Just click on "Reply to Topic" which opens a new box and in the lower left it says "Insert an Image" click on that and another box will open.
with the option to "Browse" to your pictures, then "Upload File to Malcolmmer's Post" Once it's uploaded click on "Post new Reply" and it's
all done and dusted.,

It's dead easy once the pics are on you computer. They need to be quite small or they wont load so you may need to re-size them, 640x480 seems to be the best size. If you are taking new pics set you camera or phone to low resolution and that should be OK. Now open a topic reply and click on the 'Insert an Image File' link just below the dialogue box, this will open a window with an option to browse the files on your PC, choose the one you want and double click on the file - if all is well another box will appear asking if you want to upload the picture. When the upload is complete an information box will confirm and prompt you to close the box - job done
if you want to add more pics just tab down a couple of times below the line of code that shows your picture is there and repeat the process. It sounds long winded but it only takes a couple of minutes.

John explains it so much better than I do.

Hi All,
Thought I would let you have details of the van. It started life with Post Office Telecommunications in 1972 passing onto British Telecom before I bought it in 1979. I subsequently converted it, and ran it till 1991 when, due to lack of time and a house rebuild, it was taken off the road for a "short time". 22 years later we finally managed to get it back onto the road. Little body work was needed but mechanically we overhauled the engine complete with unleaded head( thanks Martin), replaced the clutch, all the braking system, new Weber carb., plus many minor parts(not Morris Minor). Martin kindly found out from the Post Office Vehicle Club that it is the oldest ex BT van that they know of. We thought we were going to respray with a different colour but decided that we ought to keep it original.
. New coat of paint on the roof
That's me and our dog on the left, our mechanic on the right.First day out of the garage.

Looking great Malcolm I like the heat shield under the carb.

Very nice indeed love the fine work done on the interior and the spotless engine bay.
Well done.

Stunning job Malc, looks great [^]

Thanks for all the positive feedback - we get plenty of attention on the road + people coming to chat in car parks etc., this is new to us, do you all get the same attention? I built the trailer to house the fridge, complete with solar fan in lid to provide ventilation, in order to leave the fridge in situ when on campsites, (electric only - not gas). The other half of the trailer houses spare camping equipment instead of cluttering up the van (the dog needs all the space she can get!!)
Oh yes, lots of smiles and waves as we drive by Brilliant idea for the trailer, you could get a huge fridge in there for all the beer I was thinking about the heat shield, my van has got a Rapier engine fitted so the shield I fitted actually slides between the manifolds and insulates between the two whereas yours sits on top of both. Maybe this is actually adding to your hot starting issues as the heat from the exhaust is being trapped below transferring even more heat to the inlet manifold which in turn finds it's way to the carb when the engine is switched off, just a thought.

I rather like the heat shield under the carb too.
I have a similar Weber on the Beddie CF and apparently Webers can be sensitive to fuel boiling in the float bowl, and in the accelerator pump chamber. That shield should deflect heat radiated from the intake manifold away from the bottom of the float bowl.
Will it also act as an insulator between manifold and carb?
Perhaps you'll need to separate the manifolds as well to deal with the conductive heat problem Panky mentions.
The Autosleeperer the better...

I agree it will deflect heat from the carb on the run, but when the engine is switched off hot then, potentially, it could insulate the manifolds and keep the heat in which in turn will conduct heat to the carb. Separating the manifolds is definitely the way to go - and fit an SU while you're about it

In answer to my own question it doesn't look in the picture like it can:I
The Beddie sports a 10mm insulator block between manifold and Weber and starts fine when hot without an added heat shield, mind you the head is of crossflow design so less heat on the carb side.
