Hi all. Does anyone sell the wooden batons for the curtain rails to fit to in a Dormobile roof? Or does anyone have the dimensions to get some new ones cut? (I'm guessing that might be the easier option). One final thing, are they just glued on to the roof? Thanks.

Thanks for the comments, it's appreciated.

Thanks for the comment Delilahtoo. I guess it is a subjective issue and I have to agree with you that I now have to suck up the cost and just enjoy the restored van. The finish looks fine so I can't grumble with the work done. It has been an expensive journey and I will certainly use this as...

Pastel White is creamier. The standard Dormobile roof cap is closer in colour to cloud white (early bay bumper and roof white). Certainly appears to be a cheaper option to stick with stock but I can't go back now. Just need to suss out if the invoiced price that I received is fair.

Evening all. I would appreciate other member's thoughts on whether £595 for labour and materials is a fair price to pay to paint over the gel coat finish on a brand new Dormobile roof? This would include low bake primer and a Pastel White top coat. Thanks for your help.

Ron is still based at Marsh Farm, Hilperton nr. Trowbridge. Definitely an honest all round nice guy. He's currently restoring our early bay and has been flexible, accommodating and helpful throughout the resto. :D

Just been searching for early bay stuff on eBay and came across this listing for Dormobile furniture. I know there have been a few folk after some Dormy furniture bits of late and the current bid is 99p! Hope this helps someone :D PS: It's not my listing so please don't PM me about it...

Hi all. I have four Continental Vanco 2 tyres for sale. They were fitted as new to my bus pre-restoration to get it down to the restorers but I have since decided to stick with stock 14" wheels. They have only travelled 60 miles in total and still have the rubber mould tags on them due to the...

All sorted now. Many thanks for your replies.

Hi everyone. I'm after a non-molested painted dash for my early 69 bus. Ideally a right hand drive version without the cut out for the steering column. Thanks. Alasdair

Thanks for the quick responses. I guess over time, they just got mixed and matched anyway. If there is no right or wrong approach with this then I'll run with what I've got. Next, the painful task of cleaning and resealing them! :D

Hi, I'm after some advice. Should Westy louvre windows be fitted as a pair with one window having a right hand winder and one left or does it really matter? Did it depend on whether they were for the European or foreign market? How were they supplied on original buses? Both of mine have L/H...

It was our first trip to Stanford Hall and I must say it was a fantastic show, very different to others that we have been to and a great location to boot. Loved seeing all of your buses in the EB show area, nothing beats an early bus! The vehicle displays were really impressive and there were...

Many thanks. Will try and sort out the pics.

I have the following items for sale and I'm happy to bring them along to Stanford Hall tomorrow if anyone is interested. 2 pairs of wheel adaptors 205 to 130 Porsche wheel fitment. Only used for six months from new - £40 per pair. 4 Continental Vanco 2 tyres 195/70/r15. Only travelled about 80...

Count me in too please! :D

Does anyone have an early bay front grille in good usable condition? I will be re-painting it so finish is not an issue, only the condition. Thanks. Alasdair

I got mine from Southwest Splitz but they only had a couple of early RHD doors left. Fairly rust free but the better one that remained did need a lower corner repair/strengthening. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestions/recommendations Scott. I will make contact with them and see if they have any. Alasdair
