Silly questions you're afraid to ask about your bay

What's the thread size on wheel nuts?
Is it M14 on stock wheels?

 

should i have simply replaced the bulb holders and bulbs for my dash lamps (all) as i have just done, rather than doing cont. cable checks, removing and cleaning gennie,voltage reg., replacing all cable end fittings , cleaning the earth straps,seeking out like minded people on this forum to ask advice, checking output levels , well should I? p.s. lamps now all working

 

Did I remember to do that bolt up hmmm lol

 

Just fitted a hot start relay. And putting it in the engine bay of my van, my question is. Can I earth it to my firewall?

 

How "easy" is it really to remove a Type 4 2.0l lump and what tools would I need other than spanners and screwdrivers?

I've only ever done a bug engine twice and that was many moons a go!

 

Four bolts holding the engine bar, four bolts holding the gearbox to the engine. A few wires to unplug. Fuel line to be removed. Some of the tinware needs to be removed. Then it's a case of wiggle, pull, drop over and over until its out. About 45 mins after practice

 

How high has the rear end of my bus gotta be to obtain suitable clearance?

 

High.

If your dropping the engine down onto a roll board like I do then quite high. Two foot(?) best bet it to roughly measure the total height of the engine from sump to the top of the carbs

 

Damn, that's not happening then :-(

 

below the drivers seat there is a "pull out" handle/leaver connected to a cable >>>dunno ?????

 

I was looking under the front of Dougal the other day and there seems to be a large container, metal, almost sump like, I've looked in my Haynes but nothing, any clues ?, under the front bumper
