Fancy a big engine in your beloved classic? Thinking of a Type 4 engine conversion? Type 4 engines are strong as hell with their all aluminum engine case and their larger engine displacements. Easy and reliable horse power… to finish all like it should You need a Porsche style cooling system what looks cool and fancy and give the necessary air to cool down, that heavy powerplant You have in mind. Imagine that this cooling system was developed to cool six cylinders in the Porsche 911. We sell the fan house for the Porsche for many years now, and we got a new delivery last week, so we have them back ready for delivery!

The mounting kit for the fan and the fan house for this conversion You can find under our ref 2166-500

The replacement oil filler/dipstick conversion for the Type 4 conversion You can find under our ref 2166-550

The Porsche style fan with generator you can find under our ref 2169

Type 1 Porsche fan conversion You can find under our ref 2160 – 2161-500 – 2161-550

We like to mention that for a Type 4 engine conversion You will need machine work to the case to make the Porsche style fan to fit. We choose for this “low” style of conversion to make sure the engine lid of your beetle still close like it should. We can eventually offer the service for the machine work on special request, ask our sales people for help or assistance when problems occurs.

One of Belgium’s most famous radio makers will retire end of this week… Jan Hautekiet was for many the guy that brought us Pop music broadcasting when he and a couple of others founded Studio Brussels, still today one of Belgium’s most favourite youngster national broadcasting channels…

His Wednesday afternoon presentations are branded in our memories forever!

But as we all get older, Jan Hautekiet will retire. Off course an icon as he is, he can’t leave like that so he decided to bike all over our country (the Flemish part at least) and broadcast live out of a VW bus.

As I was live once in his studio to discuss the end of the VW bus production his redaction team called me… as a goodbye gift for all the countless hours he gave me radio joy I granted one of our VW buses for the week to follow him on his bike tour and to held his interviews…

Jan you’ve been a hell of a radio guy! Without You radio would be different in Belgium! Thanks for all You did! Many people of our generation are a big fan of you! Tell them BBT Bob told you!

Enjoy our 1964 bus for the last couple of days on your career, proud I could be part of it!

All the best!

Offcourse Belgian national radio “Radio1” don’t stop and Karolien will take over from Jan… how cute they look together before our 1964 VW samba bus

Who wants can follow Jan Hautekiet on his last journeys as a radiomaker on Facebook, instagram or Twitter, just search for “Hautekiet trapt het af”…
