I've decided to get a supercharger kit for mine, on a fresh 1600. Ive spoken to a few bus owners with this setup, and they say its great. You'll still be looking at about 60-65 on the motorway due to gearbox ratio, but that's plenty in my book. I was thinking about a freeway flyer diff to drop...

Ive used the fat cork gaskets and Hylomar, but they still leak. I've got the clip on ally covers, which I think may be the issue because you have to use bails supplied with the covers, but Im not so sure they work properly. I've been thinking about bolt on covers, but have heard they leak from...

Well keep us posted, Id like some wide 5's on my 71, and although I have a 5 stud drum setup, seems a bit backwards putting drums on...

Did you get any further with this? Looking at doing the same thing, but with a Heritage copy, great price. From what I understand, the splines are the same, but you need to remove some from the back of the wheel, and im not sure if the indicator stalks will be too close to the wheel...

If you can add me to the 2nd, or 3rd, that would be great

mmm, interesting...

Also, for those that are going, i've been told that the m25/A3 junction will be closed 16th and 17th. Traffic maybe rather busy

Not sure where you are John, but I can recommend The Farnborough VW Center (Ask for Andy) and E's Autos (ask for Ian) for a rebuilt engine. A proper rebuilt engine will cost more than an online supplied engine from one of the main parts suppliers, and there are very good reasons for it...

As many have said, It sounds like your camper started as a van. I think the 'spikey rail' is available to buy

So, the thermostat and vents allow the engine to warm up when its cold, blocking air to the barrels/heads until the stat expands and the flaps open, allowing air to pass over the heads and barrels, as I suspect you already know. Personally, I kept them all in our buggy engine, mainly because at...

I'll be fitting the same carbs to my bus, so just to clarify, there is now one balance pipe between both carbs, and a separate take off for the vacuum on the left carb, is that into the manifold? Any chance of a pic?

do you still have spare tyre rubbers? If so, how many do I need ( i have none) and would you post? Thanks

Hi , just looking at this as its a to do job on my sunroof/ex westy bus. Looks like yours is a sunroof bus, did you pit the trim around the hole? On mine it looks like there's not enough room for the roof to shut with the trim on

Watch out for flappy covers wearing the paint of the edge of the rain gutters..

I used a small spacers on the bottom of mine, worked fine. i seem to remember the GAZ eye isnt as wide as a stock shock, so it gets pulled over towards the bump stop when you do the nut up. I didnt like the shocks, and have gone to uprated stockers from jk, much nicer ride. I had to modify my...

just found this as well, in case anyone else is looking https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=10079401#10079401

stock have a rubber mat type piece that's formed to fit around the seat base and in that recess and cover it all up...

Thanks all. Dont suppose that bottom piece is available anywhere? My van was a shell when I got it, so none of this was in there. The rivets, are they pop rivets, so there's about 5mm or so sticking out the back behind the seat? And what are the metal strips for? I looked at a bus at...

Ive managed to get hold of the padded top and sides for my walk thru, and have tmi panels to go on, but how does all this attach? From what I have found, there are metal strips behind the seat that are screwed thru to hold the pads on to the metal bulkhead, but what about the panel, there's no...
