Unfortunately I don’t think Marinehowto sells that any longer.

WTB; I’m in need of a right rear brake backing plate. Van is a 97 with a full float, drum brake axle. Maybe someone has swapped axles and has a similar one sitting…

Was able to test for any faults and have no flashes. Fridge did appear to cool a bit so when the temp setting was set to above ambient, the fan and compressor shut off. Went ahead and order a bullet piercing valve and gave it a few shots of refrigerant. Didn’t bother weighing it as i don’t...

Do you know if they actually fully charged it and used a real load tester to simulate a load? As opposed to an electrical battery analyzer. I’ve seen many batteries pass an analyzer teat but actually fail a real load test. It sounds like you are doing it ok. I would not trust a volt reading as...

I think there is a mod you can do that affects this. If I remember correctly you solder in a different resistor to the control. Might be worth doing some googling on it. edit; Never mind, different mod. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=553389&start=0 Does your heater not have...

I have an fp430 that has quit cooling. I’ve read through the fridge mod thread and searched for other similar issues and have not found a similar case. Symptoms are the same on ac and dc power. The fan, compressor and temp settings all work. The fan and compressor run continuously with no...

Here is what I came up with. I went with an aftermarket Flowmaster cat. A little worried it may not be as efficient since it’s quite a bit smaller than the original. Also installed a new Bosch post cat o2 sensor since they cut the wires. Did a 2 part deterrent system. 3 lengths of 1/4” steel...

Thanks Shenrie. Will read through those. I suppose the goal is really to have them take a look and think “that looks like it will take too long, let’s move on”. That is only based on my recent experience though. 4:40 in the morning I heard them cutting. Ran to the front door. Found it “locked”...

The catalytic converter on my van was stolen recently. Before I get the replacement installed for good I’d like to have some type of protection to install along with it. My internet research has showed various cables, chains, cages, and plates. But not too many econoline specific designs. It...

Is it gore-Tex by chance?

Agreed. That looks great. Well done. Any idea of how many hours into it and materials cost? I’m also hoping to do a bumper build.

I welded some angle iron onto a cargo carrier to serve that purpose. I’ve never seen a long track like you describe. Maybe weld some angle to some flat stock and rivet or bolt through the canopy? Steel or aluminum would work.

Still have them…

How are you liking that top?

Do you have any interest in shipping it?

Is the bedliner finish an optional extra cost? They do that as an improvement?

Working on rust repair in preparation for a high top.

Super nice! Everything you seem to design and build turns out great. You should be proud!

I think you are correct. I wish I was in a position to do that myself when he sold individual parts! Still haven’t found any other options so far...
