Good luck; +1 for using heat. Also there's this example on thesamba which might help - although sometimes it's annoying to see someone else just easily remove it... https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=310527&highlight=steering+wheel

Anyone going? Not 100% about making it Friday, but definitely Saturday.

Just for reference mines a LHD 69 Microbus.

Thanks Mike - Really appreciate the offer; Think I'm now going to do what you did and replace the lot.

Thanks for clarifying - I should have said that mines a 69.

Thanks K@rlos; Looks like Schofields have both CSP front and rear on their website - I'll give them a call.

So just found that Cool Air have both Front and Rear refurb kits listed which include drums, but they both out of stock. I'll call them tomorrow.

Hi, Couple of Brake related queries: Rear... Last service had the rear bearings done & also wanted the shoes changing; Was informed that rear drums were starting to oval, so was advised no point in fitting the new shoes. Either get the drums skimmed (temporary solution) or buy some new ones...

Is your "gas burner/sink" the same dimensions as the Smev/Dometic single gas burner? I had just the single sink version, but think they are close to the same size. I was pushed for time & was told I needed a "fitted sink" for my bus to be let onto a festival campsite; So did this as a quick...

Hi, Basically what @67panel said; Water will get in - It's designed so that any water inside the door runs down and exits via the drain holes in the door bottom. Originally there will have been a plastic membrane (like you mention) between the door card and door - Options are either replace...

...Unlike "Steven" with a V, which means lazy parents :p

Hi Alex, I've looked at the photos (especially 6181 and 6182, with the wood/steel support) - o_O ; Think I'm with @ozziedog - Looks to be a major restoration for that bus. Yes, it might sound good if it's a 67 with original paint etc, but you've really got to ask yourself how big a project...

Not exactly local to St Albans for an engine service but if you drive over an hour you could check out... - Type 2 Detectives in Burwell, Cambridge - Northamptonshire; Off the top of my head I don't remember the company names, but there's a few that usually advertise in the Hayburner magazine...

Just to add to what @ozziedog is saying - I've never had this but if it is the Fuel pump/rod issue I think there's a few videos out there from years ago (Bug Me from the US?) which shows/ describes the issue being the black plastic pedestal(?) (expanding?) or the issue being the rod itself...

+1 Although I phoned them, I got the same good customer experience. I was buying some front suspension parts and they took the time to explain about some parts being on back order, and there was a wait time on some Transporterhaus parts. In the end I ordered what they had available, and as...

Yep, I've also got a JustKampers one, wouldn't say it's totally waterproof, but it does the job with the side opening that lines up with the sliding door; Also has the straps that run under the bus.

+1 Same here; Mine went during a long journey in the rain aswell - Luckily it was just the nut had worked loose.

Thanks @ozziedog I did look back over the previous posts and yours jumped out as being close to what I'm looking for. The main reason was that I was recommended BF Goodrich's if I could find 4 available for a good price; For R15's there weren't any, but for R14's there's some 215's and...

Hi. So my bus is now back to stock height - And I was going for largest tyres on R15 slot mags. Posted a thread a few months back, thanks for all the replies. However, had issues sourcing these & now I'm looking at using my stock original wide R14 steels. Like the look of the BF Goodrich's...

Welcome Andrew. Nice looking microbus; Was that photo taken down at Crimdon? I'm up in Durham - if you are local, give me a shout. Also If you looking to meet a few other earlybay bods, there was at one point a regular monthly meet up at the Angel - I haven't been for a few years. Think...
