Grey Vinyl Insulation Covers for early bay window bus

[Jack-Fatboy]

Hello Everybody,

I would like to introduce the new thing in the vw resto parts market - the grey insulations covers for early bay bus.

I decided to do after making the split covers. I used the original patterns from '68 one of the very first westy's. It looks like there are all pieces but I don't know exact the bay's. So if you find something wrong please let me know. Soon available for sale here on thesamba.com

Please take a look on the pictures and let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Jacek

wont the vinyl melt? outside may be ok, but what about the seams where it protrudes next to the insulation?
looks like 212-500 F depending on additives
100-260C

[Jack-Fatboy]

Don't worry there is no such high temprature and the sewing thread is non-flammable.

Can you tell me is this my set complited or not? I still looking for information about the bay versions of insulations covers. I would be apprieciate for your help.

Cheers,
Jacek

sorry, my original cover is long gone. Interested in a nice solution for those of us with poor insulation

[Jack-Fatboy]

This is the best solution

QUALITY repro insulation covers made like OEM ones.

I need as much information about insulations from you guys who have bay window buses. I don't know them good so I will waiting for your help.

Is there the whole set I made for early bay window bus? Any one know?

Thanks
Jacek

I think these look great and reminds me that I have a bus that needs a whole heater tube restoration. These covers would be great to have available. I’ll take a look at mine today and see if there’s anything I can add to your request for some help.

This would be great, Jacek! (Jaček?)

I know that I have some pieces sitting around for Type 2b (later style bus). And they are different for different heating arrangements. It will be a few months before I can get my hands on some, since my bus is undergoing restoration elsewhere.

I believe you have a market, though, as I know of no one else who is making these. You might even work with Just Kampers in England and Bus Depot in the US to sell these for you!

But, yes, first things first. You need good patterns. I expect there are many folks who would send you old crusty ones to use as a pattern in exchange for new ones from you!
