Westy water tank filler...

Hi, I have a westy water tank with a spigot sticking out for the filler hose...I recently bought a length of the hose brickwerks supply and was expecting the "thread" to match the one on the tank...is doesn't..and it leaks...also I have tried using silicone pipe on this and it still leaks....

Re: Syncro mirror & door "holes"

The LT bracket holes can be slotted to allow the base to bolt to a T3 door ( don't drill the door...it's a bad move) or..as a better solution change the bracket for a proper T3 one...while your at it trim a bit (about 3/4 " from memory) of the tube and re drill the hole for the pin and the top ...

Re: Whistle stops..how?

So by bolts you mean self tappers? I think I know what ian is referring to but not those..these need a proper metal fastener...maybe I will check ETKA..

Whistle stops..how?

What are they attached with as standard? I assume screws as getting a riveter in is not easy...but the holes in the pillar are bigger that the holes in the metal strips....so I assume the screw does actually go from the door side?

Re: VW Sharan petrol - electrical ghosts! Rapid response req'd

That's debatable...I prefer the diesel shazzer over all the other options as a doner...the inconvenience ecu is under the passenger seat area ...and are very susceptible to water ingress...I remember doing these on brand new ones delivered with puddles in them!
