    Tinware cutting through air hoses .. resolutions?

    I just bought, what I thought were air-hose grommets for the tinware (type1) but the fit is terrible and almost impossible to thread the hose through. Any other suggestions for resolving the repeating challenge of air hose wear? Go CSP stainless for example? Cheers Sent from my iPhone...

    MOT Info ...

    Hi, My 72 crossover passed it's MOT today which is great but it did initially fail on a "new" directive. This was not having the batteries fixed down via a strap, or something similar, in the engine bay. They never have been so it must be new. Just thought I would let you guys know...

    Techenders Sept 14-16 2012 - learn a bit about your van.

    Hi, my van is pretty good but would love to bring my Type 3 if it's possible as it has twin carbs and an Auto box which I know nothing about. Is this possible?

    A family car to match my bus?!

    Hi, thanks all. it's a 72 from Aus, I think the colour is Dulux Mustard (according to VW club Aus) which was used on exported vw's only from what I can tell. I have some issues with the engine that needs sorting out. Does anyone know a good type 3 bod that can service and rebuild if necessary?
