Cigar holder?

[regcheeseman]

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.

Walked into that one.

[Dave Sausages]

hipster.

I've never been so insulted in all my life

[Dave Sausages]

I'll go for the mocal one I linked, it's the only one I like out of a sea of ebay shit. I'll also go for a plain black dash mount pod thingymajig. I keep my phone/sat nav/camera/whatever in that cubby hole where Reg shoves his cock

Cheers - I do try.

Found these for you



Nearly bought them but thought better of it.

What colour do you want - black, orange, green, yellow, red, blue, purple?

[Dave Sausages]

May as well stick to black, never gonna be on show down there

[regcheeseman]

bugger - just filled my basket with orange.

[regcheeseman]

The black is slightly dearer - still want?

Nope - found it for same price.....

...and they are out of stock.

[Dave Sausages]

Go with orange then love

[regcheeseman]

Ordered an ting.

[Dave Sausages]

Boost gauge, mount and tubing ordered and on its way direct to you...

Nice one - should all come together fairly quickly now. Maybe done by the weekend......

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....

[regcheeseman]

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????

[regcheeseman]

Found the air intake sensor and put it somewhere it needs to go


Fitted the engine cover - couldn't resist colouring in the letters and adding to them
