Hi. So my bus is now back to stock height - And I was going for largest tyres on R15 slot mags. Posted a thread a few months back, thanks for all the replies. However, had issues sourcing these & now I'm looking at using my stock original wide R14 steels. Like the look of the BF Goodrich's...

Hi, Original Loom taken out of my 1969 US bay microbus. The good/but mostly bad: - It's not reusable. - It's about 90% complete but as you can see in the pictures it's been chopped/cut in lots of places to remove it from the van. - No fuse box, switches or relays; not all, but some wiring...

Hi, I'm looking to get my bus back to stock height - Been searching the usual suppliers for Original drum spindles and stock spring plates, but to no avail; All the spindles now seem to be dropped and the spring plates adjustable. Anyone know if they are available or recently bought these...

Hi, Currently got Recaros fitted, which are nice but thinking about a change. Was looking at other options and wondering about T25/T3 ones with arm rests. Read a few posts on samba etc, obviously can't just swap the stock seats over as the runners are different to an early bay (but maybe not...

Hi, Looking into replacing the fuel hose that goes from the tank to through the tinware. Will add pictures later, but have the following queries... 1) What was the stock route of the fuel hose from the tank to tinware? 2) Were there originally clips/clamps on the bodywork that secured the...

Evening, Tried starting bus and starter makes a single click, followed by a very high pitched continuous screech when the key is turned. Engine doesn't turn over; Didn't have a lot of time this evening but I've tried following: - Checked battery (7 years old, usually on trickle charge), reads...

Hi, I'm awaiting confirmation in next few days of a crew/volunteer role for next week; I've normally gone as a punter having stayed in both east and west campervan fields in the past. Have thought about travelling there in my bus but I don't have a campervan pass. 1) is it safe to leave it...

Hi, I used to buy the fuel hose bundle deal replacement kit (plastic mahle(?) filter, clips, hose) from Machine7, who've now gone out of business; Prior to this seem to remember using other few companies and ended up with some naff thin cheap plastic fuel filters and poor quality looking hose...

Evening, Some background... Driving home the other night noticed my generator light dimly lit. Was worse with wipers going. Then yesterday bus started with sharp wine/screech noise from engine bay. G light still dim. Checked it over once it was running but no other sounds. Then last night start...

Just got some new R9 fuel hose from machine7 to replace my current hose. Looks like the Fuel hose on my bus is 5.6mm to the pump and 8mm to the Twin Carbs. From a bit of searching am I right in thinking the 8mm from the manual pump to carb is intentionally to reduce the pressure at the carb...

Looking to replace my fuel lines on my 69/70 bus. Previous owner fitted a 2110 engine with twin Weber 44 idfs, and has a breather box fitted on the firewall. Access behind fan is proving tricky!! So, fuel line currently runs from my standard fuel pump, straight between the inlet manifold of...

Always liked Ultra VW as was just a bit different. Guess it's a sign of the times... http://ultravw.co.uk/inside-winter-2018-issue-ultra-vw/

Hi, Just had my accelerator cable snap at the hook bit where it attaches to the pedal linkage. Access is a bit tight - Haven't got much room around sides of van - and it backs onto a drive with steepish incline. But can get under front. So, fitting a new cable... I've read a few posts about...

Just had my Bay serviced today at Aircooled Performance/KC's Hotrod and Race Shop, in Billingham. Top job, nice people and would highly recommend them for any engine/service work if you are based around North East/Yorkshire. They managed to fit me in at short notice despite all the work...

Hi, Is there a standard or size for rubber oil hose used on full flow systems? Just had the hose from the case to my remote cooler split (looks like it had been rubbing against the heat exchanger) and looking to order a replacement. I know the existing hose fitted by previous owner is about...

£45 posted. Bushes could do with replacing. Will add more photos later.

Bought this about 6 months ago, just noticed there's a tiny hole in the base. Does this mean it's knackered?
