Thanks all for your advice. Much appreciated

Not to worry have sorted it myself.

Hi, I'm mounting the rear hubs on my 70 Bay. They are IRS hubs from an EarlyBay (wide5). I must've thrown away the outer spacers at disassembly. It's the part # 19 in this figure: http://www.ratwell.com/technical/Microfiche/t204000.gif Are these available anywhere? Think they have an outer...

Hi All, With Camper Mart 14 this Sunday I thought I would canvas who if any from EB were going. I am going with my partner, however my EB is far from finished so will be rocking up in my audi tdi estate. My best friend stu and his family are rocking up in his orange t4. We will be mooching...

Hi All, As my full resto continues apace (yes I have pics and a thread to start), I am looking at window seals for my Danbury. There are many companies out there offering kits and deals, however I have heard horror stories of poor quality rubber. An as men know poor quality rubber can lead to...

Well no luck at the bearing supplier. I am still in the dark as both JK and other vw specialists dont stock it :(

Hi Andy no its not the spacer I am affraid, it appears to be a grease seal that sits below the rubber bearing seal and is fairly thin. Not fat like the spacer. I shall dig out online from the US what me and my mate have found.

Thanks Andy, As I am finding out there is a lot that has been changed on my bus over the years. It has been off the road for 20 years so I am finding out the hard way that things have been adapted and changed in the past. Nothing is ever as straight forward with an early bay! Cheers, Pro

Hi all. I have been away from the site for a while as I continue my epic full rebuild of 'Peter', my 69 Danbury. I am after some help identifying a part, that I have misplaced whilst rebuild my rear wheel bearings. So I now need to find some one in the UK that sell these as all I can find after...

Just saw the post and it restores some faith in VW mechanics out there. Lots of people have been ripped off by them, it is nice to see that there are genuine people about. Muchos Respect

Today, well last night as I fell asleep posting this! 1. Took angle grinder to drivers side chassis rail. 2. Refited new rocker covers to engine. 3. Cleaned original tin ware ready to be laquered. Tonight is welding in new chassis rail and jacking points.....it is coming together slowly. Pro

Thanks Mark, Thanks Alex. Plenty to think about and hopefully it can be as painless as possible!

Hi all. Well the chassis and body panels are to be welded this week as the full rebuild continues. The 1.6 Sp has been rebuilt and am now looking at lowering the front. Have a limited budget as found more hidden bad repairs and filler than we first thought, so now my plan to get a red 9 design...

Thanks all. I have got a set of empi pipes for £10 so happy with that. May help the engine to breathe more. As for the noise, I will have to deal with that. Am hoping a decent stereo can counter that :D

Hi all. Have been away from the site for an age due to work. My Bus is currently been welded and i find myself with a engine rebuild kit to replace the gaskets, plugs and ht leads and give it a full service. I have read the posts on the forum regarding power/reliability and I am keen to...
