...Unlike "Steven" with a V, which means lazy parents :p

Hi Alex, I've looked at the photos (especially 6181 and 6182, with the wood/steel support) - o_O ; Think I'm with @ozziedog - Looks to be a major restoration for that bus. Yes, it might sound good if it's a 67 with original paint etc, but you've really got to ask yourself how big a project...

Not exactly local to St Albans for an engine service but if you drive over an hour you could check out... - Type 2 Detectives in Burwell, Cambridge - Northamptonshire; Off the top of my head I don't remember the company names, but there's a few that usually advertise in the Hayburner magazine...

Just to add to what @ozziedog is saying - I've never had this but if it is the Fuel pump/rod issue I think there's a few videos out there from years ago (Bug Me from the US?) which shows/ describes the issue being the black plastic pedestal(?) (expanding?) or the issue being the rod itself...

+1 Although I phoned them, I got the same good customer experience. I was buying some front suspension parts and they took the time to explain about some parts being on back order, and there was a wait time on some Transporterhaus parts. In the end I ordered what they had available, and as...

Yep, I've also got a JustKampers one, wouldn't say it's totally waterproof, but it does the job with the side opening that lines up with the sliding door; Also has the straps that run under the bus.

+1 Same here; Mine went during a long journey in the rain aswell - Luckily it was just the nut had worked loose.

Thanks @ozziedog I did look back over the previous posts and yours jumped out as being close to what I'm looking for. The main reason was that I was recommended BF Goodrich's if I could find 4 available for a good price; For R15's there weren't any, but for R14's there's some 215's and...

Hi. So my bus is now back to stock height - And I was going for largest tyres on R15 slot mags. Posted a thread a few months back, thanks for all the replies. However, had issues sourcing these & now I'm looking at using my stock original wide R14 steels. Like the look of the BF Goodrich's...

Welcome Andrew. Nice looking microbus; Was that photo taken down at Crimdon? I'm up in Durham - if you are local, give me a shout. Also If you looking to meet a few other earlybay bods, there was at one point a regular monthly meet up at the Angel - I haven't been for a few years. Think...

Hi, Original Loom taken out of my 1969 US bay microbus. The good/but mostly bad: - It's not reusable. - It's about 90% complete but as you can see in the pictures it's been chopped/cut in lots of places to remove it from the van. - No fuse box, switches or relays; not all, but some wiring...

Yeah, seems weird as the nearer your property you'd think it more secure. Also noticed that a few other insurance policies I've got have changed under writers this year. Maybe just coincidence or is the market changing?

I'm with PeterJames, been with them for years. Earlier this year wanted to park my van outside on the street rather than the garage (early start, not wanting to wake the neighbours) but my policy has got a Garaging clause which states... "between hours of 10pm and 6am if your vehicle is...
