The Split Screen Van Club

Where are you based?

I have just refurbed the standard fuel pump on my 1500 SP. Its the standard kit that all the usual suspects sell. It has a twin skin diaphragm. Looks nothing like the quality of the OG. I couldnt find it on the net but from my experience it would appear that you do not preload the diaphragm as you d...

Hellllooooo Pie? The back fits to the bulkhead with three rivnuts, I built mine in the van with the floor down, a sort of custom fit.

Hi, I'm based in Hampshire. Cadnam.

Bugger thats miles from me, you could have poped in and we could have welded one up to your spec!!
Could do with your van as the thickness of the floor and the like make a difference.

I'll take a look. The fabric on the rear seats? Vinyl or Leather?

Its leather mate, a brazilian hide from the Saloon range called Whisky, Vision Upholstery at church stretton upholstered it. Where are you based mate?

Hi. Where did you get the rear facing twin with hinges or did you fabricate this yourself? It was fabricated in me garage mate, if you look back through the thread you can see it being made, I have found it to be great. The hinges are raised up close to the top of the padding so it clears the windo...

I will take some in the morning xx

Due to the lockdown I painted me garage floor. While the van was out I fitted a quick shift kit that I had left over from a bay years ago, It made a great difference. I also fitted a rug I made a few months ago. It was a crucial trading offcut with a 50s pattern. Dont look at the name on the fridge,...

Its getting close, we always go wild camping locally to kick off the season, cant wait. Pics from last year!!
