  1. Thank you for the replys. From what I can tell, the 3 screws between the gearlever surround and the window switch panel simply keep the 2 parts together - they don't hold them secure to the body ? The window switch panel fits under the arm rest . I'm thinking that the radio may actually hold the gear lever surround in place . Just got to create a plug for the radio wires and finish fitting the dash instruments and then I'll try this . All switches in place and the cables for the heater . Have a slight issue on the fit between the heater motor and the heater - there is a foul that stops the on/off flap in the heater .
  2. Help please The trim piece round the gearlever/ radio has no visible means of support ( oooo) How is this held in place ? I'm reluctant to use the self tappers.
  3. Dash leather stuck down , with speaker holes lasered in . I've tried the interior in again, loosely , all looking good . Running out of excuses now ....
  4. Pete Excellent , thank you .
  5. Pete thanks for this - if you do have any in the engine bay that would be great cheers
  6. Can anyone help with pictures of the fuel line routing on an S2 . I could do with a pic showing how the tanks are linked / route of that line , how the pump mounts and where it feeds and the route of the output line to the carbs . And how the carbs are connected . I have a Holley pump with an external inline filter . Also , where does the inertia /cut-off valve fit into the system and how is it located ... Basically , how the ... do I plumb the fuel lines... Thanks in advance ...
  7. Today I checked if the radio worked before I install it . This was my dad's radio in a VW Jetta he had in 1983 ( actually my mum says it was her car ) . Connected it to a battery , speaker and aerial and it works fine - last used in 1985 .... I also finished the passenger's side carpet fitment and have half done the driver's side to secure the wiper motor .
  8. Think the Phaeton followed the B plus . My mate still has the B plus
  9. Nice to see a fellow ex-Dutton owner on here - I had a B-type ( first car ) and B plus .
  10. I think you are probably correct about the scrim used being a bit thick - I'll see how it goes ...
  11. David Too late , I've trimmed mine to fit round the seatbelt plastic covers - looks ok . The bottom of my door cards ( or rather the leather on them ) are a tight fit into the door aperture/trim - the doors close ok but need a good slam . Is this normal ? Is there a normal ?😀
  12. Done a bit more work . Fitted the wooden panels and carpets by the seatbelt mounts and bulhead carpet , as well as the pipe and valves between the fuel tanks - I'm having to get a lot of parts to fit , so progress is slow. I've also fitted a couple of carpet sections . The door cards have been off and on many times and I now have both new internal door handles working - I'm now ready to fit new plastic to the doors , fit the new felt trims and then attach wires and fit one last time .. maybe . The holes for the dash speaker have been lasered into the leather and that should be stuck down soon
  13. Just a comment on the coil placement - I've been persuaded not to put them in the engine bay to keep the vibrations they see down , but rather mount them like Drdoom under the floor boards .
  14. I'm finding that everything I plan on the car requires lateral thinking 🤣
  15. Thanks David - the hole makes no sense - if you have to lift the cill carpet to get to the hole , you might as well undo the cill ...
