To slow, i'm working to get the bus ready for the season as well. If i could work on "GrauZone" for a week,
she would be ready. But this ungodly weather is depressing me, nothing descent comes out of my hands.

 Cool
I just have to give myself a kick in the butt to get things done. Dad is not good, so that's my main thing. I just cannot concentrate. (Plus it's only a makeover of the car).

Dad is OK, Thank God.  Jim, JeePee, Sarge and UD pushed Figment. So it's time to move on. Today i finally started working on the Jubi again. Made new inspection covers, loosely installed the Dzused fenders since i would like to install the (thicker Mercedes) beading...(5 mill).
I'm still waiting on the apron to be painted but it's just to cold to do that in a garage. I'm using the
Geers Oil Filter as a gas filter, just changed the original o-ring for a viton.
I used my old rear engine cover as a template for a new one, this time however i will fabricate some
heat deflectors on the underside of the white dots (pic).

Plus i have a pesky sparkplug in my house.....

Back to work. PS. If one has to order spacers for Erco's up front, go for 20 mm instead of 10mm. The balancing lead on the inside of the wheels will not clear the calipers...

No painting or powdercoating, as soon as i had the tyres on and mounted them i had that gut-feeling that they looked good with the Zinngrau paint. (even if 4 bolt). I will polish them one more time. Me like, and now finish the damn thing.

Hi Guys, I'm seriously considering switching over to CSP Porsche cooling system, (aluminum case = heat). But i would like to keep my MSD distributor. Does the shroud leave space enough ? I don't want to hack/grind in the new shroud.
Any comments are appreciated. Maybe Gunter could comment on this also.

Thanks.

Seems that "porsche style" cooling system is one of the less efficient, so why would you want to switch to that?

I agree with Roland as it seems that the original cooling system on type 1 is better than a porsche style.

Thanks Guys, i think the Porsche style system is blowing over the entire block/case, thus moving a lot of engine-heat away.
Let me know if i'm wrong.

Well to me the engine case is not the hot part to be cooled down.. and it's not finned, so even if it's being blown with air I doubt it makes any difference..

Gotta get most of the air on cylinders & heads, that's what needs cooling...

Just what I have, with alu case too, for my 2110. With decklid opened at the top, doesn't heat, even on highways...

yep same here, alu case, 2179cc, 10/1 compression, power pulley (so slower fan speed) and with a small external oil cooler, doesn't heat, even runs too cool sometimes.
But I have to say, all the tin is new and steve spend hours on fitting the tin like it should be on my engine...  guess that helps for a perfect cooling setup.  Smiley
