    WANTED: Westy Buddy Seat Back Cushion

    have you got a photo of what it should look like? When I bought my van the guy gave me 2 buddy seat frames and cushions. My van is a dormobile so dont think it should have any. I plan to reuse one frame but not the cushions! penny

    1971 Bay Handrake assembly

    Mega bug sent me one off a 72 and its not the right shape. The 72 one is a straight cable with a hook on the end. My handrake lever is curved at the bottom with guides at both edges for the cables. Its pictured in the VW heritage catalogue but they dont stock the parts!
