By the way, the seat brackets are simply short lengths of the table channel that is screwed to the front of the main cabinet. If you can find a trashed one then you're good for about 30 seat brackets :)

I posted on here years ago that the best way to clean the plastic T0 trim is with methylated spirits. I did before and after shots but it was all in photobucket so I think the pics are probably gone now. Wire wool in addition will help but you only need a rag for most of it.

Gearbox sold!

OK guys, these bits are still languishing in my garage and I'm about to move so they have to go. Make me a (kind and sensible) offer and it's yours. I also have a CA code gearbox for sale. Internals are good and slop free (I had a sloppy box to compare it against and this one feels really...

I've got an Empi 4-1 manifold with a Bug pack single exhaust. Only removed it due to fitting towbar and it's in good condition. PM me if interested.

That sounds like an option worth exploring. Any idea where I can get one? Thanks Moseley

Because the battery will be disconnected...?

I use a battery isolator (on the earth terminal) to save my battery in the low use winter months and as an added level of security but it is a pain as I keep losing my radio settings. I read about "setting-saving" devices used by workshops to preserve radio lockouts, ECU fault codes etc during...

When I had some resto work done I had the guy fit Deluxe trim. He said he got it from Just Kampers IIRC and to be honest it's crap. There are broken clips all over and it's like foil. If you forget yourself and push the sliding door or cab door shut while pressing on the trim (it's surprisingly...

I built a 1776 using an Auto Linea case from Coolair. It's a great engine. The case is a bit heavier for sure but way stronger and in a bus the weight difference of that case by percentage of the whole vehicle is negligible - like carrying a 12 pack of beers in the boot? I had to adjust the...

Same on mine

Idles operate up around 3000 revs before the mains kick in so it's surprising how much you rely on them. Another idea - I don't know much about Dellorto carbs but are you sure that the vacuum takeoff you are accessing is above the throttle plate? If your timing is set to expect advance on...

This is one of my favourite interior builds. I hadn't seen the Sundial layout until you mentioned it and as I said before I think the work you've done is top notch. I hope to see you at a show one day and have a proper look around (with your permission of course..! :))

Boing...

When I knew we had a baby on the way I went on the lookout for a nice period trailer to go on the bus, to carry nappies, toys, playpens etc... I quite fancied a Westy Essen or similar and even though of building something new from scratch but in period style. Eventually I found a "Lama Remorque"...

Thanks!

Thanks Sparkywig, that's helpful. Couple of questions- Are the plectrum shaped grey pieces separate from the gold coloured bits behind or are the spot welded as one unit? Did you make up the little spring towers that are bolted to the carb mounts yourself or are they a part of the standard...

Thanks Abel Can you advise what I need. It's not like I'm replacing bits, I don't know what should be there on the ends of the spindles. Is it the same for the left and right carb?

I bought a set of second hand IDFs recently but unfortunately the PO failed to mention that the throttle levers were missing... Hence I just have the threaded spindles on each side. Right now I don't know exactly what I need to order up but the cost of what I've looked at so far is painful! £20+...

This is a steal at £85... I looked for ages for a decent pair to restore and paid nearly that for 1! I reckon it's timing Paul, I see these in demand in flurries and reckon someone will be looking for a nice winter refurb project soon :)
