Sorry, I'm going to dissent by saying I can't stand bands. Noisy bastards! I just want nice old cars and good food and ale. No 'scene' crap, no t5's with rusty bonnets, no people selling those trolleys for pulling kids around, preferably no kids either, no tents full of collections of bmxs or...

It is! On page 7 it shows what to do, classic Devon, half way between a good idea and a bodge, the tables are supported by pulling the draws out :roll: Cheers!

Hello all. I've got a '79 moonraker with a '71 moonraker interior which I've recently put in. Does anyone have any pics of how the bed works? I've seen some pics which show the two tables stretched out beside the sink unit, but I can't work out how to attach them to the draw unit. Cheers.

More useless anorak info. The large side hinged Devon roof is called the 'Double Top' roof. It's often mistakenly called the Moonraker, but that's actually the interior:) Here's mine. (sorry about the 'late' pic) As mentioned above, the big roofs really hammer the metal work, personally i'd...

I think the opening windows was a 'hot weather destination' option, but like everything, you could have had them in siberia if you ordered them:) The chrome trim on interior panels is a deluxe thing.

A lot of the stuff that gets labelled as 'deluxe' is just standard microbuses spec. My van's a microbus and it's got trim on the bulkheads behind the seats, cool air vents on the cab doors for the cargo area, warm air vents at the rear of the cargo floor, vinyl trim round the windows, all stuff...

I can start tomorrow! ;) Only joking, booked up 'till February. Hope you sort it out:) Paul weeding knows his onions:)

I think I can just about see a petrol flap, so it's either a '72 with a late front panel, or a '73 with early bumpers and the deformation panel removed. I saw one like that selling waffles in Brussels :)

Yep, all 'boxes from '76 onwards are 091 type, in either the 3 rib version for the 1600 or 6 rib for the 2L.

2L 'boxes are all 6 rib.

Dinitrol smells like waxoyl really, but the aerosol stuff seeps a lot better. The dinitrol I've got comes with a long probe which is great for doing inside the frame of the roof.

Found it! This pics are from a couple of years ago, but I've still got at the back of my store;) It's been stained a slightly darker color I think, but looks ok.

i've got one i think. i'll have a look tomorrow at work:)

Yep it's a standard factory window seal. There should also be a thin rubber seal on the window itself where it sits in the main seal. If it's missing or knackered it might mean that the window is a bit loose in the seal.

what do you mean reverse them, turn them upside down? You can't, the middle section is lower than the edges where they join to the sills. I make a section up that goes from the sill edge on the righthand side out to the side panel. you can either seam weld which takes ages or just plug weld the...

Might be ok on a race car, but surely a van which is used in everyday traffic will get hotter. The whole point of vw making loads of little seals and bits of tinware is to keep the engine bay cooler than the engine. If you drill holes in the lid, you'll draw hot air from the exhaust into the...

I think earlybay 'boxes were beetle derived 113 'boxes?

Check the idle jet, if you've cleaned the carb there's a good chance you've dislodged some crap which is blocking the jet. Also check the connection to the electromagnetic cutoff valve is ok.

I assume you're doing the top arms independently, i.e not connected to the steering knuckle? I find it easier to do it in two stages, remove the top rubber stop and then lever the arm onto the metal bit. Then when you've tapped the arm fully into place, lever it up again and slide the rubber bit...

Yep it's illegal. I think this happened a lot years ago when bays were still relatively cheap, so swapping the id with a tax exempt rotter before it was scrapped made more sense. Tax is so cheap now relative to the cost of vans that the only reason it's been done these days is to hide stolen...
