I looked tonight, my narrowed beam doesn’t have the seal cups, just the seals , and it’s been fine.

Yeah, the whole scene has changed massively over that past few years, which is natural (and worthy of its own thread I guess) and is reflected in those attending. In general 'normal' people are just not buying aircooled VW's anymore to have some fun in so the crowds become more...

Same farm as before, just two doors down . Much bigger but shared with a third person.

New workshop has a mezzanine floor for parts storage. And is nice to look down on what’s going on.

The third party supplier sent out some incorrect parts, and then sent out duplicate parts along with the replacements parts. It took about two months to get the order right.

Just to clarify. Volksworld contacted me to ask if we wanted a spot but I have declined this year as the turnout the past few years has been depleted to the point that getting five vans each day has been not possible. Knowing that a few regulars wouldn't be able to make this year, and unsure...

Id give someone like Simon Ballard at NOSVW a shout. Best bet would be to knock a set off a rusty scrap beam.

I have a set of calipers that were from a CSP kit - brand new in a box unused.

Years back I had a tintop converted panel van that just had the cab area headliner fitted, the rest was bare metal (but I have a feeling it may have had a cardboard liner at some point?) Anyway, I took it to a trimmers who matched the perforated material and fitted a headliner from the cab area...

This was from my last trip :)

She’s totally overshadowed the whole thing. Amazing hype.

Great advert. :) Not so sure about the Superbowl stuff though tbh

Just revisiting this ... the play returned as the rest of the year went on, but I didn't use the van that much so lived with it. (Sorry etc) I looked at it properly again this weekend, the main larger bolt that I tightened before was still ok, but it was actually the 13mm nut/bolt that fixes...

Great pics looks a top event. I'm thinking nostalgically now about the UK events where there would be that many air cooled buses attending ..... :(

Test them by using hot water, don’t be tempted to use a blowtorch

Sorry, no club line up this year.

I saw the Stafford Showground on the news at the weekend. They'd held an indoor car event there which involved burnouts/stunts/some old nonsense on the ground floor while people spectated from the balcony. Apparently they were all a bit taken aback when the place filled up with carbon monoxide...

The general argument is that VW would never have fitted them from factory if they hadn't been required. The thermostat allows progressive cooling on start up so the engine warms up efficiently and doesn't get full bore cooling when its cold, so it prevents premature engine wear. The flaps...
