I often wear shorts so tuck the end of my special soldier in that cubby hole or it just keeps banging the clutch pedal.
Dave, there's new hole in the dash where the cold start lever isn't. could put a gauge on a bracket somewhere there?
I do actually like your dash mount idea - as long as the gauge you buy isn't too fast and furious then it'll fit with that sort of retro hot rod type thang* you got going on
*ha, ha your van's a barn find cafe race bobber.... therefore you are a hipster.

Still need some power steering fluid - when I did my big CP4less buy don't think they had any, though may have got some from pats....

Got the PSF.
Time to do the coolant hoses,starting off using the metal pipe from the AHU donor the end was cut off, then because it wasn't very round I hammered a socket in to make it round then a bigger socket to flare the end a bit
Original header tank pipe fitted
Cut down the original heater pipe a bit at a time, test fitting every time
And fitted
The other original heater hose had been 'repaired' sometime in the past with a piece of copper pipe and a couple of jubblys
Removed the repair and trimmed the ends - I can do something with this
Chopped the top section in half again
Might need something here
Bit of stainless will do the trick
Though the other bit of SEAT AHU pipe I found might have worked here as well
Few pics of the standard AHU bits used - just for the benefit of another forum user
Dunno why these photos below are here - cant see them in the edit window????Last edited by regcheeseman; 4 July 2017, 11:47 PM. Reason: This uploader is a shitter - wheres the preview button
