Four 195/50x15in tyres for sale. All got plenty of life in them. Red-walled by Ant (they came off his 356 rims). Pics if required but again, I can't add them myself. Can take to VF if sold beforehand or collect from near Bedford. £10 each or four for £30 - need the space back. Cheers, Jim

Grazy, Top advice, thanks very much. I appreciate your honesty (as I've come to expect at EB...) So, update then; Cab mat and walk-thru piece, £75. Cargo mat, £50. Vanfest or collect from near Bedford. Note, I won't be taking them to VF unless they're already sold and I'll be leaving...

I've got a set of rubber mats for sale, for a LHD EB: front cab and walk-through and rear cargo mat. All can be taken to Vanfest. The front mat and walk-through are in very good condition, a bit grubby but I'll clean them before we head off. The rear mat has one part hanging off where the...

If it's any use to you, my girlfriend bought me a new/recon motor from Elite VW in Essex for Christmas last (yes, I am a VERY lucky boy). A stock 1600SP was £500 plus something like £100 fitting and touch wood, so far it's been spot on. Took us to Le Mans in the height of what passes for this...

Like life, everything is negotiable. Be going on Fleabay at the weekend, BTW...

I've got a Bluebird middle seat for sale. I originally was going to use it but never got round to it and now have enough seats in the back that I don't need it. It's the complete kit with frame, boards and foam and the box has only been opened to check everything is there. I paid £90 for...

You have PM.

Were you there this year, BTW? There was another EB just across from us at Bleu Nord. Oh, and if you're going to France, take skins - theirs are rubbish...

Thanks James. I bought a DVD off FleBay a while ago, featuring Raby's DTM shroud for Beetle conversions and tried watching it for the first time at the weekend. Looks like a proper conversion but the DVD froze when it started getting interesting... From memory, I've seen photos of a few EBs...

Can anyone help me please? I'm considering a Type 4 conversion, probably 2-Ltr in my '70 Bay over the winter, ready for next summer. Firstly, is this a good idea? I don't want to go racing, I just want lots more torque and not constantly find myself in that 'buzz it in third or stall it in...

We found head in the middle was a bit less claustrophobic. Also, if you go for a square cushion at the back, it's a lot easier to get it covered/trimmed. We bought a few duvet covers from Matalan and got a friend to knock covers up for the R&R foam and the buddy seats for a fairly sizable...

If it's any help, I went with foam the same size as the seat and back-rest and the rear part, over the engine bay, square in line with the narrowest part of the rear section, just inside the tailgate. This seems to be plenty wide enough for both our feet (we go head in the middle) and leaves a...

Tyres and tracking seem OK. Yes, the steering wheel snatches. I've subsequently discovered a fairly hefty drumming which disappears on right-handers, so the garage is gonna change the front bearings and replace the left hand flexi-pipe. They've already put a pair of cylinders on that wheel and...

Can anyone help before I go insane? My '70 Bus has a massive snatch/pull to the right under braking. It hasn't lost any fluid while driving but a couple of weeks ago, it drained the reservoir while stood still but with no evidence of where the fluid went. I topped the fluid up before it...

Hi, bit late I know but was wondering if the starter motor is still available? Will it fit a 1970 1600 SP? Cheers, Jimbly

Ant, Thanks for putting the pics up and I'm glad you like it - I'm loving the wheels - thanks again. I guess I could have gone just larger at the back but those sizes were recommended to me by a pro and as a bit of a newbie, I kinda went with what they said. They also said that I ought to be...

Ant, Pics on the way to you. Cheers, Jim

Hey Ant, No change of plans as such but it was a little too undergeared with the 195/50s. Also, when I had it lowered, they set the heights based on larger rear/smaller front to get the rake right. So while it looked awesome with the 195s, it sat nose high. With 185/65 rear and 175/55 front...

For sale, four secondhand red-banded (by Ant when originally on his Bus) 195/50x15 tyres for sale. There are 2 Champiros, 1 Bravarius and one, I can't even pronounce... They've all got plenty of meat on them and should do someone for a good few miles. Open to offers and will even throw in a...
