I was kinda hoping it wasn't even though I know they are. Thanks anyway. I best get fishing in that fuel tank

Top stuff, many thanks. I don't suppose you could put a magnet to it and confirm it's definitely aliminium. I have cut my access hole bigger and shone a tourch down into the tank and somehow the tube is in the bottom of the tank. I need to fish it out and can't use a magnet if it's definitely...

Happy with the fact that I was pretty competent at reading and understanding wiring diagrams I decided that I should purchase a Rev Counter. I looked around and found that all the VDO ones were big bucks. I had a look on Ebay and found an original VDO on sale untested for £40. I pinged the...

Next Job was getting the lights sorted. I found a brown and white wire behind the steering/ignition area and a lose wire brown and white to connect to the other which was towards the front of the bus near the headlights. I put them together and hey presto I was in business. Everything was...

First job was to figure why the Winscreene wipers would only do one speed on one setting. Tested the motor by supplying live to the three points to check the motor wasn't at fault. I had all three working. Parking, first speed and second speed. That eliminated, I turned to the switch. Everything...

Excellent many thanks

Well, I have tried to contact the admins to change the ownership of the thread as Andy suggested, but nothing back from them yet. So, I was the second person to view the Bus that Graham had for sale. The first person was put off due to the rust around the front nearside windscreen seal. As soon...

I have managed to get the Fuel Sender out of my 72 Crossover. The reason it wasn't reading was that the Nichrome Wires had come adrift. I also don't have the sleeve/tube that the float sit within to keep it steady or protected. I am not sure if it's actually needed or not. But I am guessing that...

Looks nice, I have to reduce the weight. The Morland material looks nice. For the price of it I will probably save that in fuel once the weight saving is done.

I think it has to go ahead. I took out the cupboard behind the passenger seat and it's heavy, like probably 15 - 20kg heavy. If that can be reduced it's got to be good for the bus.

Top stuff that's exactly what I need. It will take the hastle out of strengthing Polycarbonate.

So I currently have a stock 1.6 Dormobile conversion. I am wanting to replace the interior with the same but want to replace it with a lighter material. I think it's currently 15 or 18mm plywood which is seriously heavy. I am looking to see what others have done to replace the wood with some...

Sorry to hear about your loss. Was this the guy's van that used to go to Vanfest which turned into Busfest. I thinkg he lived in Nottingham or Derby.

Before I make a hole for the sender I wanted to check the guage. So here are the results, hoping anyone can advise on a solution. Ignition on - Fuel Guage reading full Brown wire off at the terminal - Fuel Guage reading empty I split the wire at the rear arch where it enters the fuel tank...

It wasn't when I was driving it. It was when I wast adusting the gear shift plate. I happened to have the ignition on and the keys were resting on my shoulder and pressing againt the colum and setting the horn off. When I did it independently to check I got a little spark and the horn sounded...

Thanks, they have been re soldered. This pic was taken when I was trying to figure out why the main beam wasn't working. I just lifted the pic as it's the only one I had to show the front. Eveything is working fine now. I just need to get the cancelling sorted. I was concerned it was metal to...

Can someone advise if there should be a plastic cover on the end to help this cancel. At the minute it's metal to metal but does t cancel. Anyone got any video. Footage or photos of a 1972 Crossover cancelling.

I thought I had fixed the horn issue. It sounds as it should when you press the button. The thing I noticed the other day when I was adjusting my shifter plate I had the keys in the ignition and it was on. I must have knocked the keys against the steering collumn and the horn sounded. I then...

Lovely looking van. I have pretty much the same except mine is in resto mode at the minute although it's completely drivable. I think I want the same front seats as yours. Do you have a fridge in it or is it the old cool box? If you have a fridge can you let me know what it is. I am onto the...

I am sure I am going to answer my own question here. I have on my 1972 Crossover with one screw headlight rims, which retain the lense/main headlight. Today I took one of the rims off to investigate how much room is behind. There was some angled brackets attached to the inner rim. I take it that...
