The Split Screen Van Club

Hi I know this is an old post but going to fit a lime bug tube/wheel to throttle and a butties return spring kit, I’m having trouble removing the tube in the tin ware? I thought it would just pull out will a pair of pliers but can’t budge it any ideas please 😉 Sometimes people put a jubilee clip or...

And so the non mot’d classic ownership begins....

......anyway found an old glass pack I forgot I had ,a bit loud for me at my age but will do for now. Ha ha ha reminds me of a fair few years ago when me and a mate went to pick up a panel van that was straight off the boat. We’d already had a look at it and sussed what it needed to be “vaguely leg...

If you’ve got tubs and you use a standard height seat and runners/mounts you’re gonna be bashing your head on the roof.

Probably easier and cheaper to just replace with another 1303s box. Plus your 4th gear has about the best for a lower cruising revs. Send a pm to “onion” on here (Owen Warlow) as he usually has a few different boxes hanging about. Or if the van is a keeper, speak to someone like Bears to find out ho...

Stunning.

To be honest, who knows. Even the dip**** at the ministry who’ve forced the changes through don’t seem to know what the **** is going on

Good progress there mate. I can imagine it's a bit of a pain due to parts taking an age to get to you

Once the weather warms up I'll get into the garage and have a couple of hrs fiddling about

Didn't your mother warn you, that'll make you go blind

Pah, heating is for wimps

Although I wasn't saying that today when I was freezing my nuts off eek!!
I've now got a nice fleecy blanket for the front. Doesn't keep ya toes warm though....

Did you see the article in the latest camper and bus mag? I did and it's great to see electric conversions in the mainstream press. My only complaint is the lack of photos and details about the conversion... if we knew more about the battery for example we could validate their "range is more like 2...

Give Desi Yates a call on 07914 201724 and I'm pretty certain he will have everything you need. He might even have a full set powder coated and ready to go. Tell him you got the number from Empi Lee.

Yup got mine from Greg as well.
Mine is a March 64 build but I got a Dec 64 expiry tax disc. I had a reason at the time but can't for the life of me remember what it was now

Did you see the article in the latest camper and bus mag? They had an article on a Brazilian bay that had been converted by a company using Tesla batteries. They reckon they’ll get about 250 miles to a charge out of it. Again though, the downside is that it’ll cost a punter 25-30k to convert on top ...
