Westy Cab bunk and brackets doing my head in....

I cant see your pics (Im at work) ... are your poles the square ones?

68/9 should be the black round poles and are a different length

the poles are black and round [bar the end bits of course!]

do you mean different lengths to each other or different from others poles?

Ok, the same as mine. I've found mine will only fit on way out of the possible four, so try all ways ? I mark one pole so I know but even then it's always a tight fit! It's a nause when you're tired!

cheers clem

the back poles would never fit - they are 4-5mm too short and both poles are the same
the fronts will fit but I have to get weird with the front rubber using a flat blade screwdriver and moving the rubber out of the way and slotting the poles from the bottom/underneath the bracket..to get it in from over the top of the bracket I think due to the top screw protruding it seems around 3-4mm too long....

I wanted to sort this before tomorrow nights impromptu camping....

Hi dubdubz

If you look at the photo of my front bracket which I posted and yours, it looks like your windscreen seal on yours comes across more towards the bracket, hence your having problems fitting the poles into the brackets. I guessing by the condition of yours its a new one, maybe there's more rubber on the inside than on the OG one. (As mines all perished and cracked its probably OG)

As far as the rear pole is concerned I had the same problem and put it down to middle age spread and packed the brackets out with washers, took 5 minutes and I know it might not the best long term solution but for the time being I dont have to worry about it.

Happy camping this weekend!
