Finally, we have decided that we have to sell our bus. We bought this from Alex at Transporterhaus and was unrestored 6 years ago. Since then it has been kept in a garage and used solidly throughout the summer we've toured the continent, Ireland and the UK. A really solid van right through...

I am selling these fantastic carbs because my 1941 T1 engine is fubar'd so replaced it with 1641 so bought some 34's to suit it better. When I was running these in the beetle, there were no starting issues, no coughs or splutters it just pulled nice and clean even with your foot flat down and...

Hi all Not wanting to spoil my original dash with a mismatching rev counter stuck on the top, I have been working on getting one made to not only fit the standard dash pod but to match (as closely as possible) the original clocks. It's taken nine months and a lot of time but I am really happy...

Hi all I have now put a VW heritage new sp2 1641 engine into the westy with 34 ict dual weber carbs and vintage speed exhaust. It runs like a pig! To be fair, it has been installed by a garage who are trusted but by their own admission, don't deal with getting the jetting, mixture etc right...

I am assuming that Ozziedog has a dog called Oscar, Oz, Ozzie, Ozziedog etc. We do also and he is called all of these things. Who else has a dog which knows when you are going camping in to bus, goes nuts and loves it. Pics would be good. I would attach a picture but apparently my "board...

My dual weber carbs have '44 IDF 39' stamped on the side. What does this mean? Would these carbs be suitable for a 1641 engine with a vintage speed exhaust? If not, anyone got any opinions on what is the best carb and exhaust combo for max reliability, best fuel consumption on long trips and a...

After a horrible ordeal trying to get my 2 litre engine rebuilt by a pro and it now being in a worse state than it was originally, it is time to start again so the bus is up and running for march. Problem is, this has made a huge dent in my budget and spending £2,500 on a brand newie from...

I am selling a VW evolution Westy Roof bed. What their website says:- "The bed is based on the original westfalia double roof bed, the bed can be fitted into a standard factory sunroof westfalia and also non factory models as well. If you own an American or south African early westfalia you can...

Does anyone have a good set of standard spindles for a '71? I have a set of Transporterhaus dropped spindles that i'm looking to swap for Standard ones, so either going to buy standards then sell the Transporterhaus ones or do a swap with cash my way. They are still on the van and will be...

I've been putting this off for ages but now the westys box is noisier, the 1600 sp engine has a leak at flywheel end. I need to get it sorted for this season and should be best to get the lot sorted in one. I have managed to get together £2000 to get it sorted, but here is why I've been...

I've been looking around for a canopy pretty much the length of the van if poss which will attach to the gutter then out to poles then. Pegged out with guy ropes. It rains so much during the summer, something this simple means that you can still sit out with a beer if it's peeing down and the...
