Hey all, has anyone fitted the above to their bus? I bought my kit about 10 years ago and only just got round to fitting it... but it doesn't fit. I seem to remember the rear hub carrier needed to be machined but I didn't get mine done and would love to chat to anyone that's done this conversion.

Hey all, So I've just realised I have two sets of rear 1/4 light window rubbers. The oldest new set is from C&C and the newest set made by Wolfsburg West. Has anyone got an idea of which ones I should fit? Both sets are really nicely made. The C&C ones are definitely a more rigid rubber but...

Van Shelter frame for sale £50 Anyone need a frame for a bus shelter? I have one for sale because I no longer need it. It's one of the Protect ones, the cover has long since departed this world but the frame is good. I've completely dismantled it, it's in pretty good condition although...

Hi all, Bit of a long shot this. I'm after a single EMPI, 5 spoke (or a set). Must be 112 PCD fitment and have an offset of ET20 I was originally in a rush for this but that's not the case now. I would still like to get hold of the above however. Any offers gang?

Hi All, I've just replaced the rear bearings (inner and outer) on my '71 but I'm not sure on the fit. When I removed the old bearings the inners and their replacements seem the same. The outers are not however. The original outer bearings that were fitted came with a pressed steel cage that...

Hi all, Looking for a couple (2) of original steel wheels in any reasonable condition. With tyres would be a bonus but not essential. Need them to put on my bus while I move house. Thanks

OK so I have almost finished the re-wire on my bus. One of the main reasons for doing the re-wire was because of a very scary moment one night. I was driving along a country road and switched the headlights from dipped to main beam, no problems. About 10 seconds later as I entered a really...

Hi all, I'm re-posting these items as I have now sold my EMPI rims and have updated this thread. Open to all sensible offers (and those that aren't). I still really need the space and want to get rid of all of this stuff, it's all bulky and in the way! Most of it will cost more to send than the...

Hi all, I want to go for a set of Adjustable Rear Spring plates and wondered what everyones thoughts where with regard to the two brands I'm looking at: Creative Engineering OR Transporterhaus Is there any difference? Is one made differently? What is the ease of fit, if any? And, most...

OK, firstly not sure if this should be in Technical or here as it covers both really. I'm looking at buying some new rims, the front suspension will end up being full wishbone from Red9 with mid-low setup and rear will be their rear disc brake conversion. The rims in question are either Flat 4...

Hi everyone, I'm after a '71 steering wheel. I'm having a steering boss adapted for me and need the OG wheel. Mine came off my bus 10+ years ago and no idea where it is :roll: . The wheel can be in any condition but the fixing part (ie the splined hole) has to be good/ perfect. Not looking to...

Hi people, Does anyone have a striker plate and shim for a RHD sliding door for sale? It's the one that fits the front latch mech. Stupidly had one of each and sold them before I realised I needed them DOH :? Here's a pic of what I'm after. Thanks

OK, I'm not insane, all will become clear :!: I'm picking up the rear and middle seats for a microbus and want to know if I'll get them in the back of a Ford Focus with the seats down. Any thoughts :?: :idea:

I think these may be hens teeth. :? I'm after the front internal locking mechanism (the section that has the small locking lever as part of it). I've got one for a panel van that has no lock lever on the inside and being a microbus I'd like one. anyone? Thanks peeps.

Hi everyone, wondered what everyone thought about the sound deadening in the engine bay of out beloved buses. Being extremely paranoid of engine fires I have wondered if it is worth removing the hardboard and the insulation above and use something more modern and fireproof as a replacement. As...

Does anyone know how VW routed the cabling for the rear window de-mist circuit. I'm good with the route to the rear end (!) but not sure what to do once I'm there. :lol:

I'm clearing this lot out as I need the space, this list is long! Prices are NOT set in stone but do not include postage. Anybody who does not like the look of a price, haggle! I really want this lot gone but am loathed to chuck it out. Thanks for looking. And a quick thanks to all those who...

Help, can anyone take a picture of their front interior lock mechanism if you have a RHD '71 (the interior piece that the handle fits in to). Or does anyone know what the correct mechanism should be. Mine does not have an internal lock, but does have 2 cables, the striker plate looks different...

Hi all, after the mice ate and defecated all over my pristine white headlining resulting in me cutting it out I've got to the point of replacement. Has anyone out there got a dark or black headlining in their bus? Obviously I know it's going to make things feel smaller but just by how much. All...
