R1 campervan


Cold start.

So a basic the R1 cans have been tapped and the extra stainless bolts required to support the horizontal and secure the end caps are all fitted. The main manifold bolts are now stainless with crush copper nuts. The straps have been wrapped around the cans further down as it perfectly alligns with the inner bumper bolt to which it is now connected. I initially used this as a quick fix but now believe connected here with the rubber vibration bolt thing will be purrrrrfect!!! I also have a copper manifold to xaust gasket (i made it) so am strill evaluating this....but it was making some really mad grumbling sounds throught town tonite!!!!!R1 VW Kombi RULES!!!


Hot idle.

Sorry videos play good sound but poor visual...so i have included a couple a pics showing a little more (dark) the blue stainless looks brilliant! The tow hook has been cut off but can be welded back with some simple mods
