Club 80-90 Forums

Welcome to the delights of a Villa 1, I did the same job after getting fed up of beige dust and fibres everywhere, bald patches and discolouring. The pod over the bed can be removed there are several screws on the inside. Roof carpet was just glued to the metal, above the kitchen unit and the slider...

Will be looking to do a rear brake refurb on my 81 A/C, anyone out there know which parts are shared in common with a Late Bay Camper?
Cheers

It wasn't arguing about anything just an observation, have more important things to worry about. 
 

Not upset in the least, perhaps all I'm really saying is why post with images when there is an issue with them being seen?
I suspect a fair of users of this forum like to stick to browsers that they know and trust based on their own experience.

OK, I think the IMGUR issue is pretty much known, but not really answering the fact that you can’t see your images. Using TOR isn’t necessarily an option that everyone wants to take.

Thanks, I got a Brickwerks best quality, will replace seat belt mount panel as well, the door and shut lines are the key to aligning it then?

Wish you and your other half all the best on a rocky road, been there myself, you have to be selfish and look after those who are important

I did the same a while but drying off one headlamp in the oven, found the glass came away from the bowl, so maybe Hella/Bosch used a heat sensitive glue ??? Sods law the other wasn't shifting, but with glass off got it back to looking like new, with a polish with a soft duster. I think I siliconed t...

You can get a woven fabric type of  fibre glass, I have used it with resin and seems to give a smoother finish and can be built up to give a decent thickness

Mike

I think your best option is to contact a breakers or put up a wanted ad, given the age of these vans that any manufacturers still make suitable glass.
