I've just bought an ex BT van and the interior is exactly the same. Could you email me a copy of this wiring diagram please?
I will need your email address
Lovely job Ian.
What you have there is two different gear selector quadrant plungers. If it has a ring round the top under the slope then it is a five speed gear selector quadrant plunger. They can never work with a four speed gearbox and vicea versa. The ones you ended up fitting are correct for a four speed box. When it comes to using gasket sealer, Yamabond or three bond is hard to beat as it sets a bit like plastic and always seals good. Just my two cents.
Yes that would make perfect sense as the five speed quadrant has more teeth which are closer together so doesn't need to move so far. I do prefer to use traditional non-setting sealants, Wellseal usually does the job (I think that's what the factory used) but the surfaces do need to be good. Hermatite Red for poor surfaces.
Ciao anche io possiedo un accessorio così ma devo montarlo su uno scooter 50 cc sai come si fa ?
I don't have much experience of 50cc scooters, you will need a wiring diagram for your scooter and try to work it out.
Thanks for the upload
Definitely coming along. Great progress Ian.
How is it collapsable?
The axle/wheel beam can be unbolted from the main section so it can go in the back of a van.
Hi where did you get this from please. I would like to obtain the full BT Fiat Ducato workshop instructions but cannot find them
got this with the van but sorry I don't have full workshop instructions, I would think Haynes do a manual.
@@InTheShedUK Checked out Haynes they dont - for the Bri stor elements anyway. Bri-stor are not being that helpful. Do you have the original Bri-stor plan in your video do you still need it? Your youtube is very good its just missing the detail in the bottom right corner of the diagram. Keep up the good works
@@inkywarmsp If you mean Tow/Step Sensors detail it's at 1:36 I do want to hang on to the plan but could email you a copy of the image.
Who's told you to measure piston - bore clearance like that?? As for the cam follow blocks ...you need to support the barrels on the base flanges ..warm the barrels up to 100° minimum and put the blocks in the freezer. What you're doing is completely wrong and very likely you're going crack the barrels hammering away like that..very risky 😮
Bore clearance - perfectly ok to use a feeler gauge, unless your building a high performance racing engine! If you have a bore gauge, that's great, most of us don't so we use the old fashioned feeler gauge method. Official Triumph workshop manual makes no reference to heating the barrels or freezing the blocks so if it's good enough for Triumph it's fine by me! Some people use heat, some don't. If you want to heat/freeze then that's fine.
Probably a bit late now but looking at the video, the new springs seem to have an extra coil or part of a coil over the old ones; 6 instead of 5. Another thing that crossed my mind was that 650 camshaft could have a higher lift than the 500 one. Anyway, I hope is is running OK now. Lindsay in Burwell.
Yes the new springs have maybe half a coil too much and the wire diameter is greater then the old ones. 650 cams were used on the Wasp (500cc) engine, 0.040" more lift and more valve open duration giving greater power at high RPM, the rest of the valve train is the same as the A50.
Great video, using the parts to hand. A must see for anyone building one of those gearboxes.
Thank you so much for this video~ it’s the most detailed and helpful on I can find on the internet. I’m still having issues with getting the tach to work with my Honda Ruckus (which is a single-cylinder 4 stroke engine). Thanks to your video I’m able to get into the programming option. I tried setting it to both 2 and 4 cylinder and it doesn’t work. I splice the red/black wire into the coil wire (black/yellow) going into my ECU and still no tach reading.
Honda Ruckus has CDI ignition and I think you have to connect the tacho input to the pulsar (blue/yellow) wire, from what I have read there should be a 'service check' connector under the battery box which connects directly to the pulsar wire, might be possible to pick up the blue/yellow connection there. Or you could try wrapping a wire around the HT lead and use that for tacho input. Let me know how it goes.
Very nice lathe sir.
hi Ian that went well and much easier than the 5 speed box and less parts to fiddle with, anyway take care Ian regards Adrian.
Yes I have heard the five speed is a bit of a challenge!
Nice to find a newer video. Just bought a 65T and hit a speed bump one day in a parking lot on the frame and broke my speedometer drive and have gear selection problems once the motor gets hot. It's not a lot of fun attempting to drive back to the garage in 2nd in a 55 zone. First bike so it's a bit daunting tearing into it.
Hope all goes well with your repairs
This was a big help in fitting a VFD to my mill. The remote switch wiring was cofusing for me but your wiring diagram was easy to follow. Thank you!
The Rickman CR Honda was nice. I've never seen one in the flesh.
A lot of nice machines there
Fiddly job Ian, especially as you can't do it out of the frame. It's a real boon, being able to make your own tooling. It's probably the bulk of my lathes workload. Best wishes, Dean.
Triumph did actually get it right in 1970 when they made the front engine bracket detachable so you could get the engine in/out with the rocker boxes on. 1971 they went to OIF and returned to a welded front bracket!
hi Ian them mandrill tools make life easy when fitting those rocker spindles don't they, now for the gearbox O what fun. anyway take Ian kind regards Adrian.
Yes wish I had made some when I rebuilt the A50!
WoW! That’s Awesome! Have a lovely week! 🤩❤️✨
Any uk gov. Computer system not really up to job see post office et. Etc
I can’t see any awning or motorhome stickers or two windows on one side. ????
Awning rail (C channel) awning is in the back, 'Camper' stickers both sides (hidden behind open sliding door), two windows (one each side). DVLA actually states that you don't even need ALL of the requirements. The reason they gave me was that it does not 'look' like a campervan in traffic, which is their stock excuse they give everyone (even those with more than two windows!). Plenty of people have approached me to ask 'can I have a look inside your camper?' so Joe public is obviously much more intelligent than the numpties at DVLA!
Okay, no problem mate. Just trying to help
Nice conversation, can you share the link (or name) of the draw catches please? Not seen those and I need something. 👍
Search for 'W4 Plastic Turnbuckle Door Catch Brown Caravan Motorhome 37810'. I got mine from ebay but they are also available from amazon and caravan dealers.
@@InTheShedUK thank you, much appreciated. I have done a similar thing with my chest fridge, slides under the bed, I put it on a sled with small wheels, created a wooded runner so it trapped the wheels, so they could only run in and out in a straight line and not twist, I added a stop at the back, again so it stopped at the correct place when closed, I used chrome thumb turn door catches like you see on a cubicle door, I wanted something heavy duty. My issue is the cable, how have you wired it so when you pull it out and back in again that the cable doesn’t get caught. I was thinking about using a trellis type arrangement tacking the wire to it so it expended and collapsed as the fridge came in and out. Like XXXXX it’s hard to explain what’s in my head. So again how did you do it? Thanks
@@markymarks3805 Yes I can see where you are going with the trellis idea. I kept mine really simple, just used a cable tie and stick on cable tie clip. Have a look at my video 'Campervan Garage, Bed, Step and Table - Fiat Ducato Campervan Conversion Part 21' in the playlist to see how it works. Very simple but hasn't snagged yet.
@@InTheShedUK watched it, many thanks, I was overthinking it, I will copy your method, simple as. Thanks again.
It's because the police can't identify self builds. It wastes their time pulling what they think is a commercial. You could make a request asking what the cost was of your original request!!
small sound difference than the a65.....did you ride with the choke on ? nice bike......
No, the choke (air slide) was off, lever is fully round.
It's about time the DVLA are challenged on this as you say if the public can clearly see its a campervan that means that the police are so incomplete that they can't tell its a campervan then maybe they shouldn't be in the job.
Should have used counter sunk bolts
Counter sunk bolts for where?
They did the same to me. I followed there information to the book with regards to changing the van to a motor caravan and they came back saying that I needed to make more changes to comply, but did not state what I had to do. My campervan looks more like a campervan than some of the new ones on the market. A fire fighter commented on my video about this and said that he would want to know it was a motor caravan in an accident as it would be fairly clear that I would be carrying LPG. As a van with side windows he would not think about it. The DVLA are playing a dangerous game. My van is insured as a modified vehicle through AIB insurance as a campervan but as a van with side windows. I would not hold my breath on you getting anywhere with the DVLA decision.
Yes, I had the same thoughts about the LPG. You could raise a case with the Ombudsman see www.ombudsman.org.uk/news-and-blog/news/dvlas-poor-communication-causes-confusion-campervan-owners If more people did this it would highlight the fact that DVLA are still going against the PHSO recommendations and drop them right in it!
@@InTheShedUK Hi, I may look into that.
Great work Ian. That's a very good looking engine.
Thanks, not bad considering it was just a box of bits!
No mention of spacing the piston rings or oiling the rings prior to fitting the barrel.Did I miss something?.
Ring gaps spacing mentioned at 27:00 but blink and you'll miss it! Didn't mention oiling the rings but did oil the cylinder 27:49 although some prefer do it completely dry, lowbrowcustoms for one.
The later pushrod tubes / tappet blocks with wedding rings are a much better bet.The mods to early heads are to machine deeper seal holes & bevel them to avoid tearing the seals.
Cvnts.. they r cvnts
nobs with power cretins.
Useless in imported a rv the hardest bit was getting it registered because they did not there own rules
I thought you were ment to have two side windows on either side of the van not including the drivers or passengers door windows to meet dvla's criteria ??
They also say you don't need to meet ALL the requirements. The reason they gave me for rejection was that it 'doesn't look like a motor caravan in traffic'... No mention of windows or anything else.
I bought a retired WAV from Motability which was exempt from road tax. When I registered it in my name I found out that on first registration it had been registered as an M1 instead of an N1. This meant that my "Sprinter Panel Van" as it stated in the reg doc was classed as a diesel car and not a van. This attracted road tax of over £700 per annum. I called the DVLA to have it changed, they asked for my Certificate of Conformity, which I didn't have so they refused. I had other EU Certificates of Compliances stating my van's VIN number and it's N1 classification but they wouldn't accept them. I fought them for a year with the help of Mercedes-Benz without any luck until I managed to get a duplicate of my Certificate of Conformity which they accepted so I then demanded a refund of the difference which they did pay me. What a shower of officious b'stards they are. They are not fit for purpose. Keep at them!
DVLA's standard reply is a van with windows. The easiest option would be to accept DVLA's ruling, & insure the vehicle as modified. This must be accepted as insurance. I used Greenlight as they specialise in modified vehicle insurance.
Makes one wonder why Triumph did not adopt VW beetle style push rod tubes?
I think there's a guy making adjustable pushrod tubes for Triumphs. I saw a set of them on a TH-cam channel called Dirty Shirt Richter. (He's machinist who does a lot of work for Baxter Cycle's in Iowa.) I'm not sure if they're for sale yet, seems like he's still in the "testing" phase to make sure they work well. I put a T140 head together recently to replace top end gaskets and PRT seals. It was my first time doing any top end assembly and I was worried about getting those seals correct. I was quite happy that she didn't leak when all was said and done.
Good to see someone doing a video of the intricacies of setting up a triumph cylinder head, far from straight forward, don't know why nobody sells different thickness pushrod tube seals over here, then there's the torqueing down sequence. Good luck and well done.
Yes I thought that was odd about the tube seal availability
hi Ian one step closer and looking good, just thought which engine would you prefer to work work on. kind regards Adrian.
I think I prefer working on BSA's, much simpler design! Although I prefer crank bearings to BSA bushes. Swings and roundabouts!
Have you questioned thier authority over you? Are they using secondary legislation thats not compatible with your civil Rights, Primary Legislation.
Unfortunately after the explosion in self builds during covid, the big motorhome/campervan manufacturers have probably bought off the DVLA so the market doesn't get flooded and lower the price. I managed to get mine classified as a motor caravan back in 2019 but quite honestly its made next to no difference. The road tax is the same, the insurance is pretty much the same and I save about a tenner on the MOT. Speed limits are not a concern, Im always getting overtaken by vans doing 70. There really is very little benefit.
It's more about the principle, they set the rules, we follow the rules but they then choose to ignore the rules they set in the first place! The rules changed around 2019 so you probably struck lucky. Speed limits only become a concern when the NIP drops through your letterbox. The old Gatso's are being decommissioned (a survey in 2017 revealed only about half were actually working!) and are being replaced by more discreet digital cameras.
Started a while before Covid. It started initially as people were changing their vans to beat LEZ restrictions. Putting in basic furniture, enough to change the body type.. then simply removing the furniture allowing to use their vans for deliveries or other things.
My mate has a van under 3.5 tonnes that he uses for camping. It doesn’t have side windows. He has just been prosecuted by Devon & Cornwall police (driver awareness course) for doing 71mph on a 70mph dual carriageway with central reservation. The basis of the offence is that it is a van NOT a motorhome or camper van. I am not sure if a van with windows would be considered differently, as when he dialled into the course (zoom meeting) all the others present were the same as him, ‘normal’ van used for camping exceeding 60mph on a dual carriageway. So if you don’t think they will prosecute you, I advise caution, as it doesn’t apply in Devon or Cornwall apparently
@@Mr_Springy it does happen.
@@Mr_Springy You can appeal the NIP in cases such as these, just need to provide evidence that the vehicle is being 'used' as a 'motor caravan' ie living/cooking/sleeping facilities. If the DVLA changed our V5C's as requested to 'motor caravan' in the first place it would save everyone (including the authorities) a lot of time and effort!
It’s all about the money mummy, money money
The same nonsense, I had exactly the same question, no clear answer to rejection, it’s pathetic , we did all we were asked to do and still didn’t get any joy
Yep, I just can't understand why there are so many people that get rejected and DVLA's reasoning behind it all.
Hi. Quick question... are there any online sources of info on how to go about insuring a van-with-windows / self-built van/camper-van conversion which has not been given it transfer of body-type from the gov, please? Any info appreciated on companies which offer insurance, and pitfalls etc... greatly greatly appreciated, I can tell you as I seem to be just chasing my tail on it to be honest... i am almost at the stage of just giving up on the conversion.
Probably best to ring round individual insurance companies or brokers and tell them what you need. I got my insurance with Adrian Flux, I rang them and explained that I was converting a van into a camper and got insurance which they said would cover me during my conversion and once I had completed it just to ring them and let them know. They gave me no time limit on how long I had to finish my conversion!
@@InTheShedUK Thank you si much for your reply. The info is very interesting, as it confirms info that another person just mentioned in conversation. Lovely thanks.
Dry your eyes and enjoy what you have.🙃
The Corporation is so Corrupt they own the Van not you ... look at the Logbook , your the user and will pay for all uses fines restrictions repairs ,hence why you don't own the Title of Origin.
Quite enjoying this 😊 As we get older don’t we all see that the overall bureaucracy we face on any single day seems to get bigger and bigger. The amount of people employed in the iimplementation of seemingly farcical technicalities is staggering. As you highlighted your new government may give you an opportunity to get your new MP of their bottom and propel them into assisting you into at least being able to go away on a nice holiday in your caravan. Keep up the good fight and take care 👍👍
Think I have always questioned authority, my mantra is to question everything, accept nothing!
They told me the same and said I could not reapply. So my camper van is now classed as a van with windows, my van is fully fitted out with lift up roof with cooker fridge and toilet and double bed. But it is still classed as a van with windows.
You can take it further by raising an issue with The Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman (PHSO) but you do have to write to your MP first. People have done this and got a small amount of compensation. The more people do this the better as it will highlight the problem. There are some links in my other video th-cam.com/video/9oyQhKLCWe8/w-d-xo.html
Is it a high top with awning bar? If not that’s where they’ve refused.
@@SingletrackScene Unfortunately pop-tops will be refused, except for, I believe 'factory built' VW Ocean with pop-top are classified as 'motor-caravan'... Double standards!
@@InTheShedUK that's correct. Pop tops are only acceptable on builds that are first registered as motor caravans and not re-registered.
