That fuel flap isn't like an earlybay, its higher, further back and more squared off. The 'earlier' lates were like that.

phil you'll have to bare with me. The old girls testing me at the minute, another long hot day on it, for it to break down while me and the boy was crusing ..... did 500yards :lol:
 
sorted that mate, had a weak spark. Fitted another new coil and an electronic ignition. I thought it might be low volts at the coil. took it all apart and back together, no air leaks, it started so did the timing and set the carb up. And it ran lovely. There is a few campsites with in a mile of where we live, so I said to arch, the suns shining doing you want to camp the night. We was well excited ... got round the corner and it broke down. He was gutted.
 
Photo bucket on my pc is shot so I'm doing it on my phone. So there's not a comment for each picture. I can't getting right so it's going to a garage to get it sorted then were off to Cornwall in it in a few weeks :) when we return the bus will be going up for sale

not losing faith mate, I love it. But the way things are going I'm just not gonna have time to use it. If its only used once or twice a year it might as well be with someone who will use it
 
That last pic of your lad sums it up :(

You know that when you sell it you will regret quite quickly!!
 
When these niggles are sorted Ash you won't sell it, we've all been there ;) did the coil come?
