Hi, So anyone with a Fire pit - Any recommendations on... 1) What brand/how much fuel you using to BBQ with? 2) What brand wood you using when just having it as a fire? Looking for something smokeless, as although I'll be in the van, others nearby will be slumming it in tents. Thanks, Steve

Hi, So I've just had some New CSP drum's fitted front and rear a couple of days ago. Also had new shoes and bearings fitted. Driving home all was good until about 20mins/20miles when I started hearing a screeching noise that just got louder and louder; Went out for another drive yesterday and...

Hi, Couple of Brake related queries: Rear... Last service had the rear bearings done & also wanted the shoes changing; Was informed that rear drums were starting to oval, so was advised no point in fitting the new shoes. Either get the drums skimmed (temporary solution) or buy some new ones...

Hi, Original Loom taken out of my 1969 US bay microbus. The good/but mostly bad: - It's not reusable. - It's about 90% complete but as you can see in the pictures it's been chopped/cut in lots of places to remove it from the van. - No fuse box, switches or relays; not all, but some wiring...

Hi, I'm looking to get my bus back to stock height - Been searching the usual suppliers for Original drum spindles and stock spring plates, but to no avail; All the spindles now seem to be dropped and the spring plates adjustable. Anyone know if they are available or recently bought these...

Hi, Currently got Recaros fitted, which are nice but thinking about a change. Was looking at other options and wondering about T25/T3 ones with arm rests. Read a few posts on samba etc, obviously can't just swap the stock seats over as the runners are different to an early bay (but maybe not...

Hi, Looking into replacing the fuel hose that goes from the tank to through the tinware. Will add pictures later, but have the following queries... 1) What was the stock route of the fuel hose from the tank to tinware? 2) Were there originally clips/clamps on the bodywork that secured the...

Evening, Tried starting bus and starter makes a single click, followed by a very high pitched continuous screech when the key is turned. Engine doesn't turn over; Didn't have a lot of time this evening but I've tried following: - Checked battery (7 years old, usually on trickle charge), reads...

Evening, Some background... Driving home the other night noticed my generator light dimly lit. Was worse with wipers going. Then yesterday bus started with sharp wine/screech noise from engine bay. G light still dim. Checked it over once it was running but no other sounds. Then last night start...

Just got some new R9 fuel hose from machine7 to replace my current hose. Looks like the Fuel hose on my bus is 5.6mm to the pump and 8mm to the Twin Carbs. From a bit of searching am I right in thinking the 8mm from the manual pump to carb is intentionally to reduce the pressure at the carb...
