Hi all Looking for a list of "sensible" and "recommended" modifications that I should consider on my 68 bay. Currently being restored, looking for recommendations and contacts for the following: 1) suspension 2) steering 3) engine (would consider replacement for sensible cruising, not speed!)...

Sweet. They are the people I need to have a chat with. Thanks everyone :)

I would prefer the easier option of fabric. Thanks T.

For sale 1967 Honda monkey for sale, its had £900 spent on full engine rebuild and blast. I have started the proceedings to get it road registered and have received the entry from the Portsmouth history centre. Not much more to do to get it registered now, lights are not working but it does...

Just a reminder. 68 Bay Wide 5 rear brake backing plates WANTED. Please... :)

Well pardon me. A few hours to make the template!! Sorry I am not an engineer otherwise I would use a few hours and make a template. Then sell them!! :P

Whoever plans to make backing plates for splits and bays, could be a rich man! Not a difficult task, just need the correct equipment!

Rear brake backing plates for my 68 bay wanted. Someone should start reproducing these and for splits to. Very hard to get. Or at least I am finding it so. :D

Yum yum!! I like the look of that baby...Sweeeet! :P :P tell me more! Would it be a massive expense to have it rebuilt prior to fitting? Just that I don't know the history of it. What would the cost implications be having it fitted (Roughly?)....

Thanks, don't mind the "Faffing" as I would be paying someone to do that bit. Just getting the idea if its worth the extra effort for them.

I've recently bought a 68 bay and I also have a splitty. The splitty is nearing the end of a 13 month rebuild and now the bay takes over. The guy I bought it from has offered me first dibs on a 914 engine he has, what I want to know is has anyone else put one in there's? What's involved and is...

Just like to let everyone know that may need a transporter. I have used a guy from Warrington called Phil Unsworth and he's "Excellent" very knowledgable with all things Vee Dub, he's prompt and does it or the right money. I can't recommend him enough :D he collected my 68 Bay from Hull and...

Wow. For old pictures from the 60's, they are perfect quality and the content is fantastic. Thanks for those. I love em.

What happens if you finish work early and your at the top? Bad news if the guy below you is working late eh!! :D

Hi Everyone I attended last years show and would like to say, the show combined with the "Excellent" weather we had a FANTASTIC time. Last year my splitty was undergoing a 14 month restoration and so I bought a T4 Doka and coupled up my 55 Westfalia funeral trailer for the event. This year...
