Our 1971 early bay camper van, recently restored including a full repaint, engine rebuild 2000 miles ago and retrim in leather - £21,495 ono no px thank. situated in the midlands near M6 J3 The camper is a Dormobile conversion with the side tilting pop top. The top has been refurbished...

I would love you to post the progress on YouTube!

Wonderful project! I have an i3s on lease and we are restoring our 71 too. I can't wait to see your progress with the conversion. As regards trimming seats I would budget £1500 for a nice job in leather akin to the one on the i3 FB group. My brother in law is a trimmer.

"Next I have again a westy 3/4 rock and roll no cushions and no base £40 Ono" I may be interested in this if its still available. could you take a couple of pictures please?

I can attest to this, our rubber collar at the top was mushy and exploded in my face when trying a pressure bleed. luckily I wear glasses. I had to reengineer the connection with components I had around the place as "the rubbers were were beyond their useful life"

slight update. csp shifter fitted and now it's drivable!

haha not soon. leave it with me

Midlands dude, nr leicester

yes please. paypal?

Its just the distance putting me off, assuming this would be right for a '71?

right. One side was a spline lower than the other (Doh!) Theres no rubber on the bumpstop on either side. I've evened up by upping the lower one and that seems to have sorted the clonking for now. no evidence of driveshaft inteference so I guess there may be an option to go lower later on. That...

gonna get the bum up and have a look possibly tonight, or later this week/weekend, its a little higher than the pic as I've wound the grub screws up full, but still easily clonkable by bouncing on the rear (and driving of course). I reckon I need to rotate the plate by a spline. there's no...

Thanks @ozziedog, we have severe restrictions on garage door height otherwise I wouldnt be lowering at all right now. That said I intend to lift him up a bit anyway to try to lose the clonking. There were no stops on the original (swiss cheese) beam either.

is ours. more pics to follow :) thanks for the welcome

Hi, sorry I should've introduced myself here prior to posting previously. We bought our 1971 Dormy 2 months ago from the eBay. it needs some love but was owned by the last owner for 17 years! Plans are afoot to derust and sympathetically restore and modify her into our family camper, ideal for...

CE adjustable spring plates fitted, at the height in the photo, bouncing on the rear bumper elicits a distinct clonking of metal on metal, I intent to lift them up a spline, but does anyone know what hits first as you cannot really see anything when lying down looking underneath?

I'm starting a thread to track the slow restoration and modification of our 1971 dormobile. bought from eBay. we've already rugby into the height problem when trying to get it into the garage. so down it has to go. more to follow. it I'm thinking that the order will be. lowering engine...

What a great thread, read through the whole lot as we are embarking on our 71 dormy. Lowering first to fit it in the garage. Thanks for all your posts.

Are the spindles king pin or ball joint please?

well I found the answer. they knock into the end of the beam tubes. no one makes them anymore so it's use your own or find some used ones. I didn't feel comfortable trying to fit the arms without so made the best of a bad job. hope this helps someone else out...
