Hi, I'm considering getting a hi-torque starter motor to try and improve starting performance (currently very slow to turnover, regardless of battery used, pants!). Does anyone have any recommendations of supplier and or type? Cheers.

Hiya My 1972 Devon interior is for sale on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180254382113 Starting price is £200, buy-it-now is £500. As it says, this is the complete interior, including cushions. It does have a few marks and scrapes, but I belive these could be made...

Of the top your head, does anyone know the size of the studs on the starter motor? I think it's 10mm but I'm not certain. I could go and measure it but I thought I'd just ask you guys first to save me having to jack the bus up. Ta :D

Where is the best place to get a steering box for a 72 crossover? A guy at a garage told me that only mega bug do them but they also said that they don't really rate them. They said that some boxes they get from them are ok and others are only just better than the one they've taken out. Anyone...

Silly question, but does the stop plate stay in when you replace the stock shifter with a new one, like an Empi Hurst style for example? Ta

I've got a pop-top and it seems to have some kind of black rubberised coating on it. So I was wondering what sort of thing do other people have as it needs replacing or recoating or whatever. The black looks a bit crap to be honest and I'd rather have a white roof if possible. Be grateful for...

Hi Everyone, I have a few of the new Schuco 1/87 Early Bay German Polizei models for sale. They have only just been released. They're available at the special price of £4.75 each (plus P&P). PM me if you're interested. Each model is about 5cm long and comes in a plastic display box. Payment...

We're looking for some high back seats for our bus. Any colour or condition is fine as we'll be getting them re-covered anyway. We bought some SAAB ones then decided we didn't like them so we've decided we are going to stick with VW but we'd like some high back ones. So if anyone has any or...

I'm after the rear tinware for my early 72 crossover. I'm getting the rest of it blasted and powder coated but if I got this one blasted it would fall apart. So I need a new one/decent old one. Anyone know what the differences are between pre and post 72. Would mine be the same as a late bay...

So we took our rather leaky engine out last week and then started to strip it down. So far we have found lots of oil, rust, sheared tinware screws in the head (actually I did that :oops: ),one of the exhaust studs has been partially hacksawed through, various nuts missing including on the...

Hi Guys, On our way to the North Devon final fling the flywheel oil seal finally rolled over and died after a few months of leaking (one of many oil leaks we've been chasing around). Thankfully we still made it to Woolacombe and slowly made it home again yesterday by putting in the oil faster...

I thought it would be a good idea to check my tyre pressures for the first time since we got the bus. I was a bit surprised, they all seem really high to me. Front NS 40 Front OS 38 Rear NS 36 Rear OS 38 Anyone know what the correct pressures are? (sorry if this is a muppet question but I'm a...

Hi, My recently purchased bay hasn't got any door seals so I'm going to fit some this weekend. What adhesive would anyone recommend? I haven't fitted any seals before so I haven't a clue about glue etc. Also if you know any things I should watch out for or any tips you may have I'd be very...

Hey guys, Here's my lovely new bay. Only had it a few weeks. We've done a few little things so far but nothing major. The plan for this weekend is to sort out a few things that need replacing or fitting, like a new aerial, gear stick, exhaust, door seals (it doesn't actually have any doors...
