Hi Malcolm, Yes - for a whole £6.50!!! Mike

Sold my bus so the magazines are going too. Currently on Ebay, collection only sorry. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332462598205 Mike Cumbria

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331839741477 Reluctantly selling our beautiful VW Westy Campervan. She's an original LHD 1971 Westfalia Camper and spent her first 37 years in sunny California before being imported to the UK. We've spent thousands on her in the last 5 years and she's been stored in...

Hi, I'm thinking about replacing my twin weber carb horizontal bar linkage with a bellcrank linkage like this one:- http://www.machine7.com/product.php?xProd=411" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The current setup seems to have too much play in it and the left hand carb has a...

Good stear, thanks mate, just PM'd him.

Hi, My engine bay door hinge pin has just snapped on one side. Had a look on vwheritage and just kampers but they don't seem to do one. Anybody know where I can get one from? Cheers Mike

Yeh, usually give it about quarter throttle until it starts to warm up then leave it idling with no throttle. If I don't give it a quarter for at least 30-60 seconds it dies. Its during that 30-60 seconds it seems to misfire. Take it its nothing to bother with then?! Mike

Its got weber twin carbs so no choke is fitted. Sorry, should have said in my original post! Mike

Hi, My van misfires when first started from cold, this continues until it starts to warm up. Once warm and when starting from warm it doesn't misfire. Is this worth investigating or is it 'normal'? If its worth looking at then what's likely to be the cause? Cheers Mike

Thats a neat idea, I'd not thought of doing it that way round, thanks!

My Westy used to have a US style hookup like the on on ebay here:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-TYPE-2-T2-BAY-WINDOW-AND-SPLITSCREEN-WESTFALIA-ELCTRIC-HOOK-UP-BODY-POINT-/271010455262?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f197b5ede" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Has...

Our '71 Westy parked up in Gloucestershire.

Well spotted - thanks Sam

Thanks for the replies fella's - only just realised earlybay.com wasn't emailing me when my posts were replied to! Fixed now. I'm still after the socket btw, like the one on the bus shown:- Mike

Tried your string technique on my van but it wont budge. Can hear the panel creaking a bit too when I pull so a bit nervous about pulling too hard! How much effort was it to get off and what was it attached with on the other side? Looks really nice with chrome badge by the way, good job!

I know your post was ages ago but don't suppose you've still got the electric inlet socket have you? Trying to get an original US spec one for my '71 Westy. ('US spec electric hook up flap and associated interior parts -offers over £25') Cheers Mike

Hi, I've got a '71 US Westfalia Bay window and want to replace the current blanking plate with the original US style metal electric external hookup socket. Anybody have one? Cheers Mike

I really like the stance of your vans, what did you lower them by and using what? I've decided to stay with stock wheels but maybe have the van lowered a little. At the moment I've got lower profile tyres on (185 65's), are they standard 185/80's you've got on? (Don't want to buy new white band...

Just wondering what you painted the wheels with and did you treat them with anything before? I was going to to put alloys on '71 Westy but thinking more about painting the stock wheels and buying some new chrome domes and rings.
