Congratulations on the news, we found the van fantastic when our two kids were babies for feeding, changing, sleeping etc (still do). We've got a caravelle so already have 2 3 point belts in the back. I remember Brickwerks had a kit with belts and mounting plate. For isofix there are a few threads a...

Great thread and cracking work getting that fettled and installed.

Jed did a useful youtube for an eber install a few years ago which I followed.

Brill, will have another check of the pipe prior to feeding in the new cable. I've not felt it being sticky and was pretty responsive...right up until I eased off down a hill and reapplied the power going up the other side. Pedal to the floor and the van eased to a stop :/

Would I be correct in assuming that the throttle cable and sleeve sits inside a larger piece of conduit from the pedal to the rear cross member where it meets the conduit which comes with the new cable?
