A week ago we had a solar eclipse here. 🌑🌞🌚
This week the light appears again. Hoover mod to the case to feed the right side of the case better. Always a nerve wracking adventure of measuring, measuring, fearing and cutting.

This one is perfectly in line. 😎😎🤘

Testing a (crude) cutter for the first time.
I have been cooking up a cutter for over a year to cut single valve seats for double springs.

Yes I did weld it up, where it was intended to be fixed with screws. Yes the arbour was meant to be simple and not this connection contraption.

But yes, it works. First tests on a original VW head give a clean good cut and are true to seize.

Next up is a few more tests and a customer's heads.

A couple years ago I made a oilcooler mounting kit, that mounts to the torsion tube.
Originally made up of a couple of brackets, a protection plate that also doubles as a scoop to redirect air into the 48 plate cooler.

I have fitted it to both swing axle and IRS cars. Early and late brackets are available.
But also managed to fit it to my type 3. With the cooler slightly offset further to the back.

I think this setup is a good idea in a lot of situations.

But, I have had customers who only bought the brackets and fitted a 72 cooler with it.
Leaving them to come up with making their own protection plate.

So I am now fiddling with 2 ideas.

1. One is to fit a better cooler but similar in size. That is now being tested on my own beetle. Which have the benefit of being available with AN fittings.

2. A cooling fan to help move air better and also cool better when the car needs it and is sitting still in traffic. RP Custom Projects doesn't know it yet, but I will sit down with him to come up with either a new plate or an additional one to fit the fan so it clears everything.

Keep asking questions, keep shooting me your ideas and problems, I might be tempted to look into it and hopefully find a good solution.

EBI 11 was a blast! 💎🤘

I saw a lot of people, and I have had too little time to talk to them.
I saw quite a few cars with my engines or parts on them from my shop. It really makes me feel good.
I had great company to go there and stay at the chalet.
I had great food.
I had a good time racing my car with the new EFI setup.
And after the misfortune of Peter Huysmans car breaking down, I had to drive my 66 beetle, 125km to get home. Which it did. Without issues. Which gave me a serious confidence boost (even in these circumstances).

I want to thank all the EBI organizers ( Mike Walravens & Frederic Peeters ) and all the volunteers,
the BDRA crew together with Martin van Daatselaar and friends, for a well organised shoot out and staging line.
And all the people who I have met (new friends, old friends, future friends)
And to all passing by and who were interested in what I do on my car and in my shop.

Thank you! 🤘🚀🤘it keeps me motivated.
