Anderzander Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Looks nice !! How did you get on with the engine (rubber) mounts fitting in the mounting brackets ? Did you have to trim them? It doesn’t look like it there ... 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Great so far. Going to need some nice original wheels, though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can' make my mind up originally I was going to fit LWB rims but I've got 2x full sets of modular rims all 5.5 j and got thinking leaving the rims on but painted in Limestone and if I do get a Sankey trailer I can use 3 off the spare modular rims for that as if I get a Sankey it will be painted to match the 2a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Roll on next Friday and I get my bonus so I can get my turbo, it feels like ages since I last worked on the 2a fitting and painting the manifolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJ Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Great thread. You mentioned a galvanised bulkhead earlier, is that a new one and if so can you post a link to the supplier please? I’m going to be following in your footsteps with my S3 SWB and a new galv bulkhead could be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry we've not decided on where we are getting the bulkhead from yet as I am waiting to get my son's wedding out of the way and at the same time get my share/save money through from work which all happens in May this year so will let you no then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 At last I've ordered my new turbo aswell as an EGR valve blanking plate kit ( 300tdi exhaust manifold ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 My new 300tdi turbo arrived yesterday so as I am off this week ( hol's ) I will fit it, hopfully the EGR valve blanking plate kit should arrive later today then I can fit everything together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just need to remove the manifold i bought, painted and fitted a while back as i didn't realise the turbo came with part of the manifold as the manifold i bought was a complete manifold and just had the turbo removed so really i fitted it, painted and fitted it all for nothing but then again i would have needed the manifold endes anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
