    What are these buddy seats from?

    I picked these up about a year ago expecting to use them in my bus but plans changed and they won’t fit now. I was told they were from a bus but I don’t know what type. I’m going to try shifting them on and it’d help to know. Any ideas? They seem to connect to each other side by side.

    Indicator stalk wires

    A couple of wires in the indicator controls have snapped off, unsurprisingly given how dry the solder is, and I wanted to double check I had this right before I soldered it back on. Does that look right? I’m going off what I can see of the broken joins and assuming you won’t have 2 grounds...

    VDO Glass

    Any ideas on how to remove the glass from the instrument cluster without smashing it? I was expecting the retaining ring at the back to be a twist a remove job but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Dormobile Roof Height

    Hello! Does anyone have the measurement for how much height a Dormy roof adds to a bus when it's down? I want to get one for mine but I'm not sure it would squeeze into the garage. Thanks!

    Brake Trouble

    This isn't bay specific but I took the old girl for a spin the other day and had a bit of an issue. It has discs up front and when I braked moderately hard, coming to a stop from 25mph, I got a loud bang and the cabin shook. It sounded as though it came from the nearside front. I thought...

    WANTED -Early passenger seat mounting bar

    Hello. This is a long shot since I don't expect these are just lying around.... I bought some 68 seats but the passenger side is missing the bar which holds it into the two brackets on the wheel tub. If anyone does inexplicably have one I really need it! Thanks.

    LHD seats in RHD bus

    Hello! I picked up some original seats to replace the custom fit Vauxhall ones that came with my bus but I've been a bit of a top hat and forgot to check which orientation they were. I haven't taken the current seats out yet and I think I need to refit the rails/fixtures anyway. Are there...

    Losing the rear seatbelts

    Hello! This might be a bit of a ramble with no real point but anyway... I've been working on my bus for about 18 months and it's gotten to the point where I need to look into putting the interior in. Which should be the fun part really. When I took the old interior out there were two lap belts...

    What's the dealio with this sliding door?

    I'm at the point where I need to start planning an interior now I've got most of the welding done and I've just noticed something weird with this door. There aren't any trim clip holes at the bottom. Are there meant to be? From what I can tell there should be. The current trim card was screwed...

    Cargo bay heater pipes

    Hello there! I've taken the floor up today and noticed these two pipes running from the engine bay which just seem to end. From seeing pictures of other bays am I right in thinking these are meant to be covered in some way or connected to something else? I'm not really sure what to call them...

    Roof Transplants and Money

    Hello! My bus used to be a tin top back in the day but it was cut open to fit a fibreglass sunroof some time in the last decade by a previous owner. I quite liked it at first but it's starting to wear on me a bit. And it leaks. So I was thinking of finding a donor roof and going back to its...

    Sliding Door Handle

    Hello! The previous owner of my bus did a few odd things to it, one being removing the sliding door handle, cutting out the recess and welding a flat metal plate in its place. It looks nice and neat but getting in the back is a bit tricky. Will the lack of that recess (depression, empty...

    Being realistic with a budget

    Hello! I've wanted a T2 for a good few years now and earlier this year I finally read up enough about avoiding engine bay fires to not be terrified by the idea of driving one. Unfortunately I'm not swimming in money so I've got a maximum budget of about £10,000 to play with. I've been to see a...
