    Parts Wanted Continental Roof Bed wanted

    Hi, Looking for an ideally original Continental double bed, I’d also be more than happy with one of Faux’s old kits too. I’m happy to source the wood panels and upholstery if required, the hardware is the tricky bit. I’m aware NLA do them but they’re a little different to the original...

    Westy Magazine rack trim

    Hi, Does anyone know what the original trim would be for around the rim of the aperture in the magazine rack of the buddy seat? Mines a bit strange as it’s a SO67/R I have a double buddy seat and therefore a larger magazine rack, it’s never had any trim around it, also should there be a back...

    VW Heritage bumper brackets

    Hi all, Big time lurker, small time poster here... I always find myself standing on my rear bumper to reach the Westy luggage rack (I know I probably shouldn’t). Anyway, I’ve bought some corner brackets to stiffen up the bumpers when not running splash pans, see below...

    Multiple Bluetooth Speakers in your bus?

    Hi, I currently run a speaker in the original position on the dash and two pod speakers in the footwell. I've got a period radio with a aux input and I only ever play music through my phone via Spotify or on an old iPod that's got loads of tracks. Interested in getting some speakers in the...

    VW Craps out!! Advice please?!

    Hi all, So, I'm in the dordogne in France at the moment - lovely by the way! Was tootling along quite nicely along a quiet road around 40mph when the bus lurched, backfired (well, sounded like a bang) lurched again and simply cut out. Never had any issues like it before, always been a really...

    Three belts up front?

    Hi, I have a non walkthrough bus (1970) with a bench seat. I was wondering if it's possible to have three front seat belts? I already have the two three point inertia belts but was hoping to get a third lap belt for the middle seat. I can't seem to find any extra mounts or do I just double...

    Bumper irons

    I was pleasantly surprised to find heritage now do rear bumper irons, I'm sure they were like hens teeth when I was after some a few years back. Just wondered what the correct colour for them is? Thanks

    Tailpipe fell off!

    I'm in the Lake District this weekend, (currently raining - shock), on the m6 on the way up I heard a strange noise, got off and it seems as though my tailpipe had come loose from the body of the exhaust and sheared (is it welded?) from the supporting bracket. I have a stock 1600 tp and a stock...

    Door card holes don't match up!

    Hi all, I've removed my doorcards to fit the plastic membrane, admittedly I fitted them and didn't know about the plastic a few years ago. I now have to get the door cards back on and the holes in the ply don't match to the holes in the door. Last time I put them on to my shame I glued them...
