    Nice work Ray.

    You would think an accountant would have more sense than buy a bay.

    You'd think an accountant would have it as his company car ;)

    Arrived in post today from mega-bug, took it to get it powder coated at mid day and ready by 3pm. Just need the other bits (hinge etc.) before I can fit it back in the van :)

    It's funny as at one point couldn't get one and now today two turned up in the post :)

    Brilliant well happy

    Hope it fits well with the parts that should arrive from heritage in the next few days :)

    Yippee the hinge, spring and pedal pin arrived today... Didn't take me long to dismantle the old pedal give it all a good clean and then make up the new pedal.

    You can see I need to get a couple of circlips and another clip for the push rod

    VWH said I don't need circlips apparently as its not in their picture :rolleyes: - you can clearly see I do.

    A job at the weekend to fix it all to the van.

    The pins are usually a smaller dia in the centre where the spring locates. The spring stops the pin slipping out and no circlips needed. VWH could do with looking at their kits.

    It wasn't a kit they sold. I noted they had the other type pin but I didn't like the look of it (mainly because I've sent back lots of brazzy carp) and this pins looks a better option and more secure + it fits very well. Just need to fit a couple of circlips which heritage don't sale and said its not needed.
     
  9. E clips are probably what you need :thumbsup:

    There for the electrical connection :lol:

    There something to do with the auto box

    It operates the kickdown solenoid see Bentley Section7 page 11 subsection 5.2

    Ahh cheers!! I did wonder if it was auto related as ours don't have the wiring fitted!!
     
  14. i used the other type i found they were easier to use and if you needed to dismantle and they were stronger with small washer , other e or c ones are ok too but i preferred these . Both shown [​IMG]
