| Thanks. Had stripped an SO-42 long ago and was trying to remember which side it came off of. I believe drivers side (just can't picture if there is trim on the cabinet side)? |

[quote="lushtech"]Wow, thanks for the link! pretty rad what he is building and VERY similar to what I want to do... I personally don't have the time, space, or the master woodworking skills to build this myself from scratch. I guess I was hoping to find someone that I could pay to do this...
I'd hit up Cameron https://volksfab.com/ he's in your area, and is doing camper interiors. He also has a FB page. |

Hello,
I am looking for a floor lug if anyone has an extra one they are willing to sell?
I searched to see if I could find a repop one, and it looks like no one is making one. If you know of somewhere that is repoping, please add the link.

I have at least two original Split window style Westfalia curtain rods i'd trade for:
A decent EZ-Camper window
A passenger side door latch mechanism (non-ice pick)
Or ??

The two supporting poles are not shown, would want to be sure they were included. These look very similar to the ones out of the UK that were recently for sale.

| I believe you are right. Agreed without the supporting bumper poles you are buying an incomplete set. Anyone seen these first hand or know anyone that has actually used them? |

I know two people who have purchased the Wolfsburg Restos poles and for the most part they work. Both sets needed some minor fixes after a few uses (threaded rod started to split) but overall minor stuff. Seemed decent.
These look to have different color markers than the ones in the ad you posted so must be different.

Thanks so much. I too don't see any of the toilet tent poles. Hard to tell from the pics if the poles are threaded to screw together as per originals?
Who is selling these poles?

Wolfsburg Restos out of the UK. I believe he did a run of a a dozen or so and those sold out pretty quickly.

The poles look like slip fit as the ends dont look threaded or fully threaded.
Without being threaded together the wind could pop all those poles apart.

Yep, pretty much like the BBT poles. I haven't found anyone making a pole set that is made like OG poles.
