Hi everyone, This is up for sale as I've decided to stay with the 34mm ICT on my bus. It's been in my shed for years. I don't think it's ever been used on the road, as the air filter bases used on the hex linkage are still in un-opened bags. Includes two air filters, hex bar and drop links, a...

Hi folks, I've got 4 wheels and tyres for sale, from my '71 bay. Will fit any '71 onwards bay and also T3 (T25) vans. These are standard wheels 14" with standard commercial tyre sizes. The first two have tonnes of tread left - probably hardly used, although the tyres are oldish they felt...

Hi folks, I've decided to have a clearout of the shed and get rid of some of the bits I'm unlikely to use. First up, a 1600 longblock, AS code: It was running in a bug, and had an oil pressure gauge on a t-piece in the oil sender filler. The oil pressure gauge broke, resulting in a loss...

Hi folks, I've got this set of wheels and tyres suitable for a '71 onwards VW (5x112 stud pattern not the early wide 5). There are 4 wheels, each has been powdercoated in silver. They were all fitted with new Kumho (a good, mid-cost tyre, not bargain basement) all season tyres. Made my bus...

Anyone guess where we went? A group of 7 of us took 4 cars on holiday this year :) For anyone who hasn't taken their van on many holidays, go for it. :D My van behaved almost faultlessly the entire trip (one loose wheel about 1200miles in was the only hiccough!). And...

Hiya folks, Up for sale is a chrome table leg - perfect for the table on that camping interior. Bought from Just Kampers ages ago but never used due to a change of direction on my van. £15 plus P&P, collect from Bristol, or I drive a lot for work (I'm in Kent a bit for the next few weeks) :)...

I was quite surprised to notice that a rear speaker was an optional extra: Anyone know where this was fitted? :)

Hi folks, Up for sale today - chrome rear tinware, £30 from VWH - £10. Used but in good condition, no rust/pitting, could do with a polish. Also, the sliding door track rubber finishing piece that protects rear passengers from the metal upper sliding door track... I spent ages cleaning this...

So, where's the most adventurous place you've taken your camper? Last year, I took mine through Spain and France, including going across the Pyrenees twice through the mountain passes - got more than a mile above sea level. They say a picture paints a thousand words, so let's have your vans as...

Apologies for the non-car related for sale post, but this might suit someone on here :) Up for sale is (I believe) a Planet Junior seed planter. It's been in my garden a while and is not in working order, but makes a nice garden ornament if that's your kind of thing. :) These seem to sell for...

Hi folks, for sale is a pair of car ramps. Only used a couple of times. Not much more to say other than that they are a lovely shade of red. I'm in Bristol, but I often travel with work - think I'm going to be travelling to both Manchester and Newcastle in the next 3-4 weeks, so could...

A few people on here have enquired about the 5 speed conversion I've done on my bus, so here goes... It started with my frustration with the standard set of gear ratios. I was normally in 2nd gear by 5mph on the flat, 55mph was all I was comfortable doing on long journeys due to the high RPMs...

Passed first time, for the 6th year in a row :D The only low point was being asked for ID when buying fuel on the way home. I've owned my van nearly 8 years now :lol: Within a couple of hours of getting it home again... Ready for new gearbox tomorrow/weds, all being well :D

I'm clearing out my parents garage at the moment, so for sale are a few things I won't be using. First up, a JK table leg perfect for that camper interior. Includes chrome pole (70cm), base and top hat section. All you need is a piece of wood or a surfboard and you've got yourself a table...

Hi Folks, I've got a complete front disc brake setup from a late Bay window for sale. These are the uprated parts as originally fitted to August '72 onwards buses, but will fit onto the suspension arms of any bay window. This means you use the late calipers and pads on a '68-'70 to replace the...

Well, this morning I trundled into Detroit with my camera... The main road - Michigan Avenue - heading into Detroit. Michigan central station, Detroit. It was built in 1912-1913, although the upper floors were never completed or used. It was closed in January 1988 and has not been used...

Hi all, Has anyone ever replaced the clip on the clutch cable where it meets the pedal? :) I had one (on the left in the pic below) wear completely through on my van while we were on holiday in Spain... At the time, I bodged it with an M6 bolt and continued the journey. I assume the one that...

You changed your steering box oil? Might sound a daft question, but every so often I hear comments about how heavy the steering is. I've had my bus for 6 years, and the steering box always gave a slight clunk and the steering was fairly heavy, despite having good steering joints and greasing...

As listed in the title: First up, a Weber 32/36 Progressive carb, complete with manifold, filter, and (I think) support bracket (small brass bit pictured below). This is a genuine Weber carb, stating it is made in SPAIN, and I reckon it would clean up very nicely, there is no real...

Hi all, Looking for a set (4) of the padded trims that are attached to the bulkheads on walkthrough US microbuses. Anyone got a set at a sensible price? :) Thanks!
