WBX Tinware ?

Post by Cobra88 »

Hi All

Is it safe to remove the tinware from under the pushrod tubes and drive the Van ?

That way I can keep an eye out for leaks easier.

Regards
Rick

Yeh for a while but it's mote risky if you drive off paved roads.

had none on my tin top for a month or two now, must put them back.

Hi itchyfeet

I don't want to have to keep taking manifold nuts off & on each time to check.

I might make some modded brackets that separate away from those studs I think

Thanks for the reply ;)

Regards
Rick

In the past, particularly with bugs, I've cut and made ally tinware to protect pushrod tubes, They don't rust and tend to be way easier to remove.

take the manufold nuts off once then hook them over later, I never fit them under the nuts always hook on then they are removable easily
