Hello, So here goes for a first post on TLB... We have taken the plunge and bought a 1979 Westfalia Berlin and have made some lovely new curtains, but we are now looking for a pattern so we can make the front cab curtain that fixes onto the pop studs around the front cab area. I used to have a Helsinki conversion may years ago, complete with a one-piece curtain that fixed on pop studs around the two front cab windows and the windscreen. Does anyone have one of these? If so, could anyone share the measurements for the curtain and give any photos? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ian
Yup I do. Currently leant out for someone else to make one. When I get it back I can do it for you. Or if you pay postage I'll send it down for you to copy and send back. Not sure when I'll get it back. Someone else on here can probably help you out quicker.
That would be fantastic - thanks! Let me know when you get it back and we'll take it from there... But if anyone else has a pattern in the meantime, then please get in touch. This forum thing really seems to work!
No news yet from anyone else about that curtain... Without meaning to be a pain, could you please let me know when you get it back and it is available to copy? Thanks! Ian
I have one that I made myself. We used the Westy poppers that were already in place and just measured between them then cut a LONG piece of material and attached said poppers to this curtain. You will need about 3 metres of material from memory. I think it would be safer for you to do your own measurements if you have the poppers in place, or if not then just buy some from a haberdashery and screw on yourself. If you need me to I will try and photo, measure etc tomorrow
