Love the work on the Van - Excellent stuff!

Quick Q regarding the banded steels - I want a set done for my New Beetle (I want 2" bands added I think), if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost and where did you get them done?

i got them done by a lad in london, i posted his number in the customising section (banded steels on a transit anyone!)

its 40 quid for 13,s 45 for 14,s so i imagine youe beetle rims id be 50 each being 15,s

Cheers bud, That isn't too bad a price tbh! My New Beetles Rims are 16"s but thats still quite cheap if they were £55 a piece

I'll have a look

im running the fan that came on the mk5 engine.

id be inclined to convert to the bosch pump rather than keep the epic, lot less possible electrical problems but just my opinion.

[tonypastie1]

my fan is differant and it look like it will rub the front cross member? well currently it sat on x member and will rub unless i trim the blades
i used mk5 engine mounts is this why ?
crap pictures
i will get better

[tonypastie1]

think we worked out my van has a differant fan as it had aircon also bottom pulley is differant so we are going to change it to the same as yours loads thinner
also we are going to fit the 146 pump i got and bin the electrics hope it works

no not yet they will do

[oldskooler]

you should gain enough clearance with the mk5 fan, mine is uber close but just clears, used torub the crossmember slightly taking off in first gear till i shimmed up the mounts a bit!!

that crossmember and outer panel really are mint!!!

[tonypastie1]

What did u do about clutch I just had new clutch fitted and hooked the orignall petrol cable on
And it feels light but like yours I think the realise bearing will rub but not run it yet?
