What can I say other than it was an absolute pleasure to meet Colin and have him look over our bus. We laughed, we cried, and I think we fixed some stuff. My bus has NEVER sounded this good, and wow look at that it idles. I'm kidding on the "think we fixed some stuff", we fixed a lot of stuff!
Sure I wish I was able to source the correct dual vac dist, but it didn't go down that way. We even made an attempt to install a dual vac can from a Thing dist and install that on the aircooled.net SVDA. Shit I even found brand new vac lines in my stash, we were on our way. We were bitten by our inability to advance the dist since the nipple was hitting the bale for the oil breather. So, with our tail between our legs we reinstalled the 009, took it for a road test and tweaked a few more things.
I'm happy with the outcome, and honored he could make it. If you are reading this I wish you safe travels and look forward to meeting again sometime.
