Just like bay window rear aprons, there are different sizes and styles based on the year of the splitty or bay window. From pictures of rear aprons for sale at The Samba, it doesn't look like they will be a good fit if even at all. Check this website for the different splitty rear aprons...

Different combinations of engine/carb/dizzy all properly timed, will work. To get better performance, power and even fuel mileage I would rely on other drivers' experience and set-ups. Here's a huge list of VW vehicle/year/engine/carb/dizzy combination list. I found this on The Samba but do not...

Fabricated and installed license plate brackets. No holes in the bumper!

Good find!

It sounds like your speedo needs recalibration. Have a read through this, give it a try and let us know how it goes! http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=474291" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There's nothing to it really. Read the link for problem solving ... otherwise detach both ends and pull it out & replace with a new one. Just remember to take pictures of where it's routed through the body & around other bits if your memory is poor like mine...

Sounds like the wires may be on the wrong terminals or even bad grounds. Do you have the wiring diagram for your specific bus? Year/Euro/US will make a difference although electrics are electrics, they can get confusing. I hate electrics, but sat down with a few different wiring diagrams and...

Like Gvee said ... it is a 100% mechanical speedo. The front driver's side wheel cap should have a square hole with the end of the speedo cable poking through, held there with a c-clip. Follow the cable up to your speedo where it is screwed on hand-tight to the back right in the middle. No need...

Installed retractable seat belts and a lap belt for a third passenger in my non-walk through panel van. Sooo much better!

Words to live by! Illness, divorce, loss of self-worth, friends and job ... whatever the problem is ... can each make life a struggle. Been through all of these all at once, had a few extremely rough years, but since then I discovered new passions and found the meaning of life .... for ME to be...

Thanks :)

I agree with what has been said. Open it up and give it a good clean. Make sure that you tighten screws well to secure the indicator unit to the steering column. One screw will not hold it in place.

My new key ... and it works. I saw this online and just had to make one :lol:

Now that's a nice panel! 8)

Yes. Fold the seat, insert the bottom of the seat in the brackets first then keep the seat folded until you secure two bars on the back into the upper brackets, release the bottom of the seat. Give the back a good tug towards the front of the bus and hope all is secure.

Good news! Where did you buy your brake light switches? I'm looking to buy a couple spares just in case.

Finally got around to doing a compression test after the engine rebuild. 140+130+140+130= :mrgreen:

Looking really good. Nice colour combination 8)

Glad you got it sorted madmike. Makes us appreciate our buses, effort and new skills even more :)
