Looking really good!

Hi Guys
Would just like to say, I've just seen all of this and, what a Great bunch of Guys you are!!

Feeling a lot more positive on the van and had three days on it. Every job seems to take 10 times longer then I envisage but thats life I guess

If I have done anything wrong please point it out to me!

Fitted the throttle pedal




Rear coupling




Gearbox Earth




Spring plate lock tabs and torqued up bolts, brake line's and flex's




The awkward little pipe between the flexi and t-piece took four attempts the brake line over the gear box was also fun. Bowden tube on.





Front coupling





Handbrake pin.. this took nearly two hours to get it to line up and in, had to bend the body work a bit and take a tiny bit off the roll on one side, touch the paint work up after the pic





Gearstick in place




Brake pedal bits




clutch and hand brake cables run,




No photo's but clutch pedal fitted, bit more fettling with the cab doors, battery cable fitted, clutch bearing changed, starter cable fitted now I have the correct grommet, put some contact adhesive on the tailgate seal so it sits nice now, had a good tidy up!


Next was the front brake lines which I hadn't done yet as I hadn't fitted the dual servo unit. Found what looked to be a decent place to put it.. check out the marks on my arms.. this vans been tearing me apart




Drilled and Riv Nutted the bracket (fro vwjim)





on the inside in the tool chest area (is this what its called?) in front of the spare wheel




Fitted it up



bit more distance on this shot.. very happy with the location, nightmare getting the bolts in and I expect getting the brake lines in will be just as much fun





Finally fitted the Wolfsburg West mat, had been looking forward to this and it was such nice quality and pretty much a spot on copy of the original was dear but worth it I think! Can also see the original heater knob which I cleaned up and fitted



Also want to make a quick mention of how good AH Scofield have been, supplying parts on time and really good advise on the phone extra


Might get the odd bit done in the evenings and got Wednesday off during week so hoping to have the brake pipes finished then it won't be long till the engine goes in wahoo!

Flying now Rippers, you'll make Viccy Farm yet!

All looking really good
Especially the cab mat---wish they did a RHD mat, I would buy three!

I...see you have followed Z14 supplement for seat belt mounts...in the spare wheel well!

Trying to be helpfull and not being picky but you might try shorter bolts for the dual servo cradle...so they do not sit too high and snag things in your tool box area..Usually only need a couple of thread showing through the nut.

I have even fitted a vwjim cover over my toolbox...painted to match.. I am really pleased with this..

Yep Z14 supplement nicked the idea from your thread

The bolts where the only ones I had to hand was going change them as my OCD won't allow having one odd bolt lol the riv nuts will probably snag anyway.
I do plan to get one of vwjims covers actually, they look great

Good work by the way Rippers, good to see you re-enthused and a nice little milestone getting everything attached to the pedals.

Been following the build and enjoy the updates, as we are in the process of repairing our camper looking at your posts should keep us going for a while, looking forward to seeing it a Stanford hall one day along with ours.

Thanks guys.. need to do some swatting on a few bits.. first the clutch cable adjustment, then the master cylinder rod adjustment and handbrake cable adjustment.

Also has anyone ever done a thread or guide to the workings of the '64 Cab door mech's, one one side it seems lock and open from the inside, the other side will only just about lock on the inside and won't let you open the door from the inside. Taken them both out and given them some lube and slowly getting the jist of how they work. I noticed one side had a spring missing (oddly the side that works better?!) does anyone have a good close up picture of how these mechs should be?

Thanks!

Another day where It feels like I achieved nothing!

Long brake pipe run




Connected to remote servo




The servo looks like it has a earth point does this need connecting ?




Not too happy with the way this pipe sits low, the splash pan won't fit with the pipe like this and I think it is dangerous, I can't get the angle any tighter with the bender I have, so going to have to buy another tool! anyone know why you have to use this output of the master cylinder and not the one on the other side?





Had a play with the wipers, needs new seals Its slowly getting there



Its slowly getting there

pictures pretty much do the talking

























I didn't know what the hell these were but all was revealed later





















The rear hatch lock, a little different but overall the same











the retaining ring is a little more tricky to get out that the cab door handles but I noticed a small slot that i could get a small screw driver in, it helps.










inside I found an almost complete ring of those little bit I that i didn't what they were. I think they are grafite, like the "led" in a pencil. I assume they kind of lubricate the turning of the key.















for £20 I got the 4 locks tabs moved about and a new key cut. the chap said it was a BMW key.









I had kept all the different door handles separate.









OK

important you know this.

the lock can be inserted back into the barrel two ways, only one will work.

the lock has one part that sticks out from under the chrome ring. the other 3 its are tucked under the chrome. this sticky out part has to be able to rotate in the barrel.


take a look at the difference.1st photo of the grooves in the barrel goes straight all the way to the top. the ones below have a kind of "ledge" at top, this is where the sticky out bit moves when its rotated.

























and thats it, piece of cake


on my drivers door I tried to get the little grafite pieces back on, i used a very small amount of grease for them to stick to.


drivers door doesn't close that well anyway and the locks are stiff, I'm not sure if it was a success or not
