This is the style I have... It's the wider type with the circle embossed in the plastic at the crank. Unlike the earlier ones which just had the thin arm covered.

But, anything that would work is even ok for now!


I'll pull some from my stash tomorrow.


I forgot the handles, too many things on my plate today...


I may have one, I'll check later

I got a (Civic) trunk pretty much full of pine fire wood. More damp than I would like, but got some lighter fluid. Leaving tomorrow morning early - I'll be there mid-morning. Was too busy this summer to miss the Westy, but I sure was when packing up everything tonight.

Ok, except for a cranky right front directional, I got it all working (I hope). We're leaving around 6pm tomorrow. Mike, I'll give a yell when we're near so you can let us in.

I'll be arriving at camp with my son on sat evening. Driving from upstate NY (sounds better than saying Albany). Any room for one more Westy, or should I look elsewhere?

Tom B. you are already there with the camperized doka, it will be interesting to compare set ups.

I heard Tom Crewcab is cooking for everyone on Sunday evening, wouldn't want to miss THAT! Wink

Had actually considered renting an enclosed trailer and haul a storage unit worth of vintage parts, but as usual time and energy didn't allow. Instead, I'll have a good time wondering around and buying shit, as usual...

Chris, we'll have room. With some diligent planning and a modicum of common sense we'll be able to avoid the hodgepodge that became last year's parking. There's room, c'mon down.

Rob, glad you're going tom make it. I have my volt meter if it comes down to campground repairs.

Folks, the gate is remaining OPEN. There is an we card system being installed but as it is not yet operational we don't have to worry about anyone being locked out.
When you arrive to the igloo, please park with your rear hatch to the concrete perimeter wall. It's pretty obvious, based on how Stan, Stacy, Tom and myself are parked. We may have to limit tents/awnings but don't want anyone to be uncomfortable or, not have room/accommodations for everyone in their party. If you need to set up a tent, just see Stan or myself first so we can put you on an end or in a corner so as to avoid the tent taking space away from another car.

Looking forward to seeing everyone! Weather is great here, and we're excited for an awesome weekend!

BRING FIREWOOD and stuff to burn!

Ok, change of plans on my part. We'll be there Saturday morning. I figured why bust my ass driving all night just to crash as soon as I get there. Taking the 7am Orient Point ferry instead. This way I can kick back tonight and get up early and head out.

See you there!

Folks, don't let the drizzles scare you off! We've got quite a set up here, and the current rain is passing at about 1pm!
Dinner and a nice fire is on the schedule for tonight. Tomorrow looks like it'll be quite nice for a show!
Come down and have some fun!

I just got my bus rolling again a few minutes ago. I hadn't touched it since I went camping back in August and started having stalling issues. REbuilt an old 30-3 carb in the stash wit ha weird 113####### tin metal tab attched to the carb top. Long story short, rebuilt, dialed in tonight at 11:30 and fueld up ready for the show tomorrow. See you guys there.
