Hey, its been a while since I posted any photos here, and since Photobucket has gone and fucked us all, and no old pics are showing, I thought I would test the new photo upload feature.... :) Winter scrubber The "in the grass" shot I bit of promo for my craft brewery :) Thank you!

Sparkywig... I think you mean August 1970, after then 1971 model year started production with 5x112PCD.

I bought mine from Rackhams in Ipswich. They used to advertise westy interior panels on here. It fitted perfectly. Might be worth a try. https://m.facebook.com/RackhamsVWRestorers/?locale2=en_GB

Are you asking me? :lol:

Thank you for your replies chaps! Gave this a go as a quick fix, the shaft/bearing was full of crud and squeaking loud, so after some penetrating spray, a quick clean and some silicon lube they were running smooth again. Thank you!

Hello Drove the bus home from work tonight, it started raining so switched on the wipers, they went reallly slow... like they were dragging/scrapping across the windscreen....with an audible straining noise. They have never been particularly smooth or fast but have always worked fine. So does...

I don't have a spacer on mine, though the indicator stalk is pretty close to the steering wheel. Not a problem for me now but took a bit to get used to. Here it is. I think the MCJ ones look real good too as they have the metal horn push.

I have one of these 17" bus wooden steering wheels, been on the bus for several years now, now problems at all http://www.fiftysixdelux.com/restocal.htm Scroll down a bit.

Hi Grazy. I use the Photobucket app on my phone. It works better than photobucket website. Much easier too as all my photos are taken on my phone nowadays!

About a third of the way down on the inside edge of the buddy seat backrest is a rest for the table to sit on.

With regards to the support, early westys had the support, then in 71 the table rested on the backrest of the buddy seat. I would imagine that a 72 is the same.

And this is safari on iPad. All works well. The only issue is the floating Cherished ad over the Early Bay header. Other than that it works perfect as far as I can tell.

Hey Johnny. It looks much better as the ad banner doesnt reduce the width of the forum template. But some strange overlapping still. Hope this helps. The site looks great on my laptop, I think much improved on the older one. Ipad looks good too. Cheers for the efforts! Andrew.

Ditto. If you dont have access to a dry store unit. Mine is outside year round, used regular and I don't suffer from major condemnation. Just avoid the grit.

Hi Johnny A couple of other users mention iPhone, I don't use tapatalk and the forum is looking like this in safari on iPhone. Looks like there is a column missing. Hope this helps. Thank you. Andrew.
