I can't remember what Dormobile trim looks like - but I'd probably start my search here: https://nlavw.com/144-trims

I have this linkage, with clips on both ends. Always assumed they were necessary so it didn't shake or jolt itself off at some point

Get well soon, Andy!

Why not? I've run them on two engines and never had any issue. I think the key is to get good quality seals and to not over-tighten them.

+1 for Accuspark. Had them on both my buses and never had an issue.

My parents have a sort of dog lead that plugs in to a seatbelt clip. Feels like you could install a seatbelt receiver somewhere in the back and use that. Looks like this kind of thing:

Yep, that's a "later" bar that was introduced in '72. My '71 MY has the early style bar.

Straight swap?

When did you get yourself a crewie?! 😎

The fitting clamp is the same as the one that's used for the tailpipe e.g. A stock zorst will restrict your larger engine, but the puppers comfort wins all! 🐶 A scan on VWHeritage suggests the OD of stock J-tubes is 35mm (example here)

Panel vans rock! 😎 Your photo is a proper tease. Tell us more! What's going on, on the roof there? What's it like inside? What are your plans? Also a big fan of the Morris (my dad owns a 1000) 👍

If you're not running a rager of a motor, I wouldn't even consider it. Even then, I'd refer to someone like @karlos who I'm sure will have a strong opinion on this one 😉

A stock exhaust is going to be the quietest option. They can use J-tubes of the "standard"/narrower diameter and don't need flanges. The end that connects to the exhaust box is basically a straight pipe! Is your engine [fairly] stock?

I get breakdown through my bank. Used it more than I'd care to admit 😅 It's a perk that's definitely worth it (my monthly account fee is less than a quote I got from The AA previously)!

Fancy making me one as well, Andy? 😁 Been a while since I visited your neck of the woods, so if you need an extra set of hands one evening or weekend give me a nudge 👍

Forgive my ignorance here, but that sounds (and looks!) like the drums and pads are in contact, so shouldn't you adjust the brakes before replacing the drum? 🤔 Is it on both sides, or just one? I have a vague recollection of something like this on my bus and it was because I'd installed the...

There aren't enough pink buses - so it gets my vote! I think toning it down a touch would be good - the "original" pink is a bit too loud for me. Great work on the bus so far - look forward to your updates

Lookin' good 😎

Phwoar! Can't say I've seen that kind of interior before with the cupboard behind the driver. Tell us more? 😁

This is probably one of those can-of-worms conversations, but in my admittedly limited expertise in this area (calling it "expertise" is even a stretch): if you're going for a single carb then a 34 PICT should do the trick just fine.
