I do love the Devon interiors.
You're doing really well, interior looks great. I'm liking the cupboard you made.

The inner rear corners are a pain to make but I have been working on these for a while, been a bit tricky as I no longer have an early bus but Ben (Falstaff) kindly let me check I got these fitting correctly in his van.

inner rear corners,

It was fixed but I made it hinged after I fitted this for a 3 point belt:-

It means I can take down the post, drop it in the cupboard and drop the table leg locker shut.

The interior looks great :)

I have NOS round slider pulls, three types of wardrobe catches, hinges etc if anyone needs them. PM with wish list and I'll dig them out!

Thanks for all the photos....very useful. I think next steps is to make up the overhead table holder (unless anyone has one for sale???)

Then do the lower & upper panels.......then think about the rear cupboards (unless anyone has some kicking about they want to sell) :D

Brian - I've dropped you a PM about the NOS round slider pulls etc.

Cheers

Just to show how sad I am, the covers on top of your draws are the wrong way round.
The handle needs to be towards the inside of the bus. The idea being that you can open them easily from the inside of your bus.

I was far too polite..

Nice though isn't it!

Thanks CCSIeman & Graham, I know they are the wrong way round, but we only use them from the rear so going for what works, does that mean I'm not a DICs?

And I've changed the handles on the drawers to the correct ones too.

Tops still the wrong way round though.

Hi

Finally managed to get some more of the interior done......thanks to Ant at DubHolstery for his help..

Got all the rear seat covers made & upper rear panels....

I also managed to finally get an Easicool.....Thanks to Richard for selling me his "spare" Easicool :lol: If anyone has a mint one with a red or a black door & wants to swap for my blue door....let me know. I still need to make up the board that sits under the small cushion...thanks for all the help on the other thread as to how that should look. I also need to make up the end plate that sits along the right sie of Easicool.....unless anyone has one of those spare :o

Image

Image

Just need to sort the 2 tables out & make a magazine rack and we'll be just about there...... :bounce: :bounce:

Thanks also to Graham for all his invaluable knowledge & time explaining how things should all fit together

That looks excellent!
Thanks for putting up with my lengthy explanations.

This makes it all worthwhile..
Drawings for magazine rack credit to Bobley.
Just need to make sure that the large rear table fits well between the seats and then the support bar for the magazine rack also fits between the seats well and maybe adjust sizes to suit..
A great pleasure to be of any small assistance....
I believe I have a link to show how the missing end piece you describe looks depending on with whale pump or without. .
