Re: Dyeing/Painting Westy Poptop Flocking

Hi
I used mould and mildew cleaner by Astonish.
It worked a treat and gave perfect results on my westfalia.
My flock was very stained and came up new, sprayed on lots and left overnight then wiped with a clean dry cloth. :ok

Gear lever quick shift kits

Hi, I've been looking at T25 gear lever quick shift kits, has any club members fitted one, and would they recommend fitting a kit.
My gearshift is fine but I do fancy reducing the travel of the gearstick.
I would welcome any feedback. :ok

Re: Bumpers

My sympathies are with you , I also made the mistake of buying JK bumpers which rusted within weeks, it's only transit paint they said !
They don't mention that when you hand over you're hard earned wonga, nor is it mentioned anywhere on the JK web site or brochure .
Here ends my rant :evil:

Alternator Charging worries !

I'm slightly concerned that my T25 (1985 petrol) may not be charging correctly ? I use my van daily for work and whilst it never fails to start the volt meter fitted rarely goes over 12.5 volts. With lights, heater etc on the voltage holds at about 12.5 volts, am I correct in thinking that after sta...
