Oh I do like the rear shot!
So no rear cupboards and no dinette table leg cupboard.. beading on the rear seat back board on the back of the panel... not on the front.
If I could beg, when you have time ....
I will PM my questions!

May I ask, did you get Madmatz to do the seat covers too?
Whoever did them did a good job.

Did I send you details of my cab cot for your little one as she gets bigger..?
Also I have a transverse cot which was an option..
This was an option to hold babies (over your feet in the cargo area)..or for your items once you are in bed..
I can help with dimensions etc..

So, yesterday I managed to chop the end of my finger clean off with a kitchen knife
Whilst bored in A+E I decided to hit eBay and found my holy grail - a black top Dudley
It was listed as starting at £2.99 and with no bids I fired the seller an email. 10 mins later I got a reply saying I could pick it up for £20. Now, I did contemplate leaving hospital but I stuck with it and went this morning. To say I'm pleased is an understatement
It's not exactly correct but for £20? Yeah I can live with that!
Cheers,
Scott

Well I typed a reply but no idea where it went..
Early one takes electrical conduit from electrical factors for legs with black plastic or rubber end caps on the bottoms.
Legs are held in with butterfly thumb bolts. Was fitted to Devonette in 1963/4 and Caravette in 1963.
Close match to paint to lighten up is in the Hammerstein range.
Will look great.
Top is exactly like the one in the 62 folding cooker.
Quite a few people have used these to make a folding cooker...just need the metalwork to copy...
BARGAIN..
I do not have one in this style..
I have two of the Devon leg plate variety and the taller wind shroud variety from a 64. All Black topped.
With a little care this could look the part and toast...
Just need to look out for the grill pan...
LOL..

That's good to know!
The seller had removed it from a '63 that they gutted and refitted to rent out. I did ask if there were any more interior parts for sale but the answer was 'no - this is the last bit I found in the garage'.
Judging by their valuation I didn't hold out much hope that it'd been saved and I didn't have the courage to ask...

Whaaaat that is awesome
As G says you need to get a copy of an original 62 cooker shroud and an original 62 cupboard. I have both you can borrow to replicate if you can get me a copy of the metalwork at the same time?

Sounds like a plan, I'll have a look into finding somewhere. I had contemplated selling the bus after summer but now I'm not so sure. Funny how a £20 cooker can change things!

The bus looks great, did madmatz provide the fabric for the cushions? I've been trying to find where to buy it from, cheers Kevin
