WORLDS First PD130 Swapped talbot camper, she drives at last Part 19

In this episode 19 of the Seabot camper, I have had to go back to the original seat clutch master and manage to get it setup enough to go on a very short driver round the yard. I also manage to give myself more work by breaking the window winders.

Thank you mate, seems to drive real nice for the short time I’ve used it 👍🏽🍻

@@darrenlives It will be awesome out on the road. These engines are well suited to this application with their delivery of torque.

Back bleed the clutch cylinder using a pressure bleeder or a syringe 👍🏻

Thank you for this advice, it worked perfectly, every day is a learning. Cheers

Congrats. What's the total labour hours spent on the swap?

Hi thank you, I would go for 2 solid weeks if I was to have done it straight. If I was to do it again I could now do it much faster.
I do have a follow up vid to do as I’ve now done a few miles and ironed out a few issues.
The driving is so much better, so powerful and need I say, sooo fast and economical.

Hello mate, sorry no, one of the biggest issues was space, and I have lost my work shop for that now. It’s really not a terrible conversion, the only thing I would say is that I would use a van engine and gearbox! As I tow things with it the gearing in the box is not really low enough to use the torque it has, if driving normal it is lovely, pulls hard and it’s actually to fast for a van lol.
