ware do you buy your panels?

[RICH-I-AM]

on my old bus i baught all the repair panels from Just Kampers and they were prety good (didnt like their door rubbers though )last week i baught a full set of deluxe window rubbers from custom and comercial(C&C).i was realy happy when talking to them that they knew their stuff and the next day my rubbers arived,brilliant. Due to my new found love of C&C i orderd about 130 quids worth of panels.The only thing is i wont find out how good they are till my bus is in the body shop in bits :? . the panels its having are front bulge(lower screen repair),front panel lower section and front xmember(the panel behind the front lower panel). Anyone used their stuff? or should i have used JK,better the devil you know and all that? :?:

I shouldn't worry they're pretty much all the same - from
some outfit called 'glokkenspiel' (or similar :wink: ) in Denmark.

Ocassionally people strike it lucky and get some NOS stuff that's
been lying around in VW garages - mostly you see this at shows or
or forums. Schofields in Glossop do make the odd few bits and pieces I think
and there is still some 'genuine' VW stuff but from Brazil..But as I say
I think most EB stuff is Danish.

TBH it all need bashin', bending and cutting to fit I think.

BTW Roughly where in Bedrock are you - I've not seen a 1970 deluxe about,
What colour ?

Near Bromham Road but the van is kept in a barn some miles away.

Johnny, I visited Schofields once to collect a second hand engine lid. While I was there they 'knocked-up' a slide door track cover for me. The set-up there looked like they could bend basic stuff (sills etc..) but no more, unless they sub-out some of the more exotic metalwork. The EB front arches I saw there were definately the Danish stuff.
