Ok so this may be a blindingly obvious question, but on a 71 with a factory servo fitted, should the brake pedal position when at rest be at the very top, in line with the clutch pedal ? Mine was always about an inch or more below, but after fitting a new Servo & pedal pushrod (from Butty's...

So, my van was running quite rich, & after speaking with Eurocarb, I purchased a new set of chokes & jets. Despite my best efforts with carb balancer & flowmeter, just cannot get the engine running as sweet as it should. It's much better when cold, popping & backfiring when hot. Had it to...

As I was washing Mr Brightside after a Christmas break in Cornwall, it occurred to me that it is 5 years almost to the week that it was painted by Drew at Midland Paintwerks. I think you will agree, it's holding up very well indeed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

:shock: :shock: EBay

The clearout continues: I have a good solid beam from a 1969 LHD California Bay Window, not rot or repairs. This is complete from drum to drum including brakes KYB shocks etc. It was removed from a newly imported bay which had a RED9 kit fitted instead. The boots need changing, but all the...

Time for a clear out, I have for sale 5J x 14" wide 5 (5x205) steels from a 1969 bay. The are are 5 wheels, all are without dents, all are Genuine VW date stamped 1969. 4 have been repainted, 1 has not. All the tyres need replacing but are OK if you need to move a vehicle around in the garage...

So what are you all using to trace wires, check continuity etc ? I have a multimeter, but sometimes it has limitations when checking the origin of a wire. Saw this & it looks quite handy. Anyone used anything similar ...

F150 Westfalia anyone ? Driving behind it towards San Jose & It's not even straight ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been thinking about one of these for a while, anyone had any experiences or recommendations? Seen some on Flea Bay for £150 upwards for a medium sized one, just wondered if there were any "Ultrasonic gurus" on here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hello. I am nowhere near my bus for the next few days, but I am putting a new engine when I get back. I have an engine stand, a spare starter & bellhousing ready to run up the new engine out of the bus, but I need the bolts to attach the bellhousing/starter to the engine. I could take the...

Looking ahead to MOT time, I noticed I have the start of a split appearing in one of the steering ball joint boots & as this is now an MOT failure, thought I would set about fixing it. I know there has been a bit of discussion about some poor quality rubber boots which split very soon after...

I am sure they thought it was a good idea at the time, but I wonder just how long the roof gutters lasted ? Here Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

As above really. Need a cancelling ring for my EB steering wheel. What have you got ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Have you ever met your hero ? Did they disappoint or did they live up to your expectations ? My 12 year old nearly fell off his chair in a restaurant in Majorca this evening when I pointed out Bradley Wiggins was sat in the corner with his family. Rather than just wander over, I asked him...

I have a set of brand new Brembo discs for a 1970/71 Earlybay. Ideal if you are using the top hat converters for the later calipers or for the very first bays with discs. Still boxed £60. Realistically collection only due to weight or can take to Stanford Hall or CamperJam. Cheers G

As above, I need a complete sliding door mechanism (complete less handles) for a 69 LHD Bay. (Part No. 211 843 604B I think) Been let down by a trader, so need it pretty quick. What do you have ? Cheers G

As the title says really, need a genuine VW top pulley to fit an alternator. What have you got peeps ? Thanks G

Hi All, I know they can be the ruin of a good peaceful campsite, but I want one for the longer trips where Hook up is not possible. I want the quietest I can find & was looking at the Honda EU10/EU20, but they are quite pricey ! :shock: I have seen the other models by Yamaha, Subaru & this...

Taking a few days family break in Cornwall, parked up in Mevagissey today. Obscure photo, but I like it. Thought it was a good start for a thread, "Spot the Bay" where the van is not so obvious. What do you have ?

Had a few problems trying to post on the forum using Tapatalk. Posts just disappear, tried reinstalling Tapatalk but get an error message saying that he Earlybay Tapatalk plugin is out of date. Can one of the mods have a look please ? Thanks Graham
