Haha, apparently you rock the bed like us northeasteners.
I've never really seen them for sale by themselves, as most would just get sold with the full bed id think. Maybe start looking for someone parting out a bus with wasted wood on the interior. |

Yes, that's correct. It's the foil lined paper tubing as seen inside the bus, and used on the fresh air fan.

looking at a set of natural mats for my cab area like these i spotted on madmatz blog, although im gonna get the passenger wrap around extended all the way round the back, to cover the rubber bit shown in pic 3, also like the rear mat.
my cab floor carpet is shot, so need a new one, as well as seat stands and wrap arounds, these look a good alternative to the rubber mats

Yep that was mine Kirk. When it went to London it did have both tables and table legs along with the super 6 extinguisher. Ask Mr Elliot if he still has them. Good choice to get the wheels back original. I just could not bring myself to paint over anything on this untouched Bay.
Also the flex lines for the heater must have been damaged in transit as they existed before shipped. I will check my photo albums.
Also the air conditioning was a dealer installed option. In that wad of paper work is the schematic and details. Or at least it was when I shipped it. Did you also get the original radio? I sent that along as well.
Nice mats! They look great! |

Do you have the little arm that locks it in place in there? I cant see it in your pics.
