I read on the samba where someone had relocated the heater hoses to the tunnel at the center of the fuel tank. Have any of you done that? ?It sure would free up some space in the opening where the

That’s good to know. I’ll pick one of those up before I start on the rear hanger. -- Warren 89 Westy 88 Tintop 70 Westy

I’m making a pipe hanger to which I can affix a stainless steel zip tie. ?I’ll drill a hole in the bit of steel where the straps normally go, then I’ll use a bolt with a smooth portion near the

Thanks, Wayne. I see from that thread that I am not alone with my RMW coolant pipe issues. I will purchase some stainless steel zip ties and give it a go. But as was mentioned that samba thread, I

Totally agree it’s so nice to get stuff out of boxes on to the van Nice work

Get rid of the bars and put two U-bolts into those hinges? to drop the clamshell down to fit a larger than stock spare.

I slipped marine exhaust hose over the ends further on from the metal ends and double clamped them with no problems.

It may be way but because its so shiny I am replacing things I would have otherwise lived with. I ordered a bunch of sensors at the dealer, the coolant bypass pipe, most of the hoses I changed to
