Hello folks,
Well, we lasted only a month without a bay before the hunt for another one began!
On the hunt for a Westy, looking for a project that involves minimal to no welding, and ideally OG paint. Anyway, been to view our first one today to get an idea of what we can get for our money, but this has also thrown up a few questions.
So firstly, the front of the roof has a clip that I presume is to accept a toggle, although not sure why it would need one. The clip can be seen in the photo below, and I believe it to be in it's original position. However, it does not line up with the screws on the fibreglass section and is about an inch or so to one side. Can anyone shed some light?
Secondly, there are 3 holes on the inside of the roof, they can be seen just about, to the left of the hammock hinge. Again, they look OG - any idea what they're for?
Thirdly, there is a remote oil filter that you can see just above the distributor here. I should have had more of a root around at the time, but I've never seen one in this location - is it an aftermarket kit or something else?
And finally, the bus was started using a push button. The key went to position 2 as normal in the ignition barrel, however, was then started using a button tucked just under the dash. Is this normal for an American import or an addition due to a faulty barrel?
Appreciate any pointers!
