Hello, could you pm me some details too please. Our bus has been in rehab since May last year, and we and would like a new dash as she looks a bit shabby now compared with the new paintwork. Where would I collect from? Best regards Steve H

type vw wheel adaptors into fleabay. it will come up on the search they arrived today.look really good. will fit at wekend and let you know how I get on.

I thought I had wide 5's on my gene berg 1971. Bought some empi's off a nice chap on fleabay, only to discover i had 5 x 112. The wheels were off an eb and they are 5 x 205. I have now had to order some wheel adaptors and hopefully the new wheels will now fit. Anyone got any advice on bolts as...

Having the front of my 1971 westy lowered, as she looks like a horse rearing up at the moment. After advice, I am going for beam adjusters, but does it really matter? i dont want her in the weeds, just looking less like I am trying to wheelie all the time, so i have been told adjuster will do...

allegedly she was getting free holidays off her sister who works at thomas cook or something. lovely eb.

I can vouch for the gear coupling. My gear change was like a wizards sleeve until we put an new one on. 5 minute job, and its good as new. GSF part number 71710 or 71710A for the uprated one. good luck. sorry, just saw the earlier post. ignore the advice re the coupling.

finally, after the weather has thawed, I managed to get under the bus at in the dry at work with a bloke who knows what he's looking at. Flaps from heat x's had no cables attached , and look liked they have been wired up for closed/open winter/summer. We hooked the wire over to hold the flaps...

I bought some heater fan thing off fleabay for a tenner. 150w heater that plugs into cigar lighter. works a treat for demisiting, and I found some fat screws and mounted it on the old speaker grille in the middle of the dash. genius. Only thing is it makes an annoying noise like a mosquito...

Shit isn't it. I have a en bloc garage, but its too tiddy for the gene genie to fit in, so her first year with us in the UK has been a wet one. It came over from Cali with a couple of little spots on it, but I bet its rusted more since may when we bought it than it had in 37 years in the good...

fight fight. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Sounds Like a nice little Jaunt from sunny Maidstone. Might see if Mrs Downsouth fancies a run out in the chilly gene genie. What day is it then Saturday or Sunday?

thanks. There is one either side. I am a complete retard when it comes to anything like this. Maybe I will get a bit of heat out of it after all. thanks for all the help. Now just got to work out what the heater controls do in the bus, as no coloured knobs on mine. right 2 seem to operate...

thanks for the advice. I will ask Matt at rusty kampers to have a shufty at the petrol filter position and maybe move it. and the heat exchangers........................I think the attached suggests they are no part of my bus. freezing winter journys ere we come !!!!!!!

thanks. will have a good look around to see where petrol is coming from. quite a strong smell and don't want to to go up in a puff of smoke. Will have a look round for j tubes/heat exchangers. sussed where the heat exchangers should be. I need to be looking underneath the little valance thingy...

I have attached a snap of our gene berg 1776 twin carb engine. It should be there now. Can anyone help with the following :- 1) Where are the heat exchangers? I think our engine may not have them, cali import. 2) The is a strong smell of petrol in the engine compartment and I have arrowed...

Couldn't agree more. The lottery is a tax on hope anyway. Or a stupidity tax, whichever way you look at it. We have had some awful things happen this year, but I am still happy, and I have got a lovely girl who i love very much, and got the gene genie 1971 bus this year which is coming along...

Just wanted to say my girlfriend and I were sniffing around maidstone where we live at potential new houses and we saw a beautiful early bay in blue and white and Looks the bollocks. I only posted this cause ours is 355J, so a few reg's after whos ever it is so i wanted to tell them they have a...

I am a spoonhead, I meant twin carb. doh!!!

They are thirsty buggers, but 15mpg is double shizer.My 1776 gene berg twin cam does about 25-30 mpg at 60mph cruising. Range about 300 miles on £60
