  4. Hopefully Roger, the owner of die schnecke bus will see this post.

    He has got one for his van, I'm sure it's not a Westy part, more like a devon bracket.

    If he doesn't see this, PM him.

    this is my set up, THE PART IS AN ORIGIONAL WESTFALIA PART prototype bay

    i did it to give more working area, its the spice rack table i picked up at a show somewhere, i also picked up the triangle somewhere too.

    i fitted it to my unit with some small hinges i got from b&q, the hinges for the triangle are from there too, i cut them to pieces to get the desired effect
    the plastic pad keeps it level with screws either side to stop the triangle moving and the table collapsing.

    why not make one, I MADE ONE TODAY as a trial,

    all you need is some steel bar from b&q, a tape a pencil a file and some common sence.

    file a groove where you want to bend it. not too deep.

    hey presto,EASY JOB TO DO might take a few goes to get it right but you got one for a few quids not rip off quids

    It's also a late westfalia part - continentals had 'em so you're ok chaps. ;)
     
  9. I like it when people go and get the bits and make things like this themselves instead of paying massive prices for originals


    More of it i say
