair of twin 40IDF Weber carbs on a 2.0 litre CU into my T25. I have the manifolds and linkage, any tips/hints about fuel lines, vacuum lines, fuel pumps, air filters, carb settings etc would be very much appreciated. The engine is stock reconditioned (from TES) apart from a fast r...
