T3 Waterbox Conrods – Complete set of 4

Now in stock, complete with rod bolts, nuts and little end bearings.

Genuine VW New Old Stock.
Some things we’d prefer to sell a new version instead of one thats been sitting on a shelf degrading for 30 years, but things like this… well there really is no substitute for the originals, and its not like there is anything here that will have weakened with age.
They still have the lovely sticky oil coating applied by the manufacturer 🙂

Waste Water Tank Caps – T3 Westfalia

As a workshop we fix the stuff we sell parts for… and there is nothing worse than having the dregs of a  customers dirty dish water dripping on you as you walk under the ramp.

On a Westfalia its either a missing or damaged drain tap, or the large cap missing or not sealing.

We now have both in stock at a great price… so if you send your Westy in for repair with a leaky/missing one, don’t be surprised if it gets replaced 😀

We’ve had these particular brake pipes sat in a box awaiting the opportunity to trial fit them. Brand new steel, copper coated, epoxy covered pre bent and flared with the correct fittings.
Made exclusively for us by an OEM supplier to all the car brands you’re bothered about. Using original samples these pipes are perfect for those who want to achieve a perfect replacement pipe without the hassle of bending and flaring your own. Saves time as you can just fit from the box. Made using original samples.
Now we know the fit is good we’ll add these syncro items to our growing range of pre bent pipes very soon.

T3 2 Wheel Drive Lift Kit – Final testing

The first batch landed, and we’ve test fitted them.
Shaking down for a week or 2 and then we’ll set the wheel alignment and they’ll be available to buy.

Initial reaction when coupled with our own gas adjustable lengthened dampers is excellent.

*** Update ***
These are now in stock. Currently on our 3rd batch and we’ve had nothing but a positive response, especially from people swapping from other kits. Which is good to hear.

T3 Diesel Sumps… Imminent!

Given the popularity of inline 4 cylinder conversions for the T3, both Petrol and Diesel, it was a worry when the Genuine VW ones went obsolete last year.

Once they were confirmed as permanently obsolete by VW in Germany we spoke to JP Group in Denmark about the possibility of reproducing them, and they were happy to oblige.

Its taken a while, as these things always do, but they will be available again in January 2016. Quality appears to be excellent and as always with JP Group, the price is very keen.

As a company who specialises in older vehicles, its not just in our interests to stock and sell available parts, but also to try and make sure wherever possible that the important stuff is available for the future once its made obsolete.
That way we can keep fixing them, and you can keep driving them.
And it’s great that companies like JP Group have the same interest in keeping them going as we do.

The sumps wont be available to order yet, as we try not to take peoples money for things we don’t have, but you can subscribe to the “back in stock notification” on the product link and we’ll notify you when they land.
