Milly my 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe Vanilly my 1971 half a Beetle trailer

I've decided in fact, he can build me 2 turn key engines complete with fuel injection so I have a mint spare in stock ready to roll if I'm ever stuck. Its a real pain at the moment because I can't use the van. :-[

 

Sorry to hear of your troubles chris

Its horrible when things like this happen especially when it happens to someone so dedicated to there bus

I wish you well with the rebuild and refit

 

I was always told if the case is bust there then its a scraper as the heat from welding will require a line bore of the cam bores as a minimum and it will never be as strong .Build it with the best obtainable parts

 

Sorry to read about your engine mate
Hope your back running soon

 

Been thinking of one of these for a while, decided to bite the bullet today & buy one:-

 

I've also had my eye on one of these:-

Halfway down. As I only have one high seat bulkhead again I'd need to modify it. I'd also need it to be quick release so I can still swivel the front seat.

 

That middle seat will be hard to fit without the other bulkhead.
Where is the folding seat from? Looks like a good idea but wouldn't it negate the need of the swivel seat?

 

I like the idea and might steal it!! What do you reckon the difference between this one and the t4 one is?

Might have to do some measurements

 

Tudor Morgan has just been & taken Milly's engine to the hospital. He's thinking now of cutting out the piece that's broken from one of the other cases & welding it back into Milly's engine, like a kind of transplant. This is good news & means I get to keep the original engine.

 

try Stateside Tuning for a decent case or even a second opinion on welding ... welding a hole that size would warp the hell out of it

 

Ive got one of those style of fold down buddy seats to fit to my bus dude and also a seat extension that slots onto it so you have two buddy seats mine dont have the fancy adjustable rubber feet on the bottom though

I think there a great idea dude as they dont take up much space when not in use

Best of luck with your engine chris

 

I will be trial fitting the seat once ive a wooden floor layed so i get it sat at the correct height before i drill the bolt holes

I dont have any pics but for you dude as i know you like pics
i can dig the seats out of the shed and take some pics of them propped up in the bus
