Bus has been neglected as new baby has taken over! How are we going to fit two car seats in the back 🤔😬. Finding some snippets of time. After driving to mot across London in the heatwave (to Terrys beetles where they have one of the Porsche engined Herbies from original film to ogle over)...

Some have just come up on Facebook in the UK there’s also a pair in the US on The Samba forum although they are pricey and would cost a bit to get to UK.

Hey thanks sorry manic week new baby. These look great will pm you about logistics

Long shot I know. Any pairs of ambulance fans out there?

Vote for Porsche from me, bus had Saab ones in it when we got it but they fitted horribly, and if you’re over 6ft really no room under steering wheel.

Thanks for comments all were very helpful. Found the blighter! As you said mike202 was the master fuse loose behind the kick panel, as is a rapidfit loom has a connector and a master fuse there. One tweak with a spanner and some wd40 and all normal again [emoji2357]. Sent from my iPhone using...

No had an auto electrician do it, kind of wish I’d braved it myself now. Will check that and the headlight switch thanks and trace the main wires too and from batt starter solenoid otherwise it’s back to the drawing board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for comments matts are great fit and quality highly recommend. Although before pride /showing off about matts always comes a fall [emoji2357]. Lost all electrics and engine stopped randomly whilst driving on a small test run today (trying to do a few before more adventurous trips over...

Suns out new madmatz cab matts kind of day [emoji2]. Might even finally get round to wiring up the Porsche seats as well after 4years of being fitted [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pressure output from mechanical pump will vary so you will need a pressure regulator as these carbs like to run at about 2.5psi. I run a mechanical pump with a malpassi pressure regulator. Some electric pumps can be set or give the correct pressure output so no need for regulator and less fuel...

Has anyone come up with a good solution for covering the engine air intakes to stop rain dropping into batteries etc? I know the front air vents can use cling film or similar which is what used to do on my dads old Land Rover. Our bus is parked on the street all year round and don’t tend to...

I have Weber 34s and the csp linkage on my 1641 single port. Have basically been fit and forget apart from usual servicing. Important to get fuel pressure into them right, and set up correctly from the get go. This article has a lot of useful info...

[emoji600] Boring parts police...For the ever paranoid like myself, wheel bolt antiloosen/tightness indicators just arrived like they have on big trucks [emoji23] From VWJim hide nicely behind hubcap so can give a quick visual check when out on road etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Running them with John Brown wheels Porsche 356 replicas painted white, they are 15” as that kit doesn’t work with 14”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used some graffiti remover from Halfords and wire wool then tiny bits of the green nitromoors carefully which is more mild, didn’t go that far on ours as was so much filler and ended up replacing a lot of metal. As previous comments it takes a loooong time. Comes off a layer at a time, think...

Thanks for the comments am super pleased how the Devon roof turned out, nearly lost faith as the rotten wood frame came off, as you say Ozziedog defiantly some interesting metal work with what looked like a blunt kitchen knife and the bathroom sealer and rust around the lip [emoji51]. Had a...

After an almost 2 year hiatus the bus is back from having the Devon roof refitted and new canvas also new headliner. Some other bits and bobs managed to find an og paint uncut dash to match and put some p356 wheels on. Next up time to fit some new interior panels and cushions then will be on...
