    Take a picture from further away, what years your van? That looks like a beetle tin
     
  3. I couldn't figure it out either....you have the cylinder shrouds either side, the breast plate behind the pulley, the rear tin (closest to the bumper) and the front tin that loops round the back of the fan shroud...that should be it as far as visible top side tinware goes....also, where the fan duct (RHS) goes through the tin, you have a stepped section....this isn't standard fayre on a bus....think Davidoft is right

    ask @poptop2 ...he's been playing with bugs recently
     
  4. I reckon you've got rear Beetle tin as well. Shouldn't be anything actually missing on bus tin.
     
  5. Also , the thread for your fuel pump stud looks like its too short ??? Replace the jubilee clips with proper fuel pipe clips as well :):thumbsup:
     
  6. just cut a bit of steel and fill the hole
     
  7. Thanks everyone for your input. I was thinking of just "making" a piece out of tin and fitting it using the thread holes available, think ill just do that..
    As for the short pump stud, never spotted that so better take a look there too. The fuel lines were actually replaced by Jez dyke @ Dubtricks in Harrogate latelast year, they put the jubilee clip son so I assumed it was OK ??
    thanks everyone
     
  8. Oh PS its a 79 late Bay Devon double top
