Any pictures of it installed?
Bought this so premature- my bus isn't close to done. I'm just getting it ready to media blast... Someday there will be pics.

I got a Wedge pillow this week , But could not find info as far what years of Westfalia they were for .

That pillow is for the 74/75 'Helsinki' Westfalias with the jump seat on the driver side wall rather than the flip up table (kind of rare, but not really):

And the vinyl version of the wedge would be for the earlier years.

They are great for using as regular pillows and match the interiors! Its funny you say hoarder as my girl just called me that yesterday because I collect spares for my bus, ideally i would have a spare part for anything.

i got another running bus to have as spare :lol:
only it seats 9 insted of sleeping 4

i thought that the yellow plaid is only on 76-77 westy
if so, that would mean that they never made the wedge pillow
in yellow

unless your talking about solid yellow for a 73
how hard could it be to get material & copy one of
the original ones you have

Fri Apr 16, 2010 12:59 pm

Iam looking at getting this for my next tatoo. My wife thinks Iam a hoader with 10 westy's 2 bus's and 1 snigle cab and a few bugs.

Scrat the ultimate hoarder!

Ya like the one ? man I do like that early yellow plaid. I would like to find some of that to redo the seat's in one of mine but no joy so far. The one I have now has useable seats but you know what happen's to old upholstery when you put it back into use.

the late bay westfalias that are solid orange 76-79 from what i have seen only came with the late yellow plaid, as the orange plaid was 74-75 only.

vw76westy, do you have a late yellow plaid wedge??????

Bigbore, I can order repro wedges in any color but I prefer og.
