Want to buy something? / WTB: Door Handle Lock Cylinder

« on: April 22, 2017, 05:40:58 pm »

I am in need of a lock cylinder for a Eurovan door handle. I do not need the key (so, if you have a bastard lock-cylinder, I want it!).

Interior! / Early vs Late Steering Wheels

« on: January 20, 2017, 10:37:03 am »

After installing a 2000 "blue" instrument cluster into my early '99 GLS, I'm considering also swapping out the steering wheel for a late-model wheel. Does anybody know if the clock-spring from the early '99 mounts into the 2000+ steering wheel? Or will I also need to locate the matching clock-spring?
Thanks!

Show off your projects here! / '99 EV GLS Camping Rig

OK, not a weekender or Westy, and unless I find a donor pop-top for a song and dance, it likely will never be. But it's an EV, and it has to meet our needs for camping and MTB'ing. The family and I will still be sleeping in tents, but the plan is to have a rolling kitchen/bathroom to make extended and/or dirty trips more convenient, as well as haul the camping and biking equipment.

'99 GLS with some MV seats installed by the previous owner. High miles, cheap...for some reason, I gravitate towards this.

Westfalia / MV Rear Seat Latch/Catch

« on: October 01, 2016, 01:04:17 pm »

I have a 99 GLS with MV seats installed by the previous owner. The seat back on the rear seat doesn't latch, and it appears the catches on both sides do not extend out far enough to insert into the latch. Can anybody confirm whether these catches are different between the GLS and MV models, or whether i can simply space the catch out with washers?
Thanks!
