I haven't found a definitive answer for this online, I'd like to fit a VDO oil pressure guage, question is will that sensor will also double up for the speedometer idiot light, I assume the dash light goes off when it gets a positive reading so I assue it will? ....and if so, is it best to run...

A few of you guys are based around Bristol, can anyone recommend a garage who are happy to undertake 4 wheel alighnment on a slightly lowered T2? I'm the other side of Bath but the places I've approached in my immediate neighbourhood have said thay can't or won't do it, so I may need to...

Quick question, without going into the technicalities of inner outer splines as I'm familiar with the principle, as a starting point where would you position the spring plate in relation to the tab at the base of the springplate housing (either clearance or overlap) to get acheive a drop just...

My 68 bay is fitted with the wide-5 CSP kit suitable for 14" steel wheels and the calipers are both shot with a full rebuild required to get them going again, rather than rebuild the crappy Delco calipers I'd prefer to replace them with a better quality alternative. Willwood seem like a...

We came to fit some mid rear 3/4 windows yesterday and came unstuck on getting the opening quarter window in pleace. We just couldn't get ity to sit right, it's a repro from VW Heritage with new rubber to seal so I was expecting it to be a tight fit but we ran into problems with the metal tabs...

I need to refit the rear torsion bars into our '68 T2 but unfortunataly the reference marks I made on the bars and chassis have scrubbed off during the work so there's no reference to their original position. Obviously there are a million video's of folk demonstrating how they can be rotated to...

I'm looking for a chassis rail repair panel where the rear C-section becomes a box section in front of the torsion bar tube, they seem to be available for late bays but not for anything pre 70. Looking for an equivalent to this...

I'm replacing the rear outrigger on my '68 as well as the handbrake cable tube as they've both seen better days. Does the tube finish flush with the rear of the outrigger, or does it project through the hole a bit further? If so, by how much?

If someone has a '68 bay to hand could you measure the diameter of the steel tube exiting the base of the bottle please. I've just bought one and it doesn't fit so need to know whether the part is incorrect or the hard line on the van has been swapped out for something non standard over the...

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but a search hasn't brought any definitive results and I'm sure it's an easy answer for those running a similar setup... Do the standard pressures as per the original steels on the front/rear tyres still apply, or is there a deveation from this...

It doesn't look like these are made any more (unless someone can point me in the direction of a repro) and mine has a crack in it. Would anybody have one they are willing to part with?

I need to do something with the Canterbury Pitt style pop top fitted to our ’68 Devon. I’ve heard Devon used these early on prior to them developing the their own 2 part pop top that people would normally associate with Devon conversions. I don’t know for sure whether that is true, but I’d be...

Two 205 bcd rear drum options from JK to fit a '68 bay, the question is what makes the second option £110 better? Option 1 - £185 per pair Option 2 - £295 per pair

I was recommended this to be the best setup for some 36's going into our van, does this sound about right? DRLA 36 1641cc Dual Port Venturi 30 Main Jets 125 Airs 180 Pumps 35 Idles 55

I need to get some rear side panels/corners/battery trays for my 68. I'm not as familiar with who's producing what as I once was (looks like my last post on here was early 2018!) so wondered who is considered to be manufacturing the best panels for early's these days? I'm after a quality OE...

I'd like to fit a bed in the roof space of our '68 Devon by placing some bed boards across the opening. I believe the pop top on ours is a retro fitted Canterbury Pitt roof and the existing framework leaves something to be desired, there's no ledge to carry bed boards and I'm not sure it would...

Would anyone know where I can get a pair of replacement headlamp buckets for the front panel of a '68 T2? I've searched all the usual suspects but nobody seems to make them? surely that can't be the case, any leads...?

What are these like, following somebody reshaping the front end of the van for us with their BMW and weighing up the option of new panels vs dry imported front clip. Are these panels from VWheritage comparable to OE quality? Any feedback appreciated.

Unfortunately the original bumper that I assume has been leading the way on the van for the last 49 years has met it's maker following a collision with a careless third party, so it needs to be replaced. Can anyone provide some feedback on the VW Heritage bumpers, they're not cheap and they say...

I need a standard spindle for the near side of a '68, anybody got one?
