    Locks.... Is it possible to...

    Buy a matching set of either one or both door locks and a matching ignition lock? Or is it possible to buy both and have them both jiggled to work from the same key? The locks and keys on my bus are shocking, can take 10 or so attempts to lock/unlock a door or start it!

    The beginning of something beautiful- our '71 bay project

    I wasn't overly interested in using a gearbox upsidedown/with loads of modification so I went for the T2 tried and tested route :) Ofcourse, it's up to you which gearbox you'd like to use!! Like I said, I had the gearbox stripped down (standard 1.6 one) and had a 2.0 ring and pinion fitted...

    The beginning of something beautiful- our '71 bay project

    Bit of an update... Had an engine fitted :) It's a 1.9TDI 1Z engine from an Audi A4, 90bhp I think. Had the gearbox completely overhauled, it had all new ring and pinion, syncros, taller 3rd and a VERY tall 4th (really would recommend BEARS Motorsport in Birmingham - the guy was telling me you...

    Is a second hand dynamo/alternator worth anything?

    I know they are different things but I assume one of a 71' early bay is a dynamo? I've got one in the boot of my car that due to my bus not running a standard engine is no longer petrol powered ;) Is it worth anything or should I take it down the tip for the scrap metal man?

    How does the horn work (wiring wise)

    Ooo I see I think, so the wire poking out the middle of the wheel is a permanent earth? So as I have a new wiring loom, where does the horn to outer steering column connect?

    How does the horn work (wiring wise)

    Hi, I'm normally fairly good with automotive electrics but I'm stumped on the horn in my early bay. The horn has two wires going to it, looking at the wiring digram one comes from +12v and one goes to the wire that pokes out the middle of my steering wheel (that should have the horn push...

    Gearbox overhaulers...

    Hey, Wanting to get my 1.6 gearbox overhauled and fitted with a 2.0 ring and pinion and also a longer 3rd and 4th gear fitted - is there anyone you guys know of other than Bears Motorsport that can do this? Just wanted to see if there is an alternative supplier (I could even deal with fitting...
