I may need a brake servo on my 1971 1600 twin port and it appears that the Brazilian option is far cheaper than a direct replacement. Apparently, the Brazilian unit requires some drilling and fettling to fit. So ... Are these as good as the direct replacements? How much of a pain are they to...

I was going to refurbish the carburettor on my 1600 twin port with a refurb kit but saw that Machine 7 are fully refurbishing original Solex units. My spindle has slight play so thought this might be a better option - has anyone had experience of these? Are they as good as they sound? The cost...

Thinking of upgrading the exhaust on my 1971 T2 that has a 1600 twin port. Is it worth doing? Would I notice better performance going uphill? I don't want to go down the route of upgrading the engine or carbs.

I have a porch awning that I want to attach to my bus but it doesn’t have a awning channel. I wondered about using the figure of 8 connection rail but I’m concerned that it won’t hold the awning connector in a strong wind and, if it does, it’ll scratch up my rain channel paint. What’s...

I’m getting a vibration noise between 40 and 50 mph. I can’t tell what the revs are as I don’t have a rev counter. It seems to be coming from either in front of the drivers side dash (it’s a LHD) or the floor of the drivers side. I’ve secured and cable tied anything that I can on the underside...

Please delete if too far off topic. Has anyone had experience of a Mexican Beetle? Quality, performance, rustproofing, etc ... ?

Any EarlyBayers going to this? I've not been before and thought I'd give it a try. I think that car clubs get infield parking so, if we get a few going it would work out better for all.

I have 3 private messages that I have tried to send stuck in my outbox. Why are they not being sent? Is it because the recipient has not made enough posts to be able to PM?

Hi, what is the most common cause for the washer bottle losing pressure? Mine only lasts a day or so.

Hi, has anyone linked a buzzer to the indicators to give an audible warning? I have a habit of leaving on my 'self-cancelling' indicators ;-))

Ok, not exactly Early Bay but a friend of mine is looking to get a T4 or T5 and convert it into a camper. Anyone know of a reasonably priced pop top installer? A Google search suggests that they are £2.5k+ I thought I'd tap into the the Early Bay fountain of knowledge for him.

Hi, do we get discount at Just Aircooled?

I have a Portafold, folding caravan that weighs about 400KG loaded. Was wondering about towing this with my tin top Bay with a standard 1600 engine. Does towing cause the engine to overheat? Bit concerned also about going uphill !

I know a lot of Bay owners have Golfs as well so here goes ... Passenger front side light is noticeably dimmer than the driver side - new bulb or bad connection?

What's your favourite music for your happy trails in the Bay? 60's, 70's hits to match the era or something a bit more Glastonbury?

Not been before, do we need a code for Early Bay parking?

I would like a few opinions as to how many hours it would take for an experienced VW Camper mechanic to replace the drag link and 4 front ball joints on my 1971 Early Bay. Would appreciate your help.

Is there an Early Bay discount at NLA? Couldn't see it under 'Traders'.

Was considering the canvas front bunk bed that goes over the 2 cab seats. My LHD '71 Bay has these brackets but I don't have the canvas: http://www.justkampers.com/211-898-565-mounting-brackets-for-child-bunk-bed-j11825-vw-t2-bay-1967-1979.html If they are no longer available, would someone be...

I heard about the Cobb BBQ via another thread with Cobb owners raving about it. A few questions: - It's obviously good for main meals but can you use it for a 'fry-up' sort of meal? - Can it be used inside the bus or is it outside only? - Do you have to use new coals (cobbles) for each meal...
