Bus Daddy-
I fired thru that link and only saw 2/3 benches up front. (I was mostly looking at pics, some reading too) do you have a page number for me? I LOVE that extra seat! It looks like it does not need the uber rare bulkhead connector piece used for the 2/3 bench? |

There's plenty of pics of the kit that uses the bars and the wider 2/3 seat but Djoul's pic is the only late one I've seen, maybe it's a one off by some crafty upholstery pro? Looks like a regular seat that's been narrowed from here.

It's Westfalia. Fits inside the stool that goes between the two front seats on deluxe campers.

A few years back, I was parting out a westfalia and there was one of these inside. I threw it away! I thought it was just a bucket. DOH!  Now I want one. Urg! |

Is it still the same option code if it is a late bay? I recently had the opportunity to purchase an M501 set up at a swap (For $75!) but ultimately passed because it was intended for a bus that had the bulkhead/partitions behind both front seats.
This set up (above) seems to be for a later model bus, that may not have the same requirement for the partitions.
I would be interested in seeing more of this (later) style.
Also, though I didn't buy the M501 a friend with a early bay did. So, it wasn't a total loss! LOL

Interesting, never considered the lack of bulkheads. The seat stands would still be there so I imagine it's a couple of bars that bolt across and a seat with a self supporting back. No idea if the M code is the same.

Cool bucket. Risky business without a lid though...
Blink blink bonanza...NOS European style rear bumper trim for year 70-72. OG trim for those 2 years is rare enough, especially for the rear bumper. Front ones are OG too. Ready to be boltet to my 70 deluxe...

^^^ If that is for 70-72, what is the difference for 68-69? Bumper was the same through 71, correct? Did the trim change shape for 70?

'68-'69 Bay trim are like early Bus trim (pre '68 stuff). The trim I have on my Clipper bumpers are off a '70, like these.

Wow, fantastic Clipper, single color deluxe is just cool, and in red. Not sure I have ever seen single color Clipper.

I have one NOS in the box.  It's SO amazing to see it in it's original packaging.
