T2 1973 Project LHD

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourselves' started by BarryDean, May 9, 2023.

  1. Currently on with a re-build finding bits each week.
    Just completed dash restoration and fitted new flexible joint, Steering column. Also came with a new loom from vwlooms so have had a go at fitting myself and main loom is in with all new back lights fitted and wired but will need an auto electrician at some point (Blackpool Area).
    Still need few bits:
    Engine support Bar
    Indicator Stalks (think going to use the repo ones)
    Head lights (LHD)
    Original ignition barrel
    Tail gate rubber.
    But plenty to be getting on with, just fitted new fuel tank&sender.

    Hi Barry,
    I guess you must know that black thing next to you jack is an engine support bar?
     
  7. Yes but for a Type 4 engine.

    Welcome from France Barry, did the bus come with a type 4? And as you live in the UK why do you want LHD headlights?
     
  12. The Lens are different for a LHD drive.

    Yes, but don't you want them to dip the correct way for driving on the left?

    I wonder if it really matters given bay headlight performance - can’t imagine we would blind anyone even on full beam
     
  15. Looks good .... Welcome :thumbsup:

    It matters or at least it should matter and it seems strange to me that someone would want lights dipping the wrong way.

  18. I've put brighter bulbs in mine only £6 best upgrade ever.
     
  19. I think OP means they are LHD and need changing...

    if not - I have a set of LHD headlights kicking around

    I probably misunderstood, if so I have some RHD headlights kicking around. :)
