Got the bed back in, threshold cover in place

Can anyone tell me if the brackets on my bed are installed properly? Or should they be pointing down like the second photo?

Here are some pictures I found in the Gallery labeled as Westfalia Z-Bed Hinges 1968 to 1971, and the bed looks like yours, so it looks like your hinges are correct for the model of bed you have.

So I’ve got some new wheels. Oz racing splits. BBs style ones are up for grabs if anyone wants them. I went 195/65 on the rear tyre size, but it’s a little large. So going to try 185/60

Hi. Thanks so much for those. My bus is a 1972 so I may need the late bracket to fix the issue

So I got the curtain rail up. And made this little cabinet for my fridge. Not sure what to do with the empty space at the side yet.

i also need a westfalia cupboard door so i can use the seal, hinges, handle and handle mechanism if anyone has one laying around willing to sell me?
