Re: cardboard wind baffles

Lads I'm flabbergasted once again by the power of the internet, and what happens when you ask the right question to the right people.

Re: cardboard wind baffles

so.... you guys reckon they have no effect on the cab noise / resonance?
few posts ive read seem to say otherwise, maybe some other OCD road noise types can chip in with some more opinions?


Either way id love to see some pics of a complete set in place, or laid out to see the original shapes..

Hi there, Just wondering where I could get measurements for the cardboard type wind deflectors / baffles that go around the front radiator. (Designed to cut down wind noise in the cab i think) Mine are falling apart (late T3 westy) and I think this is a major cause of the noise in the cab, would lik...

Re: leaky westy hightop roof

Pulled the two inner seals and plastic covers off the skylights at the weekend and everything seemed nice and dry up there, fiberglass all dry, wood not rotten, only a minor bit of rust on the screws.. Didn't disturb the outer seal as I assume if it was leaking up there the fiberglass and wood would...

Re: leaky westy hightop roof

I think the rust looks worse in the pics than it actually is, seems to be just surface rust (i hope) never can tell till you go grinding! Due to the "westy lean" the left of the van sits is a bit lower than the right and most of the water comes in that side. Hence more rust on the left I a...

Re: westfalia high top bed

hi guys, thread resurrection! just went back attacking at this there the other day, I cut a board to size and took out the nasty shelves that the previous owner had fitted.
