    1970 San Francisco westfalia resto

    That sort of comment really excites me and I wonder what could be done with mine :D

    Vehicle diagnostic tool

    I picked a no name thing up from Amazon for about £15 that plugs in and seems to be near enough as accurate as the ridiculously expensive ones at a mates garage.

    Sounds great advice! Will remember that one thank you.

    Door &window seals

    I have the Viewb ones. I got them around 8-9 years ago and they are still spot on. If I recall correctly, the cheaper ones are not as thick, very supple and don't last long. Whether that is right or not, after spending ££££s on everything else, I didn't want any leaks through the doors or windows.

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    I think I need to double check my bellcrank setup as I am not sure it is how it should be. It works obviously. In the 8 or so years since I last looked the engine I am a lot more thoughtful and methodical with things. I did forget to say that I haven't adjusted the rods in the kit at all which...

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    Do, it is one of them should haves in my opinion. The kit only needs 6 holes drilled, no welding required so it is really easy to DIY. If you do have anything done, or not, very much recommended. Instructions on his site are great as well. Also got a couple of stickers and a keyring!

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    Where did you go for the pedal spring Matty? Just the usual places? I am almost certain I would have put a new one on years ago. Mine Revs higher than it should do as the pedal isn't returning all the way up. I didn't get a chance to see if it was fouling on my mat or not. I thought originally I...

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    It is brilliant in short. I got the whole kit, the pedal down to the bar through the chassis and the bar through the chassis to the cable. I had replaced the pedal down to the bar through the chassis 8/9 years ago when I restored the bus. I don't know where I got it from but it wasn't Butty's...

    No I didn't! Doh! Next time, I am going to get a list together of need/want stuff. Thank you for the headsup!

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    Thanks Sparky, I did indeed do that. The guy at Coolair said he would have recommended the universal one over the RHD specific one in any case. All replaced now thankfully!

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    I didn't realise, but Cool Air VW are in Ashford which is about 25 minutes from me so I will pop there at lunchtime. EDIT: They don't have the RHD obviously....they also don't have the cable extender either. I will get a universal one and cut to size.

    Accelerator Cable Broke (threaded section)

    Hello all, Yesterday I fitted Butty's Bits throttle linkage, the whole thing including the rod through the chassis section. All fine, however when I tightened up the bolt on the bell crank linkage I must have done it up to right and the threaded section (which isn't used as it was too long)...

    Busfest.

    That is interesting, a trader near me has one and I was surprised how small it was. Smaller than a bay I am sure. More a splitscreen size. Do they do different wheel bases? And I like them too!

    Insurance

    I went with Classicline, it was about £120 with breakdown cover (UK and EU) with unlimited mileage and an extra £11 for home start. As Sparky said, NCB don't apply to historic/classic vehicles.

    Belly Pans - Are They Necessary?

    No idea on the answer to if it was shipped to Devon with it or not, but my Devon does have one.

    These are amazing for the beach! Love that idea though.

    How obsessed ?

    At the moment I would say I am a 5 or 6, when she is back to be all sorted I think I will get up to an 8 or 9. But on "smells and sounds" when driving I am an 11. I forgot how much extra noise and smell(s) there are with classic cars! I went somewhere this morning, about 20 miles round trip...

    Belly Pans - Are They Necessary?

    I remember wanting to put them back on mine when we did ours before. Scrolling through the last few days to remind myself of what things are I found these which I was going to do unless anyone says otherwise? https://www.alanhschofield.com/ourparts/cat_1499072-Belly-Pans.html
