Re: Mk7 Windscreen

Hi Steve, I didn't know you had a Mk7, thought you had a Mk6? I don't have all my Davrian 'stuff' available currently, we're in the middle of a major house refurb and living in the new garage workshop.

Re: Fuel tank access / fitting fuel system for injection

Chris, Welcome to Davrian ownership. I have a mk8 with mini engine so have no experience of fuel injection!

Springs will depend on use and/ or personal preference, but generally it is suggested that you shouldn't go too hard. If using Imp diameter springs then use equivalent of 'monte' springs or softer, probably ...
