I followed with great interest

I also went away and came back on a flatbed

Looks like it's going well. I'm only down the road from you and have the same job to do, shame I haven't got time to come down and draw round yours to cut mine!

Found an old picture to show the holes, there's lines of sealant around there so it looks like what I'm planning is what was done before.
So in a Westy the warm air goes into the living space? Great in the winter I reckon not so sure about the summer!

I have a Westy. I'm not familiar with other conversions if I'm honest but most or the older models work on the same principal until you get to the compressor type. On a westy fridge it has a vent running along the front / bottom of the fridge and an exit vent along the back and to the top left at t...

Fridges need ventilation so not sure where you got your info from (unless I'm misunderstanding you?) For a gas fridge you will need a flue that will exit the van, but I think that's what you are referring to when you say the van has holes cut in it? The van has large 2 sets of large holes covered w...

Hi all, I've finally made a start on my interior, I have somewhere to sleep! :D Next I'm making a start on the side units, someone has already cut some big holes in the side of the van for a 3 way fridge so the fridge position has been decided for me and I need to build the rest of it around this. I...

That is a very neat solution, thanks very much indeed for taking the time to get the pictures and explain it so thoroughly

OK, some for the Sharan seat https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/132616582@N02/20006620108/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/132616582@N02/19217022886/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/132616582@N0...

No piccies at present, but can take some this weekend maybe. I am actually quite proud of it,,, :lol: I also have a Sharan rear seat just behind the passenger seat, front or rear facing, with an integral lap belt, so have a van with a 3/4 rock and roll and seatbelts for 5. Dead proud of the Sharan ...

If you are wanting to fit 3point belts the mounting points originally used by VW are ok, but can require some work. Make sure you use spreader plates on the back of mountings, but the points on the engine bulkhead are handy enough (but you need long arms to breach under the wheel arch across to the...

CovKid wrote:The one on ebay looks like a copy of my design. I can't see what sort of mounting points are used though. Best one is the Rusty Lee bed - on offer for £200 at mo I think.

After a good look round this is the one I reckon I'm going for, didn't know they had an offer on though, cheers

bed in the link looks like it would just crumple in an accident, all the forwards loadings would pull in the centre of the bed at the shoulder loops, and you are relying on a single steel bar and a bit of flat sheet to resist it...er, no. That's what I was wondering, is it possible to use the origi...

My completely biased opinion would be to hunt around for a full width Westfalia Rock n Roll bed, nice original equipment then...Oh, try German eBay for Westy & Multivan stuff. Most sellers in my experience will ship to UK. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160114/b1be1aa26759f8a9c2adcd9680184f...

Hi, hopefully getting the van home this weekend finally. First job once I get started is to get a bed in there, I've been looking at this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141855818494 mainly because it's the only one I've seen with seat belts built in but also because they say the can make custom ones an...

Well no, you can't see them now. :D Basically you mount speaker pods on front bulkhead deep under the dash. Lot easier with dash out ofcourse in terms of drilling. And no, they're not muffled. Very interested in this, when you say speaker pods do you mean you've used speakers that have their own bo...
