Hi all, A friend and I have just installed a rack and pinion steering in my early bay. Some pics of the prototype "kit" and installation here: https://forum.bulli.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25532 It's a Opel/Vauxhaul early Astra/Cavalier rack and a T25 relay box plus a bunch of stuff...

Hi there, I know a few out there have done a rack and pinion conversion on an early bay. I have a T25 (T3) relay (bevel) box and a Cavalier/Astra manual rack (LHD) for my LHD bus. Since the Astra rack will be installed with the input shaft facing forward instead of aft, which reverses the...

Hi All Anyone here who has had success with a 1776 single port single Solex carb setup? I want to mildy upgrade my stock 1600SP to 1776 primarily for more torque. I want to go from the current 30 PICT 2 carb to either a rejetted 34 PICT 3 or an enlarged 34 (37 or 39). I'm planning to use this...

Hi all Do you agree that the bay window community is in dire need of some top quality reproduction parts? I think it's a shame that many parts are no longer available in OEM quality. We all have countless stories to tell. Isn't it time to do something about it? My idea is for VW clubs...

... and wouldn't do it again. Hi there, This post is just to confirm what most of you will already know: It's not generally a good idea to buy a bus online that you haven't inspected in person or have had inspected by an expert you trust. I did. And regret it. Bought a1969 Westy from Laurent...
