If the material was not unobtainium it would be simple. That material is very rare and to have it in a NA spec Westy is even rarer. Brad's bus was a tourist delivery vehicle and has slight differences to a US delivered Westy, the interior color being one of them.

Ted knows his stuff so take it to the bank it'll be hard to find. I checked this earlier thread from the site hoping it might offer some help...

Even if she ever had any, it looks like her ad is down. Maybe ask Jim (hosedragger) about the British club to see if anyone over there has any.

It still wouldn't hurt to send Bill Webner a "pm" on this site.

Hey Brad,
Just wondering if you've had a chance to take a pic of the rack tag yet??
Thanks in advance.

I tried to get one of the tag but it didnt come out good...I just cleaned the tag off on the westy hitch on Monday I'll try to get them for you soon. What exactly do you need to know about it?

Smallish update

Rehung the curtains tonight.
Image


My bungee's were stretched out so I managed to carefully unbend the brass crimps at one end and tighten them up so they would hold the curtains closed. You can see how much I shortened this one

Image

My forward cargo doors bugee was broken. So I stole the unfaded one from my closet window, I'll replace the closet one with a new one later on. The one from the closet was perfect and unfaded. Brass was also untarnished.

Image

Detail of the pattern

Image

While in the closet I decided to flip the curtains as the outside was very very faded. These were not removed and stored in the back cabinet like the rest.

My somewhat less greasy engine compartment...still needs more cleaning work done

cleaned up the engine tins
