Looking at what other people are doing and thinking about my folding caravan. @rickyroo1 I love doombar

 

Iv only got an anti roll bar to fit as I can't ruddy do it !! Then maybe a Tlb game of cricket with the kids and lunch from the @poptopkitchen and then more larger

 

Do the fitting kits have black, or plated brackets?

 

Bought the black ones bud as u advised !! The good vw heritage ones !! God bows what I'm doing wrong !! If if got the bushes right lol !! Is there a nack iv never seen one or had one so I'm going off Bentley (but not clear ) and a few pics iv found on net

 

Two or three pairs of moles grips to slowly squeeze them together and then slide the slider on

 

Is the front ARB a good thing to upgrade?

 

No idea never had one.....

 

New rubbers and clamps will be a good idea. As for an uprated one i am not sure of the benefit tbh, stiffening the cornering? Also arb is good for helping with getting blown around

 

I did hear it makes crosswinds worse!

 

Oh right.

 

I'll be in attendance now, and trying to fit x2 cab doors and everything that goes with it! Can someone advise what seals will be best?

Sure there will be a few ciders for good measure!

Wigglesworth - attempting to fit a JK reversing light fitting kit (unless someone knows of something better?), watching & taking notes on any welding or handbrake/brake shenanigans.

 

I can do some more to order

 

Quite the opposite actually. I have a HD ARB on the front axle of my bus and it makes it much better in adverse weather.

 

Really?
If that's the case, I might order one in time for Techenders.

 

We can fit em together !! Mine is all that's on my list so far !!

 

Iv just fitted the grey powder type from custom and Comersial £45 a pop just for cab door seals !! I bought 1 and still have the other repro Silence on driver side and no drafts but on the other can see the road in places so I'll be buying another at volksworld !!

 

You're on.
Did you buy the more expensive bush clamps?

 

I bought the slightly more expensive flange clamps
