Anyone seen or owned an Aircooled Accessories lowered Westy style rack?

Liking the NLA one. What’s the quality like? Would probably get sprayed to match colour of camper.

Got camping booked for August and fancy a decent roof rack to carry some gear. Previously had 3 bow at back and 2 bow up front but these are no longer available. Quite fancy a westfalia style one. Not sure whether to go full length rack or not? Any recommendations but must be quality 😁

The leaking 3 prong brake switch was from GSF and was a quality part manufactured by SKP. It must be quality because it said it on the box, although I guess not “German Quality” I think they missed an “I” out of SKP. I’m returning it tomorrow and going to try a 2 prong Meyle switch which looks...

The 2 prong one is Meyle but the 3 prong isn’t And I don’t think anyone decent makes them. Think I’ll buy another 2 prong meyle to replace the 3 prong and give that a whirl. Ball ache having to bleed brakes. Currently using more brake fluid than fuel !

Guys/girls, I have 2 brake light switches on my master cylinder, a 3 prong switch nearest servo and a 2 prong switch at the other end. Note I only have 2 connectors on the 3 prong switch which link to the 2 prong switch. The third central prong isn’t used. Anyway, took it for an MOT and they...

Got the mk4 golf estate calipers (TRW 184/185) mounted to matching carriers using existing red9 brackets and 282mm dia discs and the set up worked And looked great apart from the caliper fouling on the inner alloy wheel. Didn’t want to grind owt off the caliper plus I’d have to source custom...

Currently got Red 9 rear disc conversion and looking to bin off (separate handbrake pad piss poor not holding). Gone down route of fitting alternative calipers mounted to existing red 9 bracket but the caliper caught the inside of alloy wheel so binned that off too. Dilemma is go back stock or...

More than happy with my Bug-Tech. Also worth noting that while the engine and box were out I replaced all the other bushes/couplings too which will take a lot of the play up anyway if you wanted to remain stock.

Cheers Bundy, I’ll look to get the mk4 calipers and carriers and go from there 👍🏻

Can’t agree more, just not up to the job and I’m fed up of forever adjusting and carrying chocks around with me! Can you please tell me what model of golf calipers you used and what’s a line lock? Cheers

Cheers guys - Do the Golf calipers actually mount onto the existing Red9 brackets or would I need to buy/make new ones? Cheers

Converted the rear to the Red9 Design hi-spec disc conversion a couple of years back and to be honest the handbrake has been crap ever since no matter how many times I adjust it. Basically the handbrake has separate pads about the size of 10 pence pieces, just about enough to hold a mountain...

Sold

Got a couple of earlybay rear bumpers in ratty condition. Starting price £50 each on fleabay if anyone’s interested. Don’t know how to post link but they’re for collection in Chesterfield.
