    Parts Wanted Continental Roof Bed wanted

    Hi, Looking for an ideally original Continental double bed, I’d also be more than happy with one of Faux’s old kits too. I’m happy to source the wood panels and upholstery if required, the hardware is the tricky bit. I’m aware NLA do them but they’re a little different to the original...

    Westy Magazine rack trim

    Hi, Does anyone know what the original trim would be for around the rim of the aperture in the magazine rack of the buddy seat? Mines a bit strange as it’s a SO67/R I have a double buddy seat and therefore a larger magazine rack, it’s never had any trim around it, also should there be a back...

    Seatbelt for childseats

    Hi, On the R&R bed I have a three point seatbelt on the drivers side, as I have a Westy I only have a lap belt next to the wardrobe. Not sure if it helps but I’ve recently bought a ‘Britax Romer Eclipse’ car Seat for my 14 month old daughter. The good thing is the seat can be used with just...

    disc brakes all round

    I may be wrong but I think disc brakes on the rear are not really worth the extra effort and cash. Don’t forget as soon as you begin braking the weight of the bus (and everything in it) shifts toward the front meaning the front brakes are doing the bulk of the braking. Many think disc brakes...
