Thanks for the reply Book! I'll probably have to join up and find him. : )

Hey everyone. So I'm in the market for a new carb and I'm wondering where I should get it from and what exactly I should get. It's a 71 westy with the 1600. I normally order from cip1 dot com, but I don't see that top of the line German carb on the list. There is one made in Mexico that is...

Demand here in Canada is definitely not what it is there. I suppose selling to someone over there would probably include a very high shipping price. Damn oceans. :P The little seats seem to be a bit of a find. Good stuff! Thanks for the chisel tip. Gonna have to go pick one up. I'm not an ebay...

Thanks for the info folks. Sorry but no bunks. I sold them with the pop top to some fella in California.

So I've stripped out my '70 Dormy. Just the front seats and dash to go. Seats look like a pain. The bus is half fiberglass and they've run it right up over the nuts and bolts that attach the seats.. :/ .. So now that I have this stuff yanked out of the Dormy, I need help deciding what goes to...

geezzz... I want skills... Well done dude!

Why thank ya. I gotta get those new seals on though. So hard to find time to do anything now a days. Time to drive to the jungle in the bus and live the simple life I think. ;)

Ahh great stuff popcorn. Glad to hear they arrived safely. Pleasure doing business. : )

Thanks dudes. I think it's all been worth it! Dumping more cash than I expected into him, but I suppose it's just money. You're right surfer, she is a sweet gal.. most of the time!!

Just a few pics from camping yesterday. Was a fine day but Dexter already managed a chip in his windshield and he's already killed a little bird. What a guy. Still a few kinks to work out with the bus. i.e - I can't open my sliding door or it will fall on the ground :s eekk!! Yea.. it...

The Lady and I camping yesterday. Good times.

The calipers are perfect. They brake like a charm. Nice gold colored dual piston beasts. I'm impressed. Dexter is inspected and is on the road. Just got home from a good oil change and tune up. All is well! I could probably do pretty good business buying and reselling them to you folks. hmm...

I can definitely do that if you folks would like. I'd say everything about the dash is in great shape. I will be keeping the largest piece of it for myself but it sounds to me like you are saying the piece around the speedo and such is it's own piece. I can see the screws in my pic now, so...

Thanks for the replies. Everything I have read tells me that They do not make new 71 or 72 calipers, but supposedly my mechanic got a hold of someone after 20 or so phone calls that said they could get them.. and cheap... about $75 each. I am confused.. so, we put rush delivery on them and they...

:cry: So I thought we were ready to go. We had the weekend planned out. Camping at a huge music festival about an hour and a half away. Windshield went in this morning.. just a little brake work to go. Or that's what we thought. Looks like it will be a tent as usual now. Both front calipers...

Took them off today popcorn. I'm busy for the weekend but PM me and offer and your address and I will get back to you asap.

Do you need the entire mechanism or just the levers?

Oh my... that is just awful.. :( Hope the new bus works out, but geezz. I can't even imagine.. Best of luck in the future dude.

No problem dude. The old beast's arrival... Pity I could never possibly afford to bring this one back. It was road legal in '04.. urgg..
