    71 locking fuel cap

    Not sure if its the same as my crossover, I think they may be. In which case there are some available. French I believe. Have a search on here. I'll try and remember where i got it!

    Cross over rear bumper

    I don't think anyone does. I got an original one from FBI a few years ago. Not cheap mind you. I have heard of people using early rears and making some kind of plate on the inside to adjust the offset of brackets - sort of a metal bar drilled to fit crossover brackets and then drilled to meet...

    Dormobile wiring

    Mine is exactly where Kevinhall shows. I fiddled with the wiring a couple of years ago and it started working. Was most surprised to see it flashes!

    paint protection

    I have seen laquered buses, over a deliberately rusted body. IMHO it looks a bit odd as it is rusty yet shiny if that makes sense. There must be ways of matting this a bit which would be easier than wax to maintain I would have thought.

    Solenoid cable

    Thanks all. Peter - that's the one. I was thinking red, but actually having checked the wiring diagram now it shows black so rlepecha makes a fair point. I'm sure I'll remember, and if i ever did pass on it would make sense. Thanks for the help. I'm buying one of VWP now. Funny how the price of...

    Solenoid cable

    Hi all, So after stripping the engine bay I find the cable from the battery to solenoid is damaged where it has been rubbing in one of the clips to body. It appears to be a black cable - which I thought is odd considering it is live. Is it 25mm2 and should it be black or red - or am I just...

    oops, yes mis-read - next to brake, not gearstick. What a beautiful underside that is. Incredible. :D

    Holes in cab floor

    Yep. I got one of the throttle stops at a show, about £8. Also you can get a rubber brake stop that will fill the two holes near brake pedal (although I believe they fit from underneath (never got round to fitting mine), these are available in uk suppliers. The one by gear lever I don't think...

    Dormobile roof locking mechanism question!

    As you say, they should just pop into place. Having said that, mine need an almight shove one at at time beyond where you would expect. I guess over time the canvas has tightened/dried. I suppose they could be back together wrong? - Only one way to find out! Dave
