    Need some advise.
    what is the correct gap measurement between front fender & Door?
    I have to start fitting fenders back and tightening but the gap looks too big.
    Anyone willing to measure and confirm Gap please?

    Hi Guys.
    I want the MPG part of my cluster to work.
    I know that it uses vacuum to determine the mpg.
    Apparently there are also wires that has to be connected for the mpg to work properly.( im not sure, its what i have read up)

    Any ideas where the wires connect to?
    As i will be using a Carburetor Engine not EFI.

    Hey Hannes. Just measured mine with a Vernier: drivers side gap is just over 6mm near top and 7mm near bottom of door. Passenger side is just over 5mm all the way, so I guess the correct answer is Who Cares ? :lol:

    I see from your CitiGolf GP plates that you're a Vaalie! I'm an ex Eastern Cape boy myself. Live in UK now - much safer! (Hope you didn't get too bad a whiplash from that sandwich!)

    Good luck with your project and welcome to the Red Golf Club :thumbup:. Beware the haters haha.

    Alan

    hi guys. need some advise / Help
    I replaced the whole Wiring loom in Project from Donor Car.
    I have the following problems.
    Blower does not work
    Dash lights do not work
    Hazard & right Indicator works but left causes the Relay to Shatter.

    I have only connected the Fender Indicators for testing.
    No other lights(Globes) are connected.

    What can I look at as donor car Loom and harness was working.

    Do i need to reconnect all the Lights(Globes) before i continue testing?

    Your help is appreciated

I got car with 5 x 100 wheels & Discs, but the Front Stubs & Discs are Damaged. or what would be a perfect fit if i had to buy new Stubs & Discs? Don't want any offset on the wheels. Thank you guys
