Make sure the grub screw on the arms are actually seated in the groove of the bar ends... Mine weren't to begin with and I suddenly got huge play! I had to knock out the end caps on the arms to allow enough room for the bar to go into them properly for the grub screw to sit in the groove fully...

I also have one waiting to go in mine! Will keep an eye on this too! It does look too big to fit without some narrowing though...

Have drop vent next to my camping gaz bottles ;)

What a complete bummer... On the up side the rest of the bus is looking excellent 8) Sure you'll soon have that screen replaced. Keep up the good work!

I used that Armacell stuff too. Managed to get foil backed on on side and was available with self adhesive backing the other but cost a lot more so just used an impact adhesive to glue them all on. Struggled to find it last year when I wanted some for the Beetle, so thanks for that link above...

I had my 3-rib rebuilt with a taller 3rd, 4th and final drive...3500rpm ish at 70mph I had to fit a rev counter to know it's running at idle as I can't hear it. At speed it's the wind noise not the engine that you hear now!

just awesome work and skills!!

One thing though, everything that the powder touched has corroded...small price to pay, and the engine bay paintwork wasn't too pretty anyway...but I was wondering if the Aircooled...

Very nicely done. I'm contemplating a similar version but in a seat near the door. Thanks for sharing :)

number plate tape works well too...just strong double sided foam tape ;) But yes, tuck the bottoms into the door or water will find its way into the bus...I learnt the hard way!

I used a trailer spare wheel clamp... Bit of fettling with a grinder... Worked well and never came off ;) Cheers Al

Yes it had been running a little hot, but not to the extent I thought that would happen... Agree with what you say, but a little piece of mind goes a long way in case something unforeseen were to happen... ;)

Enjoyed it again...good to meet up with some friendly earlybayers again. Agree there was a severe shift to T5's this year, but will still go as we always have a good time and I even managed to pick up a couple of bits I needed. Would be nice if the food/drink/fairground was not so...
