These are genuine VW issue brand new hooks-- They are not aftermarket replacement's. Fix them drooping, hanging curtains with a new set. Here are replacement curtain slides for any Westy that have either dried up and broke, or are just plain missing and gone in your Westfalia. Same quality--better price I made these straps for my Vans--and a few of them for other Vanagon owner's in a desperate answer for some sort of longevity factor for the muffler retainer straps.
Another super deal--and a long lasting solution for the cheap, toilet paper thin, short lived straps that are currently available from any other Vanagon Parts Vendor. Here's a picture of a typical Vanagon tin muffler strap prior to changing it-- Phooey--! They are made to the same spec's as the HD 2. Here is is a few Mfg. This tape will tell you how to recharge and locate AC problems in a Vanagon 2 Throttle Positioning Switch Adjustment This is possibly the best must have tape --nine times outa ten when your engine is swallowing gas, or running poorly, this is the first place to start in correcting the problem.
This tape will give you a good overall view on how to diagnose and correct engine running problems 4 Westfalia Refrigerator Maintenence, Removal, and operation This one is a real good one to have for those of you that are having problems getting the Reefer to oprerate on gas Then I have two Sales Tapes from the VW. They show the complete Vanagon Line --and all the features.
These are really super good stuff--especially the Tech information--and they will help you out a bunch in keeping your Vanagon running as per factory specs. The reason I went with this attractive unit is because of the drink holder's-- I've seen folks, hack, chop, alter their doors, dash,and seat mounts, just trying to get a place to drop a drink for a ride and they seem to always be in the way-- I really like the console because it offers some more "close to me while driving" precious storage.
You can get an idea of where the drink holder's are in the front and back. This is the ultimate answer to a common problem. These pipes do not repair the whole length of the cooling pipes. The Stainless lines replaced this garbage perfect. Thay are now NLA. Some people swap the rusted out and rotton pipes for PVC, some use rubber hose, some use soft copper tubing--all of which won't really last too long, and thay are asking to be broke down with an empty coolant system.
Here is a custom built to order, exact copy of the early Vanagon pipes complete from the front to the rear of the Van, in. They are available in one piece, or split for ease of installation, and savings in shipment. There isn't a better complete replacement coolant line set up available anywhere on the planet for early Vanagon's The stainless steel pipes will outlast your Van without any further problem's. Here's an avaialable option for the two piece pipes. Picture perfect custom made stainess steel duplicates of the original factory plastic pipes, that will not fracture, crack, or self destruct under your Van The Syncro crew will enjoy this updateit makes the coolant pipes bullet proof for 4 wheeling in the boonies The Stainless Pipes are also available for any Single or Double Cab Vanagon Pick up truck, 2wd or Syncro.
I custom mandrel bend these 0. These custom stainless pipes really look good and are even pretty under your Van There isn't a better Vanagon cooling system update offered anywhere else on the planet These pipes are genuine "Made In The USA" high quality and on a "made to order" basis.
Beaded Ends Here is a shot of the ends of the stainless pipes for both the Real good shot of a junk 86 to 91 Plastic Coolant Line This is what fails on all later model Vanagon's cooling system--the ends of the pipes. They have a steel sleeve's glued inside the ends of the plastic pipes to support the hose clamps for the hose union on the ends of them--The pipes get old, the glue dries up, the lines split, and they fail. This is a typical done, cooked, fried, adios, morto, finito, original issue plastic pipe that is split and a real good reason to update to the new stainless replacement pipes Vanagon Westfalia Upper Bunk Step This picture shows how it fits into the front table mount-- How in the heck did VW or Westfalia expect anyone to get to the upper bunk without something like this installed??
Ths picture shows how it was made to clear both the cabinet drawer as well as the lower cabinet door. However you swing it, it clears everything,. Construction of the Step It is built off center, so it can be swung out of the isle, and tuck behind the driver's seat,so it will be out of the way when not in use. The top of the step has had a gusset welded betwen the bottom of it to the pipe to add strength. I dropped this step into a jack stand and lowered the rear ends of a tandem Mack truck onto itabout 15, lbs.
It supported it without bending or flexing. It is a well built unitand still lightweight. Just another picture of the inside of my Westfalia to show the application of the anti slip bed liner on the top of the step for saftey--and the cabinet to step clearance. My 74 Westfalia has a step stool which VW supplied with the Bus--I can't for the life of me figure out how VW expected a person to get up to the top bunk without something to give you a boost in a Vanagon Westfalia. I custom build these assist steps on a per order basis, and if you really want to make the trip up to the top bunk in your Westfalia a simple task, drop me a line, and I'll be more than happy to build you one.
They are Available in either Grey 86 to 91 or Brown 80 to 85 to match your interior. It really looks neat hooked up to the side of my Westfalia--especially in the matching maroon. When the Van is pointed south when parked, the awning keeps the summer's sun from baking the interior Looong Poles-- The poles are HD--and totally adjustable--from 4 ft.
I am 6'1" tall, and wanting to be able to enter the Van without squating just to walk under it-- I also wanted to be able to extend the center pole to give the awning some pitch, so if in fact it rained with it up, the water would run off of it--rather than pool in the center The three grommets are also marine grade- bullet proof stuff. I can get these made in almost any single solid color in the rainbow It's double stitched and made to marine grade specs.
Striped Sunbralla is available, and is not the same price as the soild color's --ask for a price. For color availability go to Sunbrella. Good Mounting Shot The upper hanging brackets have rubber lined bottoms, to prevent marring the luggage rackand the adjustment rods are covered with rubber tubing to prevent them from scratching the drip mouding. The bottom bracket, under the unit, that lays up against the door is also covered with rubber to prevent the frame from scratching the paint.
It all works out perfect I have found the unit capable of maintaining 60 degree's with the pop top up at 90 degree's outside temperature. This setup for sure makes any camping trip much more pleasurable--especially a night--you'll sleep like a brickno sweat. You'll want to know how in the heck you've done without it for so long-- It works super--and is very simple and fast to attach to your Westy Hang it, flip the boot upand plug in--that's it.
Hanging time--Maybe 30 seconds. What a great " Cool " addition for any 74 Bus to 91 Vanagon Westfalia. I manufacture the AC Units from the end of October to April 30th so you can be ready to use it for summer. I can't figure this one out, so be patient.
E-Mail Me for more details, or if you have any questions. Looks super nice. What used to take me 20 minutes to do, now is a plug in and go set up Vanagon Accessory Jump Start Cable Storage Here is the cables prior to plugging it into the permanent outlet plug in the Van, which are HD units as used in electric fork lifts amp capacityno short cuts here.
I used an extra set of jumper cables I already had laying around. All I did was to lop off the clamps on one end and solder the connections for the accessory plugs.
Neat, clean, trouble free, and you can rest assured the porlarity to your Van will always be correct. No shorting out your alternator when you want to get jumped, or start somebody that's marooned on the side of the road. If you might be interested having one of these jumper kits made for your Westfalia--drop me a line--I will be happy to build one for you.
It's a neat, handy item to have in your Van. Vanagon Westfalia Replacement Flourescent Interior Lamps I took out the lame power sucking incadescent lamp, and added three of these attractive aluminum constructed flourescent lamps--two on the left side of my Westy--one over the rear table, one over the sink--and one over the sliding door, on the bottom of the fresh air vent housing.
They throw twice as much light as the factory unit--and rob less power from the battery when in use. I'm also going to add one to the bottom of the rear AC housing--just in front of the rear hatch. These are real nice light units--and much brighter than the old Westfalia three bulb single incadescent fixture's,.
Picture From The Back Hatch These look one heck of a lot nicer than the stock Westfalia incadescent unit--and throw white, bright, light. Vanagon Brighter Tail Lamp Upgrade I have done many upgrades to both of my Vans--BUT this one is possibly the best one Yet-- I almost got wacked several times in the rear of my 85 GL at night, and it seems that as the driver's of the other vehicles were going by swearing at me--their biggest complaint was they didn't see me--and I do agree that the tailamps of the Vanagon are mounted way too low on the vehicle, and much too low wattage bulbs to be safe.
So I did some calculating, and tried several different combinations and this one worked out well. I love the thought of being seen and not hit at night--especially with the low slung tail lamps--and the low wattage bulbs. The Tail end of my 87 Westfalia at night Like I saidIt's a light showand a much bigger difference from the lame stock kerosine like bulbs These lamps have been n this Van for 3 years 3 months and 10 days--no wiring hassle's-- The red reflection on the bottom is the DOT Semi Trailer tape I have on the lower filler panel under the bumper Good Daytime Comparison Shot.
Fellow Vanagonite, Dan Reed sent me this picture of his Vanagon after he installed the bigger wattage bulbs on the drivers side only--for the sake of comparing the stock firefly bulbs to the new units The difference is pretty obvious even durring the day light hours-- I for one, sure do enjoy the option of knowing that the guy coming up behind me can see what my intentons are--and this high wattage bulb update sure takes care of that.
Thanks Dan--!! Vanagon Big Amp Headlamp Relays I also have available genuine VW issue headlamp relay kits that will allow you to one of three things-- A Have your stock headlamps be brighter. B Be able to run bigger wattage headlamps without fear of burning up your wiring harness, or light switches-- C Allow the headlamps to get full current off of the battery directly.
All pre wired --all you have to do is plug them in--an easy and excellent update for your stock, or Big wattage headlamp bulb lighting system. Here is a front shot looking back at an inexpensive item--for you Vanagonites with automatic transmissions-- A trans oil cooler that glues onto the bottom of your trans pan, which will drop the trans oil temps by 30 degree's--which in turn will allow your engine to operate cooler, by not having to absorb as much heat that the transmission produces.
I made two of these --one for my Westfalia--and one for my GL--and the trans temps dropped 30 degree's--enough to drop the needle on my temp gauge to the bottom of the LED red coolant level indicator-- And this was all summer at 98 degree's--!!! Another quick, and easy solution, with excellent results, for a common Vanagon problem. Side Shot I painted the air scoop in red for the benifit of the picture's--I'll paint them in black for anyone else.
The scoop scavanges heat away from the trans pan, simply by having a mass amount of an air flow directed across the bottom surface of the metal pan--causing the trans to run cooler. Mine were running at degree's in the summer months which is an unwanted added temperature to the Van's cooling system, and will dramaticly extend the life of your transmission fluid, and transmission by simply making it run cooler-- This set up will take all of 15 minutes to mount Here is the only Vanagon Syncro item I have right now--and this was requested by several Syncronauts Here's the answer--a jack extension.
Close up showing the top of the Jack Extension With the broad 7" x 7" base the extension will keep the it from sinking--this has to be a big improvement from the Vanagon stock jack--especially in the sand and mud Front looking back with the Jack in Place. Vanagon HIgh Lift Jack Extension Here is a high lift jack extension that willl allow you to use the stock jacking points on any Vanagon, with a high lift jack. It will back the jack away from the Van and still be able to lift it without banging the vertical portion of the jack against the side of the Van.
It has a safety bolt that passes through the tongue of the jack to retain it. It's a Made in Germany, a WaxOyl type product, comes in easy to use spray cans--and is advertised as preventing corrosion on metal exposed to hours of constant salt spray-- How long will the interior of your doors and side panels be subjected to that much of a direct blast of salt? It does stink for a couple of days--but I sprayed it into the inside panels of both of my Vans-- and the Bus, Blew a heavy coat on the bottom side of all and It works very well, and sticks like glue.
It's similar to Waxoyl--a heavy waxed based product As of right now it's been on the vehicles for 7 years --and t hasn't budged--it's tough. I do really like this product. I didn't think I would ever have any tools listed in with the Westfalia parts--But I found this unique tool, used it, and was quite impressed. You set the shaft at the desired angle to start a spark plug in it's hole, insert the plug in the plug holder end, twist the top knob only to start the plug into the engine.
It's not like the typical plug installtion tool that is nothing more than a short piece of hose--that loses the desired angle--this stay's put till your done. It can be used to remove the plugs too--break them loose, slip the tool on the plug, and twist the knob--neat!!
This is the Plug Holder End Slip the spark plug insulator into the end--and it holds it till you have the plug started or removed. Please tell me where the parts are being shipped to.
