 |
|
| Hello all I picked up a 71 west. I would like to redo this winter and use for camping with my family next summer. I need some outer rockers and a few other patch panels. I have looked and there a ton of places to order from. I'm not looking for concours n.o.s stuff but decent not paper thin junk. Where's a good place to go through. I was thinking bus depot but wasn't sure.thank you |

Wolfsburgwest metal is probably the stuff you want. Its not the junky orange Brazilian stuff, but not expensive NOS metal. It may need some tweaking to fit right. But if I were you, that’s where i’d start ordering.

The funky green stuff from Klassicfab is the way to go if they have what you need.

X2! KlassicFab was leaps and bounds in front of the stuff form WW in my opinion. If I redid mine, I'd go only KlassicFab.

I would consider two sources:
First, as others have mentioned, go to www.klassicfab.com
As a second choice, www.alanhschofield.com
Good luck!

Yes to Alan Schofield( who is selling to north america on Ebay or directly) but only his own panels. He also sells klockerholm and Wolfsburg west

| I also agree on Schofield. They make a few bits that KlassicFab does not, I've purchased a few of their items too. Also very well made. |
