No - the rivets don't go all the way through, so the other end is inside the pop-top. I guess that's why they used rivets in the first place. I haven't drilled the old rivets out, so that's why I wondered if anyone else had done it, what they found. I'm worried about damaging the fiberglass, through...

Hi, I'm replacing the pop-top clips on my villa, which have become rusty, and I have some stainless ones to replace. It appears like I will have to drill out the old rivets, and put new ones in. I'm unsure if there is a metal plate inside the pop-top, and was wondering if I have to get some special ...

Hi guys, Thanks for all your comments so far. Here is a what it currently looks like: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-te6TcTgDS1g/VUHiai4eNyI/AAAAAAAACI4/vwAzh8R5mr4/w523-h697-no/IMG_20150430_065056.jpg I'm not sure if that's a Propex or not, but I do notice it has an "on/off" switch wh...

I think my gas heater thermostat has gone pop (its never worked since I bought the van) - and I need a new one. Its in a Holdsworth conversion, and I am hot sure of the make of heater (its a box under the van), but the thermostat doesn't click on anymore. I'd like to source a replacement, can anyone...

Thanks everyone - will update you once I finally get a service done - from someone :) Hello all, I ended up taking my bus to VooDooVW ( http://www.voodoovw.com/ ) - Rich and Gayle were very good. Helpful and friendly - with a nice feel about the place. I can recommend. I'm getting them to do some m...

Emporium every time. Ask yourself how many times you expect to replace them. Plus the JK ones are a pig to fit and never look right. You'll regret it every time you look at them. I know lots in that boat... I changed 1664's front windscreen rubber. He'll tell you, it didn't take long with a genuine...

Hello, Apologies if I'm not quite getting this. Or asking a stupid question. So based on the fact that I have a panel van conversion (Holdsworth Villa) - I would need either the JK Kit - which doesn't fit very well?

seldom have i seen more utter crap written, first forget looking to the seller to put right, bought as seen usually and if you dont know your way round a van then you should have taken advice :wink: so for the remedy then glass and seals removed and the rot that will be present making good and then...

Hello all, I'm suffering from the common front windscreen leak - as written about here: https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Bodywork_and_Glass_Footwell_leaks" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Plus my other seals are also leaking water. As I recently purchased the bus - I contacted the...

I took a Bay to Bershire Bugs a few years back to get a price for welding; I gave up asking after chasing him up for the third or fourth time and found a source of one of the bits for him. He was at Stonor with a T4 on display. There is another company Fox and Sons (0118 932 0444) very close to Ber...

That's odd! I'll try and find out more. Perhaps he saw my van and thought - that's it - never again!
