New for 2015 and hot off the press, NEW Westfalia Roof Hinges for forward hinged roofs, made in conjunction with Buttys Bits these are now available for sale and will be on display at our open day on Saturday and available for collection from Stanford Hall on Sunday.
These are made of Stainless Steel, come ready assembled with nylon bushings, mounting bolts and are available at £130 a pair.
Rear stay supports will be available very shortly to match the front hinges just waiting on the supply of springs, no need to use the old hinges and supports anymore when doing a full resto or wanting to replace the original hinges.

Sets of the cross bars are available seperately

Seen these in the flesh on Pete's bus last week. Top quality, nice bit of bling for the Wesy gang :D
 
Would you be able to supple me with the pins and star clips to attach the rear folding legs to the brackets fixed in to the body of the bus, I'm missing mine
Thanks
 
Can anyone tell me if the rear legs/roof supports are sided as my roof won't close all the way down (going to adjust front hinge position) but just noticed an 'R' scratched into the leg fitted on the Left hand side of the bus!
Thanks

No. Although they came in different lengths and positions depending on the year.

Thanks for the info, the bus is a 1970, but it has a replacement roof from a Continental so guessing it would be '73

Cheers [THUMBS UP SIGN]
 
A big ask but if I measured length of legs ( Im guessing they are original to the roof (which is a continental front hinging, so '73) would it be possilble to give me idea on measurement to where the bracket/legs should fit on the body of the bus
