Creaking clutch pedal , how have I never read about Kennedy pressure plates not working great with stock clutch lever bushes .
Realised this after 20 years of creaking , plus few weeks ago replaced cable , cable lever , lubed up the pedal lever and bushes , replaced Bowden tube and still the same , sprayed duck oil up onto crosshaft lever and hey presto no creak for a few days . So tried hunting down 16mm crosshaft bushings and only finding bigger versions , phosphor bronze chunk ordered and made one (2 just incase i messed first one up ) , just hole to drill , job ticked i hope or its for sale 😆
Fixed a few nice easy fixes that should have been done aaaaaages ago , so treated bus to some new shocks , a bit stiffer than what I usually have on it , but should be less bouncy up front so thanks to @type2detectives for sorting these for next day . Even treated the bus to its bellyache going back on and a sprinkle of lanoguard snake oil . Just opposite spindle set to strip and rebuild grease . Saftey crocs worn at all times #neverending
Had this rubber doo dad for ages , found it and thought 2 minutes to fit , why oh why have I never fitted it after 20+ years of having the bus i now have a rubber thingy on my dip switch . #smallgoals #itsthesmallthings
Well that went off fast , tracking last week , thought grease up kingpins, noticed a bit of rubbing going on , so all out , 1 x link pin decided to move , 1 x trailing arm later (handy me stocking brand spanking new ones) 1 x clean and degrease parts and check bearings etc 2 x grease tubes with the hope that maybe half of one got into pins and beam .
Drives alot nicer now #shouldhavelookedatitagesago #vwsplitscreenvanclub #vwsplitscreen
Porsche 356 / 912 / Early Volkswagen fan housing velocity rings on the go , went to the cupboard and it said not today , so trying to remember how the hell i did them last time #no fun #metalshaping #nortonflypress
Dragged old tetanus out for a trip to the seaside this morning . #vwbeetle #vwbug #vwaircooled
20 pence shaped wheels anyone ?
So glad I dont pay road tax . Bit of bending looking alot better but tyre balancer may have a fit 😆. Anyone know what offset genuine 4.5" sprintstars are ? #potholessuck #vwsplitscreen #lemmerz
Setting up the Steering on these stupid lowered things can be a bit tricky , worse when chassis is not notched . But 1 cleaned out garage pit , 1 artery severed and doing 10000 steps getting up and down into the pit with various test drives it seems alot better now .
Oh and had an oil and filter change because filter had perished . #dunlopguages #vwsplitscreen #vwt1 #garagepit #neverending
