    Door cards stopping them rotting

    Where are you going to drill the other drain holes? If you drill them towards the rear of the door the water will sit on the top of the wheel arch and rot the door and wheel arch, that's why there's a bigger gap at the bottom of the cab door.

    Rock and Roll beds

    There's a reason why Rusty Lee beds have a waiting list, they're just better quality.

    Steering wheel gap

    Move the outer column up, but be careful not to dislodge the isolator (item 12) or your horn will be on constantly.

    1967 Neptune Blue Deluxe

    Just a couple of jobs out of the way. Westy bed frame in, carpet glued and engine hatch finished. Dash pod all connected. Front discs finally sorted. Just waiting for the correct disc/hub mounting hardware to arrive. And making sure the wheels actually fit before detailing. List...

    Accelerator spring

    The return spring is mounted on the carb in the engine bay. The best upgrade you can get for your bus is a Butty's Bits linkage set. Worth every penny. https://www.buttysbits.com/product/bb-062-1969-1972-rhd-throttle-kit/
