    It's what I have in mine and I think @nicktuft.
    @snotty you tempted?
    If I had some spare folding I think I would be interested in a spare.

  2. Ooooh. Tempting. Wonder what shipping from Austria would be?
     
  3. Did you buy one of the VW Heritage ones when they were flogging them? Always kicked myself for not buying one.

    No it came out of a T25. I bought it off a breaker/spares guy from Preston. If you remember PO had wired the reg wrong and I was getting 17v to the battery.

  6. I bought one of the heritage ones...it looked like an old engine after changing over the 12v electrics, fan shroud and old tinware etc. I’ve attached a a couple of pics of before and after a little tidying... 73057537-859A-4F76-AC40-F2F68EA8FC5D.jpeg 75929186-AC8C-4D35-B3C0-2B3B493A0052.jpeg

  8. Dipstick is in a funny place. Where would you get one as cu have a long one and CJ short but goes in through the fan housing ??

    Indeed it does but is best accessed through the engine inspection lid.
    Oil filling is a bit awkward but doable.

    And have you still got the original air cleaner?

  15. Oh right yeah, I dunno to be honest. If anyone buys one of these engines without one, I can measure up my stick for them
