I belive the Dormobile conversions had chrome script just below the mirrors on the front doors - anyone got pics for me for correct location?

I'm not sure about chrome scripts, but check out Rich Oakley's very original Dormobile here.

My mate has a early Dormobile with chrome scripts on the front doors:

I also think I recall him telling me that one was missing and he bought a brand new replacement from http://www.dormobile.co.uk Tel 44 (0)1794 830831
Worth a try if you need some?

The scripts changed in August 70, from the 'Dormobile' badge to the 'D4/6' badge.

Ah! thats interesting. when I bought this Dormy of its owner from new, he said it had 'Dormobile' just under the front mirrors, although after having them nicked years ago, he had the holes filled and sprayed over later on.
like to get them replaced for its return to glory!
SO what did 4/6 refer to , the layout? where there other versons on a VW?

I have what you are talking about on my van.
a close up
Both sides
You can get new infills through http://www.dormobile.co.uk,not sure about the chrome part.
I plan to refurbish my doors and i will get the chrome redone and then fit the new infills.

Just an update in case anyone funds this on a search....
I called Jim at Domobile & they do not have any build records at all.however he tells me the early bays had the cab door script like late splits for a short time,then they went for the plastic chrome badge with 'dormobile' insert.
Therefore that's what fitted.....

My dormobile came with that badge in a bag I did think it was for the rear tailgate
Looks like I will have to get another one
