Hi all I have a properly retro bike for sale, offered to anyone on here for £50. Gents Raleigh Transit , 3speed, genuine 1970s original. I"m in Derby for collection. Photos to follow!!

Its very easy to spread yourself too thin, which I freely admit to. (Full time job, ongoing house restoration and DIY, two kids, one with some serious medical conditions, the other who is just plain difficult, a couple of rental properties, the VW, two other classic cars, two elderly (20 yr old)...

I can text you a few pics of the original setup if you like - PM me your mobile no. Mine has the original brackets etc (though the bunk roll itself has gone missing unfortunately)

That's great, thanks all, interesting that there was an 'original' version (though I'm not THAT particular to only fit an OEM speaker!) Cheers, Rich

Hi all, I am wondering if anybody knows what size of speaker was originally designed to fit behind the dash speaker grille on the early bay please? And does anyone know if there is anything similar still available? I am happy to go down the second hand or vintage audio routes. I am fitting...

I know this is a very old thread but is this collective still going at all please, does anyone know?

Hi Ron, well if the RahD ones are rare then so be it, - yes please! I'll sort details etc by private mail. Thanks all, Rich

Nothing Ron ! - in fact I replied to this chap before I replied to you! It was only afterwards that I had the sudden thought that the sticks were probably different and I spotted from Cornish's signature bar that his van was LHD - hence my question to you. Now I know that they are different...

That's brilliant everyone - thanks very much! Looking on Ebay sold items they go for anywhere between £8 and £35 including delivery - so I'm happy to go mid-table - say £22 including the postage - would that suit you? However - are LHD and RHD gear shifts the same (ie are they just reversed?)...

Hi all, haven't been on for a while. I'm looking for a standard stock VW gear shift for my bus as I am tired of mucking about with the EMPI one. It's a standard 1968 RHD. I can't afford one of the Gene Berg ones or similar at the moment. Has anyone got a spare old one that they have replaced...

My van has the belly pans on underneath, full length, so was terrified when I tried this last weekend as a snap or failure would mean massive works. Make sure you remove the plastic/ nylon 'ends' at the rear of the van, I hadn't realised they trap a ferrule at the end of the cable. I squirted...

Great effort chap, you certainly aren't wasting any time with this! Falklands? Always been on my list of obscure places I'm almost certainly never going to get to, but would be fascinated to see...

Crap - just realised there are two sizes! Does anyone know off the top what size the hazard one is please? No worries if not, I can measure when I get home but if someone happened to know off the top I could order one today. Thanks all, Rich

Thanks folks!

Hi all - I recently bought a hazard light switch (off here) but now I have cme to think about fitting it, I notice it is missing the bezel/ ring thing you use to screw it through the dashboard. Does anyone know if these are available separately from anywhere please, or have a few spares going...

This might not help, but it's the same cross-section as the table-rail, if you can get one, and cut it down. They are similarly tricky to get hold of though!

Hey McGinty - is this lot still available please? I may be able to go halves with a colleague! Rich

Only from when I first bought the van - they're properly knackered though! I can email it you, can't access any photo hosting websites at work.

I have some ancient, knackered ones Wally - full of tears, and I nabbed the turn clips out of them for the new ones I made...
