sorry Ben if I have to spoil the party but I really do not like these wheels. they look like the worst of the 90s. and I do dislike the 90s. Wolfrace, Fuchs and 5spoke looked much better IMHO. |
No problem at all.. i realy love the wheels on the Chanel and it is like in the fashsionscene, eveything will have a reunion. At the moment you see a lot of 80th passion in the vw scene, the 90th will come sooner or later, maybe i´m a little bit forward..
anyway, i found some shots from the award show of the VolksNRoll.
i´m not a fan of presenting myself, so i got my buddy kai rolling the chanel into the award show to collect the Top 10 and the Hayburner award the Chanel got at this weekend, i was very proud about.
here´s a picture from Sunday just close befor we left the show, even the weather was sad about seeing us leaving, it rained all day long on sunday!

Last weekend was BadCamberg, i visited the show on Saturday.
BC is just 100kilometer away from my hometown so i drove over to say hello to some friends you don´t see that often, and some you just saw them a few days ago in Italy!
Niels got me while driving into the Town of BC
I found a spot to park the chanel and enjoyed the show e few hours, befor i needed to go back.

Last week i did some family vacation in Bourgonge, France - 1200km round trip.
Bourgonge is famous for his wine and getting more important for his streetarts..

Yes they are. I used some T4 threepoint belts. I stole the idea from my buddy kai, he did this in his old 56, you can see here:
I did it a little bit different in my bus but you get the idea.

Nice job on the 3-point belts for the children seats, and yes duck tape and zip ties a must for every tool box

Great photos of the bus out and about 😊 In the picture above, what is the black bit that drops the high point of the belt lower? I have a seat belt mount welded in at the top of that post and it seems too high to mount the seatbelt to. That looks like a great solution to my problem.
Cheers. Dave |

Sorry, don´t understand what exactly you talking about. I did a shot of mine also, maybe that helps?

Sorry, I don't think my description was all that good. The black vertical bit that hangs from the top bolt, about 200mm long, is that rigid, or seat belt webbing?
I hope that makes a little more sense
Many thanks. Dave |

Looks like the seat belt plastic case to me.

guys. while this makes for a nice install without having to drill many holes in visible areas. Please understand that the pivot point of the seat belt is not the lower end of the black bracket. in case of an accident it will always pivot at the bolt on top on the rain gutter rail. this means it will bend forward and will allow for a certain travel of the lower seat belt pivot point. imho this is not a totally safe installation. if bent forward and back the bracket could crack. I don't know the factory T4 Vanagon installation though.
I want to believe it works ok in this application on our Barndoors, but I am somewhat concerned. _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !
