ahhaaa very interesting thanks for the reply , i have none of that gubbins ,just the cable core and the black sheathing and none of it is anchored at the back . i have trawled thru the usual suspects in the parts suppliers and no one nobody lists any of these bits other than the bellows piece . unle...

need some advice , a good few years ago I replaced the heater cables on my air cooled t25 I thought at the time there seemed to be bits missing at the rear where the cables meet the air flaps ,I ordered the cables and the fittings but the fittings didn't seem to fit anywhere , so just cobbled it tog...

I changed my butchered original steel one for a plastic one recently .on my ,80 devon camper . the steel one had been " modified " to fit a single weber carb many moons ago by a previous owner , now it has been replaced it has made a huge difference to the carriying capacity under the devo...

thanks for reply Rob , but you live and learn

suprize suprize , the window seal leaks oh what a suprize !! , i think i will use the old seal which is still in good nick and re seal with sikaflex .

as i now need to get the widow sorted ASAP .

ive just fitted a jk sliding window to my 1980 devon , its to replace the leaking original . the new window looks very nice and was very well packaged but , when I fitted it along with a new jk window seal it appears that the seal don't fit properly at the body corners , I decided the best course of...

watching this thread with great interest !!!!

hmm , just read all the info , and we have decided to give the existing "canvas " a good clean up and see what it looks like . got some "betterware " mould and mildew cleaner ,from clearing out parents garage . we,ll give that a go and hopefully it will save all the aggro . thank...

our t 25 was lined with corded carpet that has been slowly deteriorating for a long time , every time you brush it with your head or other body parts there would be clouds of dust , ( very nasty to inhale ) . as i have been renovating our van over the last 12 months , the offending crap was ripped o...

WE have jut had our devon camper resprayed the crowning glory on a year long body resto . im in the process of re fitting it out with loads of new parts ( money pit ) , the thing is the brown /cream canvas top now looks very scruffy . I have sourced a place in the north east called "proud to po...

Juat a thought I had a similar ish problem , cutting out when braking !! , it turned out to be the vacuum hoses from the carbs to the servo .

on an air cooled there is a tee piece of unequall bore size made of rubber , it was this that had perished .

replaced this and not a problem since .

im in the process of doing a full body resto on my t 25 devon . the roof hinges on mine were a bit iffy . I cut some reinforcing plates from 4 mm ally sheet and bonded these on to the inside of the fibre glass roof , drilled out the old rivets , and bolted the the whole lot back on with stainless do...

mine are steel bumpers !!!!! , you could mask off and spray the black line only .

if your bumpers are plastic based or fibre glass, you may be better using satin black plastic bumper spray , I did my grille and a few other odds and sods and also has a realy good finish .

paint the whole lot !!!! . will look like a proper job . simoniz tough black satin gives a very good tough long lasting finish .very durable stuff . ive used it on bike crank cases , my t25 bumpers , door handles ,door window posts , etc etc etc . just make sure you let it dry properly then cure for...

I got fed up looking for an analogue clock , all seemed to be way overpriced as they are now " retro " and therefore trendy .
you could scour the scrapyards , looking for old triumph dolomites etc .
