 |
|
my bus has been apart for years (yes - I am taking my time).
Just got it out of the paint shop, and starting to put it together. Somehow, I am missing a couple of parts.
I can't find the gas pedal and the interior door latch/strap. See pictures.
Does someone have these handy for a quick sale?
If not, can someone point me to the right vendor?
Thanks

AND get the german stuff when given a choice- my engine lid seal hasn't survived the engine build.

Bad form to post "wanted" advert in the forum.
The below from the forum rules: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=78603

The exception to this is in response to a request for information, e.g. "Who sells part xxxx?" |
Post in the classifieds and of course lots of stuff there. Wolfsburg West is one of the best for the new parts.
Great to see a bus getting so close to being one the road again.

| Interesting Paint scheme, any reason you went that route? painted like that in the past? different, looks like old 60's charter busses. |

I didn't even know the front heater tube was removable! That would cause me more distress than the gas pedal.
