Does anyone have a template or size diagram of the wood panels found in the engine bay?? Trying to make my life easier when l go to make replacements for a customers bus. In fact I'm just being lazy so l don't have to take measurements Cheers.
Yes that's it. Not so worried about the sound deadening as I have that sorted but was thinking about making a new hardboard cover as originally there for the bus.
Older buses have nice steel versions - I'd try and get some second hand ones - they're very good and the hardboard penny pinching versions are floppy rubbish. You can see them here:
type 4 engined busses with a hatch are different , copy the board ones on to a sheet of aluminium much better
As Birdy is asking the question for our engine - anyone able to advise what their purpose was / is? If it's going to have to be cut out of metal I want to know if it's worth the money?! Thanks...
Thanks - quick answer Paradox!! Stu - I leave it to your discretion - if we need it we need it - if it's just going to look pretty then maybe it can go on the list for a later date...
We took our orignial ones out the other day and put them on the garden fire, Minen Gotten (german for oh dear me, i think) the fire wouldn't of combusted any quicker if i had just poured petrol on it. Thankfully i took it out before the dreaded engine fire, because it was such a shock we are not replacing ours. My train of thought is one last thing to add to a fire
