Hi Any idea where to get the bush for the back end of an original starter motor from? Most places supply the bush for the bell housing but I can't seem to find bush that fits in the back of the cover. To be honest the bell housing bush wasn't that bad but since I wound a M12 tap into it to get...

Done a quick search looking for some threads on a starter motor refurb but can't find any. Got the starter off and the cover over the brushes/communtator but the shaft doesn't pull through. There's a small bearing next to the starting gear to get off but I can't see how it comes off. Any ideas...

Van hasn't moved since dubs at the castle. Took it for a spin ready for vw action tomorrow, tried to reverse onto the drive and it cut out. Turn the key and it starts 1st time, select reverse and it dies. So I pulled the cables off the reversing lights and reversed onto the drive. I put the...

I was looking at fitting Porsche Tombstones into my van but I wont be able to fit the Westy cab bunk in because of the high backs, and during last nights ebay session I came across some MK1 Mazda MX5 seats which look quite low and the head rests are removable. Has anyone fitted these? Cheers Nik

Hi I fancy changing the front seats in my Westy for Porsche Tombstones. Does anyone know if you can still fit the cab bunk/hammock if the seats are tilted forward? Might have to have a rethink if it's not practicable. Cheers Nik

Evening Campers Looking at ways to refresh the interior of my westy. I want to bring the wardrobe, bed and sink/cooler back to life, I've thought about the formica stuff but the designs seem pretty plain. I was wondering if anyone has used a wrap to cover their interior units? Is it hard...

Hi Am I right in thinking I can use Beetle shocks on the rear of my bus (69 Westy)? Since lowering with the horseshoe plates it's knocking and banging regularly even when I bounce on the rear bumper. I think I saw somewhere that people use Beetle shocks to cure this as they're shorter. So do I...
