    New front seat belts. Top bracket too wide for B post.

    Hi, Just got some new reel seat belts from Heritage for the front seats. The top mounting bracket is too wide for the B post due to a lip that runs vertically on the edge of the post. The belts come with a collar to raise the bracket away from the post but this is nowhere near thick enough...

    Noise from electric fuel pump - type 4 engine

    Westy tap leaking

    Hi, I'm trying to sort out a leak with the tap in my Westy. It's a Campmobile one with a hand pump. Basically, the neck of the tap is very loose in the body and water flows out when you operate the pump. Is it possible to reseat the neck somehow to stop the leak? I'm not sure whether there...

    Noise from electric fuel pump - type 4 engine

    Hi, A question about my newly aquired '72 Westy. I've noticed that the electric fuel pump is making a buzzing noise when I turn the key (prior to starting). I can feel the pump vibrating when I touch it so I'm pretty sure that's the source of the noise. The engine starts and runs fine but the...

    New to EarlyBay ? Say Hi here ...

    Hello! Having been introduced to this forum by Nick (71Westy), I've just agreed to buy Bermuda_Blue's 72 Westy cross-over so I guess I'll be hanging around here for a good while. I have to say, buying through this forum and getting lots of 'oh, you can trust that guy' and 'that's a solid bus'...
