    Westfalia Roof Toggle

    Has anyone got a photo of the internal bracket or toggle? I'd like to see what I'm missing before making any changes.

    Westfalia Roof Toggle

    A new roof was fitted during the previous owner's restoration. I have two in the inside, but none in the centre as I have a double roof skin a few inches apart. Maybe the third was placed outside as it was the only place it could go?

    Removing mould from canvas

    I've been looking into this recently. On canvas you should only use water according to various tent/ camping forums. I was looking for a non-bleach spray and noticed that Milton Anti Bacterial Surface Spray looked ideal for fungus/ mould...

    Westfalia Roof Toggle

    I want to replace the exterior roof toggle at the front of my bus. Not sure why it was put there but maybe for increased safety? What do people have instead? Is there another clip available?

    '69 Savannah Deluxe continued.....

    Great, how long would it take to set up? It's either that or a pop up gazebo. Nice van by the way.

    I was searching for throttle kits, but who makes the canopy attached to the van? http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=66269&hilit=throttle+kit&start=20" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

    Engine trouble revving

    Haha found it on page 18 after all your Euro adventures and breakdowns! Come to think of it, the jumpy first gear acceleration, the squeaky pedal and the sticking pedal could do with an entire upgrade. Welcome to the 21st Century dear old van.

    Engine trouble revving

    It was this image which made me think that the original stock cab area would look too different. If the pedal was sticking, could a new return spring help or did you need the whole kit?

    Engine trouble revving

    I was trying to upload a pic, but none of my data cables are working. I think you might be onto something with the accelerator pedal end, I've noticed it sticking slightly on slower journeys, 65 mph exaggerates the issue! I was going to fit the Butty's kit, but the non-stock look put me off...

    Engine trouble revving

    Twin Weber ICH's with Scat centre linkage. There seems to be movement ok, what would free them up if they were sticking?

    Engine trouble revving

    My rebuilt 1776 with 1200 miles on the clock just about made the journey home. Did about 2 hours on the motorway today at 55 - 60 mph, came off the motorway and stopped at the lights. The engine continued to roar as if it was still running at speed. Stopped the engine immediately and it wouldn't...

    Power Bar

    Good old Chinese engineering filling our landfill sites with yet another dangerous product.

    Seats styles.

    I have been having serious issues trying to get a standard TMI cover to fit my 1970 LHD driver's seat. Thought it might be easier to change seat instead. How many different seat styles are there for early models?

    Replacement laminate

    I recently repaired my buddy seat with the laminate from an old westy wardrobe to get the best match. The NLA laminate had a much more yellow tint compared to the original and looked a bit out of place.

    WARNING is this to good to be true

    In the old days of ebay you could have warned all those bidders in advance.

    WARNING is this to good to be true

    Looks dodgy to me, only feedback is one item bought from a Chinese tat seller last month. Here it is on the opposite side of Scotland. https://www.dubmonkeys.com/ad/ebay-331574192838/volkswagen-type-2-early-bay-crossover-camper-van" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

    OG sun visors

    No worries, but over £10 cheaper than repros!

    WANTED 14 inch Wide 5 steel wheel for spare.

    Need a spare wheel for my stock 1970 van. Must be in perfect condition, painted cloud white a bonus.

    OG sun visors

    Those visors that simo linked to are mine and still available. Some oven cleaner would probably bring them up like new.
