Where in Ireland are you ?
What have you done to yours so far?

Just a question, when you fitted the cossy in the van where did you connect the brake servo to? reason i ask is i'm doing a cossy conversion myself and have been told the mk3 granny had electric servos so nowhere to fit the vacuum pipe to. :?

I kept the mk2 servo so that problem did not arise for me.
Ifyou have any more questions dont hesitate to ask as i know how frustrating it can be.

Got the van out for its first drive yesterday :D Did not go far as I wanted to be sure everything was ok and touch wood all ok.Exhaust banging slightly and I must adjust the accelerator cable but happy overall .
Had to get it going after going to a show and seeing a couple there including oldschooler.

Good day
