Hey @Ben72Bay - Have you fitted the vent speakers yet? Noticed them popping up on Instagram quite a lot - Just wondering if they'd be suitable as the only speakers to use?

Apologies for the thread hijhack - Hey @ozziedog where did you get your cylinders from? Looking to buy some decent ones. Cheers, Steve

OK, now sorted the first query; So they are the same. For reference this post on thesamba helped: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=613991

JK relay... Bentley...

Hi, I've got an issue with my headlight flasher that I'm trying to work out - Looking for some advice; So, my bus is a December 69 US Microbus; When the original bakelite fusebox fell to pieces around 2016, I decided to get it rewired with a new loom and bladed fuse box from the Iain...

Could you not use a cut down plastic rawlplug? I fitted a few interior door cards/panels made of ply and rather than use the standard holes/clips I used some smaller screws with washers (which I think were from a split); To get the smaller screws to work, I just used some rawlplugs, which I...

Thanks @Ben72Bay @fallingoffalot @GrahamL I've now found the fairly recent thread from last year about this aswell... https://earlybay.com/threads/rock-and-roll-bed-1200-width.81379/#post-636651 So, apart from the upper Seat Belt Mount, is the lower one (mines a rounded edge triangle) also...

Hi, Anyone with a Microbus fitted a Rusty Lee bed? Just wondering how it works/clears the seat belt mounts when dropping it from seat to bed.

Hi, Apologies in advance if you already know most of this... In very simple terms, there are quite a few ways to lower a bus. Depending on the amount of lowering/drop you want to achieve, you can swap or modify original parts (beam, shocks, spindles, tyres, tubs etc). Each way comes with it's...

+1 Same for me @thejinx - I've got the empi trigger shifter, works great (think I also added a short-shift plate to it or something years ago) apart from this. Looked at it awhile back from just the handbrake POV and Bentley (10.1) says "...pull the brake handle out six clicks...", but that's...

Hi, So anyone with a Fire pit - Any recommendations on... 1) What brand/how much fuel you using to BBQ with? 2) What brand wood you using when just having it as a fire? Looking for something smokeless, as although I'll be in the van, others nearby will be slumming it in tents. Thanks, Steve

Going for some Volksworld circa-2000 vibes there!

Thanks for the suggestion. When we took the new CSP drum off, the grease looked OK; I'll add a photo below. No smell of burning. Also couldn't actually see any wearing on the backplate - just could feel it catching somewhere.

Some installation advice here... https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8800195

Yeah, I should have said it's a 69.

Hi, So I've just had some New CSP drum's fitted front and rear a couple of days ago. Also had new shoes and bearings fitted. Driving home all was good until about 20mins/20miles when I started hearing a screeching noise that just got louder and louder; Went out for another drive yesterday and...

Like @Clem in the past I always used a local "Old School Garage"... However, I needed front tyres replacing just before a planned trip away - Options were limited and despite hearing bad things about them, I reluctantly booked it into a local Kwik Fit. It turned out to be really good...

Thanks everyone for the info. I have previously made non-vw purchases from Europe & the US; It seemed to vary on what/when duty was applied. Anyway - Now sorted; I've bought both CSP Front/Rear drums from UK.

Hi, I've been looking to buy some CSP drums (Front and Rear) and checked out the usual UK stockists - Rear ones are around £350, fronts £340; When I checked directly with CSP in Germany they are 301.31 Euros posted... So, are my following calculations correct?? - If I add on the import...
