Hey guys I have taken my steering box apart and it is evident I need to replace the bearing in the pitman arm, as well as the seals. Does anybody know where I can get this bearing? I have read through the topics on the forum but unfortunately this is still somewhat of a grey area. Also, can...

Oh cheers I'll give them a try!

Hey guys I am replacing my steering box and have noticed there is no pedal cover plate underneath the pedals, has anybody got one available for sale for a 1971 early bay? Cheers, Phil :)

A puller! I've got a puller. Not sure why I didn't think of that.

Hey guys I am trying to replace the top pulley because the outer half has rounded in the center. The thing is, no other pulleys I have tried will fit onto the inner half that is currently in place, so I need to replace the whole pulley. The problem I am having is that I cannot remove the inner...

Dude aside from being an astounding achievement (especially considering your experience at the time and other commitments) it is also a FANTASTIC resource for us here on the forum! I have had my bay for 1 year now and have just picked up a roof to do exactly what you have done, but I thought...

Can't upload a photo so here is a link the the online album, I'll fill it up! https://plus.google.com/photos/114746994541856658936/albums/5829239521884413825

On a similar note, I have two round hoops bolted through the rear of my roof, absolutely no idea what they are for! They seem pretty heavy duty...any ideas? Photo taken...

sparkywig you are a genius, have just picked up a new roof to replace mine, but my gutters are in a bad way all the way around so I will have to spend a while repairing these first. I'll post all photos on here of the job, but I now feel a lot happier about doing it myself! That cross-section...

...so a very late reply here, since this thread I have bought a new empi stock carb, 009 dizzy and pretty much replaced the ignition system completely. Had the bus set up on the rolling road and it ran mint, stock is definitely the way forward. Still having an issue with the fuel pump push rod...

My bus has a crappy head unit in it and only runs 2 6x9 speakers - one in each door. Despite the door panels coming loose and water EVERYWHERE, I still get plenty of volume while I'm driving along. Modern stereos nowadays all tend to have decent 4 channel amplifiers built in, meaning you can run...

Adjustable beams do sacrifice suspension travel, the best way to go for lowering if you want to retain soft suspension (in my opinion) is dropped spindles, though I am not sure if these can be found in many different drop sizes (I'm only a year in to the VW scene myself!) My bus has been...

Cheers guys this is great advice, I love this forum! Feel a bit more confident about doing it myself so long as the metal that's there is strong enough to repair. I'll get an outdoor video camera for xmas and film it all when it goes ahead!

Yeah the new roof comes with gutters and a inch or two below it. I can't find that thread with the roof swap, there are some others but not very detailed, have you got a link for it?

Right guys I have a 71 bay and a complete rust free roof with gutters that I need to put on, has anybody done this before, or know where I can find advice for the right way to go about it? My current roof had a poptop which was sold before I bought the bus, and the current gutters are...

Guys I have a hot start issue, however it's slightly different. Example. I stop at the petrol station, fill up with fuel, pay, get back in the bus and try to start. It's a real struggle to fire, but it does. However, the engine then will not rev at all for at least 2 minutes; foot hard down...

Oh nice, heritage's reply is that they are not available in chrome so I'd better get my hands dirty!

Nice info guys! I'll let you know what heritage say about the chrome set. I can't really take the locks off mine at the moment and send them away as my bus is my daily driver, but we'll see what happens...

OK VW Heritage do a full set in black: http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Door-handle-and-lock-set-T2-69-Black-Genuine-VW-211898375_act_shop.product_pID_23276080_lang_EN_country_GB.htm?crumbStartPage=5&crumbStartRow=59" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; still waiting to hear if...
