As far as I could tell th bye only things that needed to be changed were the backing plates and drums.. I think mine took about 3 weeks to arrive when the early drum was on backorder Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

You can convert them but when I looked at it I think the cost of newer drum and the newer backing plate wasn't much different to the cost of the earlier drum..I hoped I wouldn't be replacing them often enough to make the switch worth while :) Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

The early ones had a single outer lip and matching backing plate Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

If it's 68 model year it's a one year only part as well Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Haha best to check! Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Cheers :) I want the whole thing gone so can send you the whole thing for a tenner posted? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

I have a filter that's missing the thermostat taking up room in my garage. Any use to you? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Cheers sparky, I'll give it a go then. Nothing better to do at the minute anyway [emoji846] Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Having said that, the one Andy and I have doesn't seem to match the 68 or 69 variants... I'm going to have to line it up now to see if the screw holes match up

Some nice info there Mike, I hadn't realised the 68 one was different (everything is one year only :P) Looks like I might have to keep my eyes open for another one at some point

Just dug my LHD one out and the cut outs are the same although I've never gotten around to fitting it! Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Midland paintwerks for me as well. They do an amazing job and I had no issues at all with them. We had our bus done in 2012 and it still looks great 8 years on Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Have you seen the westfalia handbooks on the samba? Will give you a start at least https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/type2.php Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Looks like wagenswest do some, not sure who a UK supplier is though https://www.wagenswest.com/product/1968-71-volkawagen-bus-adjustable-rear-spring-plates

Oh right not sure of I've seen straight ones for a bus but I've not really looked! Would turning them on the splines compensate for the drop? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Transporterhaus have some http://transporterhaus.de/index.php/product/early-bay-window-bus-adjustable-spring-plates/ Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

It's relatively easy with adjustable spring plates. Undo the lower shock bolt, loosen the locking bolt on the spring plate and then Jack it up. The wheel drops down low enough to slide out of the arch Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

It touches, just, but hasn't caused any issues Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Found one pic on my phone.... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Mine fits with the spare in a 68 weary. Realised I never sent pics after my last post on this thread. Will try and remember this weekend... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
