Not yet, got sidelined with getting a new loom fitted and the engine and transmission back in so it's still on the to-do list, but at least we'll be approaching it a little more clued up this time ;)

Awesome, thanks Sparkywig this has been a great help (y)

Ahhhhh OK...., so does that rear window tab just sit in the position of the notch, or do you can push the tab through and slide the window forward with the tab sliding down the inside of the window seam to lock it in the position? I don't suppose you have an image of the cutouts on the vertical...

Thanks for the info Sparkywig. No there wasn't a opening window there before, I was wondering whether the window seam should be notched to allow the tabs to press forwards. I'll see if I can find an image, proportionally how deep would you guess they cut into the seam, 1/3?

...and what about the tabs on the square edge, do these go on the interior or exterior face of the window seam?

So just to clarify, those tabs go on the interior side of the window seam?

We came to fit some mid rear 3/4 windows yesterday and came unstuck on getting the opening quarter window in pleace. We just couldn't get ity to sit right, it's a repro from VW Heritage with new rubber to seal so I was expecting it to be a tight fit but we ran into problems with the metal tabs...

I guess so yes. As I say, the torsion bars are out of the vehichle and the original sharpy pen ( I know.., I know... :rolleyes: ) reference points have scrubbed off so I have no indication of their original rotation when inserted. I can't see any factory marks either so how did they know which...

I need to refit the rear torsion bars into our '68 T2 but unfortunataly the reference marks I made on the bars and chassis have scrubbed off during the work so there's no reference to their original position. Obviously there are a million video's of folk demonstrating how they can be rotated to...

Hi David, I'll PM you ;)

I'm looking for a chassis rail repair panel where the rear C-section becomes a box section in front of the torsion bar tube, they seem to be available for late bays but not for anything pre 70. Looking for an equivalent to this...

Cool thanks. I was assuming there were only two variations, the early's with the extra set of out riggers behind the rear jacking points and the later type were these were omitted, but sounds like there were perhaps a couple more variations...?

Thanks Ozziedog, that's a lot further back than mine ever went, looks like they've been cut short ever since we had the van! I found this online subsiquently which seems to be a pretty good reference for the underside, if anyone spots anything incorrect for a '68 let me know as this is what...

I'm replacing the rear outrigger on my '68 as well as the handbrake cable tube as they've both seen better days. Does the tube finish flush with the rear of the outrigger, or does it project through the hole a bit further? If so, by how much?

If someone has a '68 bay to hand could you measure the diameter of the steel tube exiting the base of the bottle please. I've just bought one and it doesn't fit so need to know whether the part is incorrect or the hard line on the van has been swapped out for something non standard over the...

Cool, thanks :)

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but a search hasn't brought any definitive results and I'm sure it's an easy answer for those running a similar setup... Do the standard pressures as per the original steels on the front/rear tyres still apply, or is there a deveation from this...

Aha, yes it is, i didn't look at those guys! Thankyou :)

It doesn't look like these are made any more (unless someone can point me in the direction of a repro) and mine has a crack in it. Would anybody have one they are willing to part with?

It’s probably in the Bay-muda triangle… 😜
