They are o.e. Mirrors. But only available from 1985 and on and I think mainly DoKa and SiKa.

The mirror itself is the same as on the LT, the bar is specific to the T3.

Well i was a bit manic to find a syncro and buy one quick.
I was pretty lucky with mine as it only has some very small rust spots under the windows at the back aprt from the im very very lucky with the condition. Bar having to put a new v/c in i think (will have ut checked)

Found mine on gumtree.
I nearly went to germany to buy one. There seems to be some good ones there.

For the life of me i cant find anywhere that i can get the fixings for a caravelle r n r bed.
Is there a kit for it?
Or spacific thypes and sizes of nuts i need?

There are 4 bolts needed to mount the hinges, 8.8 tensile rated (stamped on the head these days, originals may not be) "special" seatbelt thread which is 7/16" UNF and they are about 50mm long. If your van had seatbelts fitted, use these if they are long enough.

Nothing else will fit the threads in the bodyshell, so don't try!

I tryed screw fix but they didnt have those hinge bolts where do i buy them from? A motor place?

brickwerks or you could get them from VW

A good hardware/Tool shop should do them. I don't mean B&Q, home base etc

If you are stuck I can get these for you.

Now I need to get:

Rear shocks
Cam belt
Gearbox oil

Gearbox oil: Wilko's are the cheapest per litre I've found, even buying it in 1l bottles, they often only have a couple on the shelf though, you can order more on their website and collect from your local branch.

E D I T: Just checked, its gone up ! Still pretty cheap though.

Which for 5ltrs isn't bad.

I think the hypoid stuff is better suited.....Aidan will have a definitive answer on this subject I bet.

Wilkos is £17.50 for 5l, and its also the 'correct' stuff, EP80W-90 GL4 dino oil, which was original spec in our boxes.
