Hi
Here at midland early bay we are always looking to add extra value and look for gaps in the marketplace or offerings that will suit earlybay owners. We've been working on a few and are now in a position to offer these to gauge interest in whether its worth persueing to full production on these so looking for some expressions of interest at this stage.
All of these products are made here in the UK and are not imported goods.
Dampers for Dropped Spindle Buses
Two offerings here
1. An adaptor kit for the stock bugpack coilovers that allows shorter springs to be fitted and therefore not raising the height of the bus back up. Kit consists of 4 machined adapters (2 for each damper) and 2 x competition coil springs) These have been extensively tested on Monty and worked really well with a good ride and no bottoming out. Kit price of £140.00.
2. New Fully adjustable Gas Dampers with fully adjustable spring plates and coil springs, the next stage on from above and not cheap. These again have been tested on Monty and allow you to adjust the height and damping. Price for 2 new dampers with new coil springs. Final price tbc and quantity dependent but in the region of £225 for the pair.
Rear Seatbelt Upper Mounts (Coat hangers)
Designed to fit to the standard rear rail mount but enables the fixing of a top mount similar to front seat belt set up instead of the naff side on units available. Top mount is approx 300mm above existing mounting below the glass. mounts go down to engine cover floor and have a bracing piece ensuring they do not move during braking etc. These units also enable the fixing of seat belts in panel vans without the captive nuts in place (will require welding or bolting to the vehicle) £135 a pair, £70 each
(suitable seatbelts can be supplied at extra cost)
Beetle Gearbox into a Bay conversion kit
Allows the mounting of a 1302/3 gearbox into a bay window bus for more relaxed cruising. Kit consists of Adapter bracket for gearbox, Extension piece for Gear Linkage, Extn piece for Clutch cable and new clutch cable. Instructions on how to fit it.
excludes the gearbox £175 each for complete kit
If any of these are of interest can you please express interest below, thank you for you time

Rear Seat Belt Mounts

. I would love a pair of rear seat belt mounts for my bus. I`ve been humming and hahing for ages about what to do in the back and these will sort the issues for me lovely. I take it that the bracing bar that you mentioned is where you`ve triangulated it. I worked out for safety reasons it had to be 220mm plus higher than standard for the top mount, if you`re close ish to 290 - 300mm then that`s fantastic. Forget the safety issues this promotes, with that height , the comfort will be improved dramatically and that`s one of the reasons I don`t let littleuns in the back, because the belts were so uncomfortable they used to either take them off :shock: or slide one shoulder out which is just as bad. I`ll stop whittering on now :lol: :lol: And I`d like to order a set for my bus. Please extend payment details to me as required and forget about the interest stuff,, just send me / make me / get me a set ASAP. I think you`ll be sending these all over the globe as the word leaks out
