I've just been having a nose at the Dubfreeze website and It looks like there's a great selection of traders attending again this year so i'll be going to try and pick up a bargain or two. :msn4: There's also a section on there for club line ups. I was wondering if there is an Early Bay club...

Does anyone know where to buy decent quality replacement bushes for the gear linkage. I replaced mine this time last year with a set from JK and the very front one under the cab is completely shot already. Thanks, Mark

I'm interested in a set of 6 x 15 American Eagle Fuchs reps that are for sale at the moment but i don't know much about them. Does anyone know if they're a good quality replica? They certainly look the part. I can't see any for sale new so i'm assuming they aren't made any more but how old might...

This one's doing my head in a bit. I've recently replaced the front shoes, cylinders and flexi hoses and I've also had a remote servo fitted so performance is good. Out the back I've had new cylinders and shoes fitted. So I thought I'd just got my brakes in tip top condition but on the way to...

I'm after a set of Butty's front and rear wheel adapters so I can fit some Fuchs on my '69. They seem to be the best quality but he's stopped making them so getting some second hand is my only hope. Thanks, Mark Fronts Rears

Hi all, I'm gong to have a look at a '64 11 window split this weekend (don't worry the Bay isn't going anywhere). At some point in it's life the non walk through bulkhead has been cut out. If i was to buy the bus i'd want to put one back in. Does anyone know if they are easy to find and where i...

Hi, I'm looking at gong back to a stock oil bath air filter because of poor running so i need some bits that i'm missing. As the title says i need a stove pipe and rear tinware with the third large hole in for the warm air pipe. Thanks, Mark

My standard 1600sp engine runs great once the revs rise but has a lumpy tick over and stalls at junctions. After a bit of investigating it turns out to be carb icing. I've got a crappy pancake filter fitted at the moment which I'd like to replace with an oil bath type with a warm air pipe to...

After a minor engine strip (top ends) and clean up i've been suffering with some poor running issues. The engine is a single port 1600 fitted with the dreaded Bocar carb and a 009 with electronic ignition. I've set the valve clearances and the plug gaps and timed it at 30 BTDC. I've set up the...

I want to add a bit of oomph to my stereo and i've been looking at getting one of those slimline/under seat powered subs as i haven't got space for a separate amp and boxed sub. Does anyone know if they're any good or have any recommendations? Thanks, Mark

I bought a VW Jim remote servo in the summer and am just getting round to fitting it. I've had a good look around underneath the van and can't see where to fit it. In front of the front chassis cross member seems the most logical but there are too many things in the way, cables, conduit etc. and...

I've just been setting the tappets after a top end strip down and everything was going well until the very last tappet. On no. 4 i've wound out the screw as far it will go and there's no gap at all, let alone for the feeler gauge. I loosened the rocker assembly and as soon as i did a gap...

If you like a bit of acoustic music and bay window buses then check out Austin to Boston on Netflix. It's got Ben Howard, some geezer from the Mumfords and some girls called The Staves travelling 4000 miles round the States in 5 buses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just taken the heads off to replace all the pushrod tubes because of leaks and this is what I've found. There's a bit of oil in the bores, is this excessive? Do the heads look ok? This is the first time I've done this so I'm not sure what it should look like. Thanks, Mark...

I'm in the process of trying to sort out some oil leaks two of which are coming from the push rod tube seals. I intend taking off the heads to inspect and was wondering if i can replace just the leaking tubes and seals or do i have to replace all eight? Thanks, Mark

Hi, I've got my engine out at the moment to give it a tidy up and was wondering what type of paint has been used successfully for the carb manifold, heat exchangers and exhaust. All parts are stock for a 1600sp. Thanks, Mark

Hi, I'm in the process of tidying up my engine and I am missing the two covers that fit behind the pre heating pipe from the exhaust to the carb manifold. Has anyone got any? My engine is a standard 1600sp, i'm not sure if that makes a difference. thanks, Mark

I'm toying with the idea of buying a 1970 Westfalia. The one that i'm looking at only has a single bunk up top. Is it possible to have two bunks in the pop top or even convert it to a later style solid double 'bed'? Thanks, Mark

Sorry if i'm going over old ground here but i'm just about to buy some sound deadening and like the look of the kit from Noisekiller.I would like to hear from someone who has fitted the Noisekiller front and rear kit to their van. Is it any good? Happy with the materials used? I know that there...
