Mines repainted in a random colour (I've now realised after trying to match it for years with VW shades). So, I just took the fuel flap into a paint place and they mixed a pot from that ... best match Ive ever had.

Hey. Good to see you back. Take stuff steady and look after yourself. :)

Someone on FB suggested this tool set https://www.screwfix.com/p/bearing-separator-puller/19315?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR25WKfC5mnJwMKi20AMrpOP5xvWzJP6drvhHHfpTEs6Y8YXBu3Evo4vYC0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw

Ah, yes, that’s a pain.

Butty does a nice slim spacer .

Good luck! https://earlybay.com/threads/track-rods-ends-and-tracking.81910/ I have no suggestions, but would be inclined to seek out an old school garage with the mirror guage kit to set the toe in and be happy with that.

Plus you’ll likely be taxed on the shipping costs too . Make sure they’ll definitely sell direct to you, lots of places don’t ship to the UK privately now due to the aggro.

I’ve never been able to get mine off. Tried everything, and bent up one of those puller washers. It’s staying on until I have to cut it off I guess? It’s in decent nick so I just leave it for now.

He is still registered https://earlybay.com/members/velgreeno.32031/ but hasn't been here for several months.

Thats some fast deteriation on those panels in 3 years! Not much bringing them back but maybe try replacing the plastic membrane and testing in before you replace the door cards. You could/should coat the panels with a PVA mix before refitting.

It does, and I appreciate it. I was pretty concerned if I was wasting my time/doing the wrong thing but the feedback so far has been encouraging.

They really are. I changed the one side over (from stock 185/80 x 14) and the van was visibly leaning, its 1-2 inches higher than stock. I really have to make an effort to get in :D One slight front tyre/outer arch rub yesterday, but it was an uncommon manouvre so no worries.

Cheers Oz. That’s a cunning plan!

So, finally back on the road. Thought I’d put the sprints back on, so decided to follow it on with a sort of retro theme that may have been seen on a bus on the scene back in the old days on a bus on the west coast… So, bought some vinyl off eBay and cut some stripes to suit. Tyres are 195/80 x...

I just went to get my tracking done at a modern tyre fitting place. £17 offer for two wheel alignment. Sorry mate, we’ll need to take these track rod arms off and the steering wheel to do it. And it’ll be about £90. Can’t you just, like, adjust the adjustable track rod? Nah, sorry mate.

Gosh. That is some excellent customer service. Thanks to everyone involved @mike202 , @YellowBay69 and Jason @ AVW

Yes, you can https://www.justkampers.com/cab-door-hinge-conversion-kit-vw-t2-bay-1975-1979.html

The locks are different, but they will work, its the hinges that are different. You could get hinge conversion kits that would make them interchange ... I presume you still can?

If you contact Paypal, they should be able to reverse the payment for you. Consumer protection for buyers is pretty good. I'm afraid this element of the site management is managed by the owners who are in the US, not the bus enthusiasts that moderate it here. :(
