Nice work.
Saw your bus at camper jam, but missed meeting you. Rain stopped play. :roll:

Thought I saw you arrive :msn4: . Did you have trailer? You disappeared into the main camping area, we were in the early bay bit, not many of us there. Next time...

 

[markevo30]

Tidy looking install! like the detail in the covered panel

Also can you post a link to that funky tent/awning in your first pic?, likey!

Cheers,
Liam.

That panel was the easy one. About an hour from start to finish. The steel plate in the engine bay took the time. I fabbed it from a piece of scrap lying around at work.

If you google 'Oztent' you'll find the UK distributor BOAB all the info's there. Best thing I ever bought, brilliant bit of kit. The wife and kids are camping in it as we speak and it (sort of) works as an awning. I'm going to get a couple of panels made up so it seals to the bus.

Yes we had a trailer. arrived saturday so missed the lineup. Sure we'll meet up soon
We did early bay camping last year and it was the same and the pitches were small, hence why we did general this time.

Nice bit of camping at Bala Lake.

Solar panel not performing as it should. Maybe I shouldn't have camped behind a tree.

Butty's Bits throttle kit fitted. Has made an improvement to the feel of the pedal and has also stopped the issue of the throttle arm (?) on the carb not fully returning when lifting off the pedal.

Just an observation but the rod from the pedal seems to be to the right of the hole through the floor, is this how they all are?



Not quite finished but you can see the position of the rod not being central

Looking great! what colour is your roof? :mrgreen:

Thanks easy. The roof and bumpers are cloud white (L581).

I think looking at your photo you need to rotate the rod so joint mounts from the other side should align it all correctly then . Balljoints on the ends should look away from each other if that makes sense .

Thanks Butty. So your saying i should mount the pedal balljoint on the other side of the tab on the pedal? This will certainly get the rod somewhere in the middle of the hole through the floor but then the two balljoints and the rod will be in slight 'Z' shape. I take it this would be ok?

 

[butty]

"Z" is how it should be . The joint may have moved in the post possibly . But Z is good .

Thanks for getting back to me Butty. Z was indeed good all sorted.

 

[butty]

Nice one , hope you like , and get the spring on as well .

 

[markevo30]

Yeah, it's great. The springs on too, it makes all the difference.

On wedding duty yesterday. Got the bride to the church just in time.

Check out the illustration the brides dad did for them. Brilliant!

Had great time at Busfest. Drank too much, spent too much, usual sort of stuff :mrgreen:

It was nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones.

The club camping was nicely tucked away in a corner but not too far from the main show - here's a few pics i took, not brilliant i'm afraid (but we all like a photo!).

Thanks for sharing the pics of Busfest with those of us from this side of the pond.

Great to meet you and yours too. It's not the kids wanting a dog i've got to worry about it's Katie wanting a white Westy!. It's the headroom apparently. Like she needs it the short a@#e!

Catch you again,

Mark
