 |
|
Reference picture (not mine)
Some time back there was an ad here by someone in The Netherlands selling all the replacement parts for the '1/4 ton' size Westphalia trailer. I'd thought I bookmarked it for reference but can't find the bookmark or any such ad today.
There exists a website for CAJ-Ersatzteile that shows a parts list at
http://www.caj-ersatzteile.de/Download/E-artikelliste.html
including the CELLASTO spring units I require. Does anyone have a diagram that calls out the parts this trailer uses? Or any better suggestion? |

Let's bump this thread until someone responds.
I'm in the same boat, my bookmark went away in a system crash. Before that I'd been trying to make replacements out of radiator hose filled with Silly Putty, but I found out it would shatter under the stress.
Maybe an airbag from someone else? |

ToolBox -- Thanks. Since I posted I had emailed a random vendor in NL, and BASF North America.
But I'll go with your suggestion. Do you think the 400kg or 6/800kg version would be most appropriate?
Edit: Never mind—400kg is 881lb. |

Globusoverland is one of the NL sellers that has parts and trailers new and used at any given time. He is a great resource for people stateside with Essen trailers.
Mike R is the owner of that westfalia trailer site posted: http://www.westytrailers.com/en/axles-chassis
And has ads on the samba as well.
I have made the big Westfalia sticker for the back of the Essen and can sell a few. I have 10 or 20 cant remember. Just let me know.

| Oh and this info is going to die with you guys that recently posted. Because the thread is spelled wrong - Westphalia and not Westfalia |
Wow, look how the spelling in the topic has magically changed!

Any pointers for removing the wheel mounting from the axle? Is it as easy as removing the outer bolt and pulling?

It looks like that to me. I haven't done one yet.

I am changing out the plastic bushings as well. Man, what a PITA!
