You took the words right out of my mouth. Glad to see you still around, and still have your Notch.
Pics or it didn't happen.

| Nick you still got your notch? Last time I checked this thread was when i was in highschool. I remember you mentoring me here on the Samba a little about the Navy before I joined. Been in almost 6 years now, get out this year. Anyways used to love watching this thread hope you and the notch are still around. |

Interesting thread here. I am thinking about squirting my bus myself. I thought I would let you know that you are missing some important exhaust brackets. Without them the studs will eventually pull out of the head, ruining them. Ask me how I know. Germansupply.com sells one of the brackets. http://www.germansupply.com/home/customer/product.php?productid=16553&cat=&page=1 This one bolts to the bottom right nut and bolt on the driver's side flange and then to the nearest bolt for the fan shroud. The other one was at the bottom of the alternator bracket and bolted to the heat exchanger. If you drive your notch daily you should consider these or it could mean doom for your heads.

Those look like European Motorworks header pipes. . .
Looks good!

So I got a lil busy on the notch today, fixed the e-brake and the exhaust leak. I'm proud to report the fugly notch is back on driver status...giggity! :dance:
I hillbillied :hillbilly: the wrong lengthed ebrake cable and now it works awesome. While I was doing that the heater delete pipes that I ordered 2.5 weeks ago showed up. I had heard that fitment and QC were issues with these things so I had a junk head and 3lb hammer on standby to make them work. Trial fitted them on the junk head and they both fit like a glove, never needed the hammer. Gave them a light coat of POR20 so they won't rust till I get them coated. Install was drama-free. Now my header hangs a cunt hair lower and to the back, fixed all my issues with apron clearance...exactly how I wanted it. The flanges are nice and thick, and the welds look good.
can you spot the exhaust leak?
bigger piping and almost equal length ftw!
some "trimming" of the engine tin was required
|
Nick,
Who makes the new headers? Just picked up a fresh built EA motor with 1.8 heads and 96mm cylinders, as well as a GA coded 2.0l that is going to take some work. |

Yup, I hate them too. Glad you found them.
