Everytime I see seats for sale, they are always bloody miles away :evil:

I have beetle heat exchangers. I bent mine around, so they point upwards. If you want I can dig out the photos and upload them.

I'll take one of the door check straps. If they are sided, then I need a passenger (left) one. I'll be at Volkfest on the Saturday. Thanks, Rich,

Hi rallye dale, thanks for the reply. Read back on my post I think I've misled people. The thread on the nut welded to the chassis has stripped, not the bolt itself. I've going to have another look with fresh eyes on the weekend, using a chisel to remove the nut is looking preferable a the moment.

As the title says really. I went to change the rear dampers tonight, the bolts came out ok. When I came to refit the top bolt the thread wouldn't catch, upon further inspection I've found the threads have been damaged when I removed the bolt :evil: There's not chance of tapping them as I've...

I'll take the 2 doghouse tinware pieces, I'll be at Bristol Volksfest if that's ok?

Well I went for the MOT this morning and she passed! Had a couple of advisories on it, so I'm off parts shopping this morning. At least it's on the road now, so we can start to make it look good.

Hi Daz, I'd want to have a look at them and as he's local I'll leave lunster have them. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Rich.

I'll make sure I pop online tomorrow to let you know. Thanks again.

Tried to time my engine and sort out the carb, but had to call it off due to the rockers dumping oil on the exhaust and smoking me out :evil: So the leaks have been sorted today, ready to tune the carb tomorrow.

Have you got any pics of the seats? Also where are you based if I need to collect them? Thanks, Rich.

If you don't need it to be original, then these are good http://www.mcjproducts.com/collections/bay-bus-products" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I got my levers from FBI VW

That reminds me on a scene in 'Gone in 60 seconds' :lol:

I had exactly the same problem and came up with the same solution. I have to top the oil up now to see if they leak again.

Quick update, I ordered some lower tinware from machine7 yesterday. Superb service as usual, as they arrived today. [IMG]http://bbs.scoobynet.com/picture.php?albumid=6444&pictureid=20415[/IMG Going to fit these tomorrow, ready to tune the engine on the weekend. I've also bitten the bullet and...

Does a '72 have the lock in the handle?

Done a bit more today. Changed the steering drag link, don't think it has ever been removed but a bit of heat soon had things moving. Also pulled the front gearbox linkage off and replaced the front bush. When I removed the gearstick I found the base plate was damaged, so a new one of those is...

Well I've made some decent progress at last. This morning started by fitting the heat exchangers and backbox. Also set the rocker - valve clearance while it was on the stand. Next job was to get it on ground, fit the flywheel, clutch and attach the gearbox. Also filled it with oil while is...

A few pics from last night. Now I have the longblock built, I can crack on with the ancillaries.
