    Replacement front panel

    Ozzie has raised a good point here, if your windscreen surround and grill aperture or ok it's a lot less work to just fill in top indicator holes and cut in new ones in the right place - Schofields now stock the low light indicator brackets on there own, or you can by the lower part of the panel...

    Anyone else got a Paris Sunroof ?

    Thanks for the replies guys, thought I might have been missing something expensive ! Sparky what did you use hold the bottom of the ply - seem to remember someone on here suggesting tile edging trim ?

    Anyone else got a Paris Sunroof ?

    My van has a Paris sliding sunroof which has aliminium rails that the crossbars slide up and down in. Should there be any other reinforcement or frame to strengthen the sides of the original metal ? Looks like the original middle roof support was cut out with an angle grinder Also unsure how to...

    Delivering

    Feel your pain dude, every time I get my bus out of my tiny garage to work on it starts raining and/ or blows a gale. Lucky enough to work part time from June but have got less done than last year due to sh1te weather. Still could be worse at least no floods round here - roll on spring and...

    Best quality rear light lenses ?

    Loving the jail bars Wiggy ! Bryan I think most of the "originals" I have seen have been in a worse state than the ones I've already got, unless you know of anyone who has NOS ? Merry Christmas and I hope Santa brings you many Bay related gifts :)

    Best quality rear light lenses ?

    I know it's been asked b4 but not for a while. Anyone got the C&C "Hella" lenses on their bus ? I've got dubious quality red and amber with separate chrome trim at the moment but they are looking tired and the chrome is fubar'd. Looks like Coolair and Heritage do them as well but they don't...

    What am I missing. Non-Starter after shipping

    If you haven't got a spare carb just dope it ( remove the air filter and pour about half an egg cup of petrol down the carb throat and then the crank the engine over - if it then tries to fire you'll know its fuel related ). To test for spark I keep one of these in my "breakdown " kit...

    Indicator switch problem

    My repo came from C&C. When I fitted it the horn sounded when indicating left or right and it only clicked properly into position on left turn. Explained situation to C&C and also got full refund, they confirmed problems with recent batches and they were going to take them off sale. Got one from...

    Indicator switch problem
