I think its mainly the fuel lines, but I'd be interested to know if there's anything in the carb that can perish.

Thanks Oz, er what’s at Bristol? Edit: Oh yeah Volksfest. Cos of everything being cancelled and postponed recently I'd stopped paying attention to event happenings. I would have been able to make it too, but I've been 'volunteered' for something next weekend. Edit2: If you have time, could you...

PO used two massive joined together jubilee clips to secure the radio to the dash, but it's not very secure (there's nothing holding the back of the radio to stop it sagging), hence I'm looking for a bracket or bar, whatever was used for this task. I can't find any mention of it on the usual...

I'm looking for a speaker tray to go under the dash. This is what an original one looks like, fifth post down: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8655798 There is a repro available but it is expensive and you have to buy the speaker to go with it, which I don't want to do...

Johnny, I just made a donation and would like to be able to post a couple of wanted ads please. Thanks a lot.

@Haveacamper I'll take it. I'll PM you about collection.

I'd bite but I'm on the lookout for a RHD one.

How about this: https://youtu.be/hfsuFTHmfGg I found that when I was searching for info regarding the different headlights. If I didn't want to keep my bus looking original, I'd think about something similar.

While you have the light(s) off, have a look at some diagrams to help you make sense of them. There is a good page all about the different lamps here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=323108

If you have a US bus, you should have three tabs in the headlight buckets - that you can screw these to: http://www.autocrafteng.co.uk/shop/bay-window_109/lights-and-lenses_42/us-specfslashsealed-beam-headlamps_177/headlamp-retaining-ring-assembly-us-spec-type-1-2-and-3_1996/ I think they are...

Could be a fault in the wiring. If there is high resistance because of a bad or corroded contact or a frayed wire, the extra current drain could blow the fuse before the wiper motor gets over the start current. Other than that, the only other thing I can think of is a mechanical issue with the...

Well that shows a creative mind. Most 'normal' people would have filled the holes or bought a new bumper :)

.....and?

You might want to try on the late bay forum as well, if you're registered there, just to try to increase the chances of getting help. Best of luck.

Hydraulic lock with flooded engine? Is that possible?

Find the right diagram for your bus here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiringt2.php I recommend printing it in colour at A3 if you can, and keep it in your bus. If you need help reading that, just shout.

That's the exact dizzy and module I fitted to mine, been over a year now and no issues at all, starts every time.

Same as Mike. I tried a couple different ones, and they either don't fit, or lock the wrong way. So I'm still using the OG non locking one.

Nice, a '71 with a Westfalia roof. As it's Lego, the roof can be fixed 😎

Well, brakes DO fail, though rarely. What the value in having a light or buzzer is, is that you may find out with enough warning (i.e. right before you need them, instead of right when you need them) giving you enough time to bring the bus to a halt and avoiding a collision.
