Hi, Does anyone have pics of interior lighting running off a leisure battery that doesn't look too modern or involve too much cutting? Cheers :)

Peter Good has them - I got some from him about six months ago. He's a gent to deal with too. http://www.volksgoods.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'll take two bare metal if the postage to Ireland isn't too bad

Cheers Rob - that makes perfect sense

Thanks to you both for all the information. Did you use plastic plugs to mount the badge and if so, can you remember the approximate diameter of the plugs (reason I ask is that my front panel had threaded inserts for bolts which were roughly 7mm in diameter)

Cheers - that's good news. My PO never bothered with the middle two drillings which might account for the state of my front panel :lol:

Hi, I'm a bit stuck so any help would be very much appreciated. My '71 Westy used to have a spare wheel mounted on the front panel using the standard wheel mount and so has four holes drilled in it. Its in for paint at the moment and its almost ready for primer :D I've decided to put the...

Thanks - that makes sense as I did tell him that I'd got an aerosol mixed locally by a guy who's normally accurate but couldn't get this particular colour (chianti red) right at all - he kept on making something close but with a purple tinge. Its good to know that its a proper choice and not an...

Thanks. I'm know nothing about paint myself but the guy said that with this particular paint type the base coat is matt and the clear coat gives it the shine and depth. I'm worried that its not the right type for the kind of life a Westy might lead...

Hi, I'm talking to a panel beater about getting my Westy resprayed. Its got reasonably solid mostly original paint which is sun burnt down to primer on the roof and a few other areas. The plan is to sand the existing paint and use it as a base, apart from the front panel which was badly...

Thanks - that makes sense about the coir. I reckon my chances of getting OG covers for an early bay in the right colour for less than the price of a house are fairly slim :lol: How does the foam compare with the coir for support and comfort on long journeys? Does the lack of breathability...

Hi, This is my first post (well, technically my second) here, so be gentle :) I have a '71 Westy with badly worn seat covers. I got a sample of TMI material which matches the colour and copies the basketweave reasonably ok but it doesn't have the little pinholes that the original has. I...

Hi, I think that you're better off balancing it on one decent trolley jack with a wide saddle. That way (with care) you can rock it right and left, forwards and backwards - gives to a lot more flexibility when lining it all up.
