Hi, just trying to do this at the minute and am struggling to understand how I can get the housing off that connectro to the rod in the tube. Maybe it's just pushed on but don't want to force anything. I tried to look at the link but nothing is coming up.

Removed the Gearbox today to figure out the sloppy gears whilst I am sorting the engine out. Found a cracked head on her. I think I found the issue. Plastic bush in the nose cone that the hockey stick locates. Massive amount of play and 50 years of Gunk. Ordered a new one along with a gasket...

I read this post last year and forgot save it. I have looked high and low for it. I am now the owner of the Bus Andy had X Over Dormobile progress pics. I have had an engine issue and have dropped it. It's now time to investigate the geat selection issues. I struggle to get any gears when the...

Yeah I have looked high and low from every trim specialist but nothing. It's odd that every record has gone. I guess most of the original workforce at Dormy have now gone too.

So have been busy doing the little bits on Lizzi. New rear Seat Belts, LED's, replacing the windscreen motor brushes, electronic ignition with new dizzy and a few more I can't think of. She has visited a few local shows as I have an oil light issue and a hot engine issue. Today I have been...

I know this isn't a great help but you could plrobably doctor some of this tile trim to have a nice top finish and have the cut finish lower part. It's the only 6mm trim I could find and as it's plastic it's probably going to be easy to slice with a blade. Good luck. The trim for the cupboards...

I am going to opt for the Securon Lap Belts. They have to be longer because the anchor points are further back than a normal rock and roll bed. The code is 217E which gives you upto 60 cm on the buckle and then 150 on the webbing side. If you have the original units in then the fixings behind...

Apologies, Life got in the way. I have been doing a few bits including Electronic Ignition, Fuel Lines, rear seat belt points added, purchased a new whole front from Busfest. Just need a competent VW Welder to get that on. But it's a big job as everything needs to keep it's alignment. Fixed the...

No worries, I know some Steering boxes are marked with a white pen mark for alignment when re installing. I was thinking I was missing something with Penrite. Happy New Year

I got some stuff from the guy in Northampton who refurbs them N2 Engineering. Guessing it might be the stuff if it's the go to gear.

What's a penrite. I have this to do early next year. I have the gasket and fluid ready.

I still have it on the to do list but the wheel maybe off soon as I need a new front support panel and want to tidy up the dashboard(spray and clean) whilst it's off. So will make sure it's fixed up when it goes on. Thanks

I did a little experiment on this subject. Before and after pictures then the video of my findings. The video is too big but the long and short of it was that £1 shop super glue was the best stuff. The other thing tested were Stormsure adhesive, double sided sticky tape which is a great quick...

When they are sitting there on site and you can use them🤙

This was my solution, mine were soo tight. These Sash clamps sorted it. Slowly slowly

Fair condition slight but of stitching required(see photo) But remember it's a 50 year old original tent. In its original storage bags. Collection only ( Coventry)

I think I will do this too when I am changing the oil. Are their specific seals for them?

So the. Here's the oil pressure, 950 lower reading, 2500 rpm second reading and 3000 3pm third reading. Probably not the best oil pressure guage. What I did notice was that the temp on the dipstick was less than the oil pressure guage input. See pics

I have a post in technical called Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed Could I have your view on it to help me get another year or so.

Sorry for the long post. I have a stock engine with Electronic Ignition and a new fuel pump after a recent failure. New oil and I have checked the oil pressue with a guage. The guage was showing 19lb on idle after driving to the guy who tested it for me which was only 2.5 miles away so the...
