Hi I used http://www.safetybeltservices.co.uk/ to make up a seat belt for me, I believe they make the ones that Brickwerk sale. They make them up to any measurements. They didn't provide the mounting points which I got separately, I think form Ebay.

 

I tired to go down the ford focus isofix route but it didn't work for two reasons.  1st I have a rusty lee bed and the seat fold was too far form the bulkhead for it work  2nd the height of the seat meant the isofix base leg would not reach the floor.  In the end we went down the brickwerks kit rout...

Does look like its probably not worth it!

Thanks for the links.

So after running the van for about 100 miles I changed the oil again and flushed it out with about 1 litre. It did look like there were bits of the tubing in the old oil, but impossible to tell if it all came out. I didn't notice any change in the van when driving. Thanks again everyone for the help...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever used one of these before? Or adapted a compressor/bike pump or similar? https://campervanculture.com/shop/vw-t25-t3-vanagon-gowesty-cooling-system-pressurisation-pump-kit/ Looks like there are various home made things here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/vi...

Thanks for the info- very detailed!

For reasons I can't remember, the general advice I seem to think is not to use stainless exhaust studs

Does anyone no the reason/s for not using stainless exhaust studs?

Thanks again for all your help and advice.

Thanks for your help! In terms of replacement nuts and studs where is the best place to go are these two suitable and if there is much difference between the two? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252682340788 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Camper-T2-T3-T4-T25-Stainless-Steel-Exhaust-Manifold-Studs-and-Copp...

Hi, I don't know anything about suspension upgrades but use this for parts diagrams but there may be better sources: https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/typ+ ... 2/1988-78/

Hi again I took some photos of the exhaust yesterday, the nuts look pretty bad and it looks like on some the stud/nut has been replaced by a bolt, any comments/ advice would be great, thanks again. Sorry there are quite a few to me they all look pretty bad! and I am a bit confused by the ones that l...

I had a go at filling it and draining and having a look with an old coat hanger but didn't find anything. I plan on running it for about 100 miles then changing the oil again. Will let you know if I find anything.

Thanks again for your help.
