 |
|
Im just cleaning out my bus for paint and found a small chunk of rubber laying there. Turns out it was a piece of the spring isolator rubber. One is gone completely and the other is as you see it here:
So...who sells these little trinkets? And has anyone ever changed them?
Gordo.

Thanks for that. I couldn't find them through regular source either.
I guess I could give the parts dept. at VW dealership a call and see how good their vintage parts search is.?

You could go back to the previous version that was a hose on one of the torsion rods.
Do you have the press board that goes above the rods?

I've never seen any Masonite boards in this area. You think those are factory fitted?

Those are. All original '67 Kombi. Anyone else out there verify? It's soft pressboard. |
