pics pls :( . If the bolt heads are damaged after the welds have been ground out you may have to weld a bolt to each bolt head to try and get them undone, some people eh :twisted:

Are you sure that metal thingy inside that fibre sealing ring isn't the remains of an old heat exhanger flange?. I dont recall there being any metal items within those bellow assemblies :roll: . Try removing the metal thingy and then offering the bellows/sealing rings up to your heat exchangers...

Yes the pipes (black plastic bellow type thingies) should simply push over the exterior of the exchanger pipes and then be secured with a clip. One of your items must be of the incorrect size (hopefully the pipes :wink: ). It might be possible to fabricate some type of coupler for them if you...

A vacum advance tapping point i believe, i'm sure where that is where my dizzy is connected to.

Hi mate i'm in St Georges so not that far away :wink: . I've dumped my van at the paint shop today, it no longer has any lights or pop top on it, ready for the prep, fingers crossed :shock: . We are meeting up at the bucks head on long lane by Crudgington on Tuesday the 2nd of December at...

You could do with a carb and manifold off a blown engine, one you can just bolt on and get you back on the road with a few tweaks. I do actually have these items but the carb is probably a bit worn, anyone else got anything :?:

It is definatly spot welded to the airbox panel, might be easier to cut out the upper rotten section and weld in a repair plate fabricated from a cardboard template. Good luck.

around 2K including the prep, i have another car at the paint shop at the mo and whether i go for it will depend on how good that job is!. Fingers crossed eh :roll: . No opinions on the colour then :( . Froggy are you a member of a local club in Telford?

Waxoyl (finnegans) also make a good quality underseal which does actually contain waxoyl and remains more flexible than some of the old style underseals, good stuff. Obviously waxoyl is totally useless for wheel arches etc, the spray washes it off :wink:

I think campers are more popular in the UK because of the crap weather we have here, beats sleeping in a tent anyday :wink: . Imported busses are also popular over here because of the damp climate, most UK busses have their fair share of corrosion/filler, imports are usually more Solid, rust...

I'll try and dig it out this weekend and get a few pics :wink:

Not sure on that one :roll: . I am wondering whether it is possible to get a good standard bottom end, machine it out to take 1800 or 1900 B+P, would it be too weak and unreliable for the extra BHP???, or do i have to spend loads for posh crank etc :roll:

I actually like the VW Manilla yellow colour (L560) on link http://www.pre67vw.com/colours/default.aspx?p=12" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with a white roof :roll: . Any opinions would be greatly appreciated :wink: , i only want to do this once, cant afford to do it twice

I have a plastic radio blanking plate which was fitted to my bus before i fitted the stereo is this what you mean?, its living in my garage somewhere.

Have 1641 too, been very well mannered so far. I believe the concerns are down to the thickness of the barrels, heat dissipation etc, fable or fact is another matter :roll:

MMMM that bus is nice, if i dribble over the keyboard any more i'll electrocute myself :lol: Great way to die though 8). If i can obtain the original paint code i wonder how easy it would be to get the paint made up :roll:

Thanks for the input guys, i'll be going for the gutter paint split then :wink: . The original paint colour was like a dull grey/cream, so i think i'll go beige with a white roof. The van will probably be finished by the time i've made any sense out of the Id plate :lol:

Hello all, I've had a really good quote on a respray today, the question is, is the colour divide on a 68 dormobile the type where the body is one colour and the roof is white?, or is the lower body one colour and the rest from the window line upwards in white?. I need to get this right...

I bought a sealey sand blasting kit off Ebay, it was a local supplier so i didnt have to pay postage. The kit consists of a Grit container which is about the size of a watering can which is coupled to the blasting gun via 3 metres of hose. The kit included a 25kg bag of grit and cost about...
