Finally got my wipers fitted, with the new grommes in place. After a bit of a fuss I even got them to park in the right place everytime.

Started to fit my Deluxe trim, Lot of work, I started by working out how many clips to use per piece & where each piece goes.
measured the middle of each panel & measured in 30mm from the outside edge. I used the rin gutter as a reference point & drew a line down to the centre point of the buldge. I then marked it all out right around the bus.
The next job was to stick on the clips & check their aligmment. I found that I needed to drop them all by a few mm so the line fell inside the top clip groove. After doing this it worked out well I just had to leave the adhesive dry over night.

I stuck all the trim on today & am pleased to say it lines up well. The only issue is the rear corners which aren't quite curved enough, these pulled the clips off so I'll have to have a think about it try something else:-

Right I wasn't 100% happy with the chrome trim so I pulled it all off againdrilled the frontmost hole & ran a string line to the back pinged it & it left a nice blue chalk line all the way down the side, I then drilled a hole for every clip 77 of them. Shocked

I then sprayed waxoyl on the holes & riveted 3.2mm rivets on to hold the clips. now it looks awsome, the trim stits flush on the body work & I know its not going to fall off. The only trouble I cant get the corners to fit as the shape seems wrong, I'll have to phone them on Monday to check I got the right ones. :?

Went to fit my No. plate but there are only two holes in the engine lid, different to Chug Chug so I need to find a different way to fit the plate:-

Decided this morning to fit my rear Jail bars, now the standard instructions arn't very good so I decided to do my own:-
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars15

First jpb is to open the rear hatch & move the curtains & rail out of the way (If you have them). Put a piece of masking tape on the metal under the window rubber around the middle of the panel.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars

Measure from edge to edge of the hatch & mark the centre. Now measure from one side to the centre & then the other. Your mark should be an equal distace from the end.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars1

I made it exactly 24" You can use metric or inches but I've chosen inches because it was exactly 48" from edge to edge.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars2


When your happy place the centre bar in possition & mark out its hole positions, now drill out the holes with a 2.5mm drill bit.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars3

Now you can remove the masking tape.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars4

Make sure to protect the area from rust developing by coating with wax (Waxoyl or similar)
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars5

You can now screw your centre bracket in place, make sure you use a good fitting screw driver to avoid damageing the screws, in my case this was a No.2 Philips driver.

You will notice that the two bars are slightly different lengths.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars8

The short one goes at the top of the glass (with the tail gate closed) so fit these now.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars9

Measure from the bottom edge of the glass aperture to the centre of the jail bar, you will note that it is exactly 3"
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars11

This distance must be the same at either end. again put making tape on the bit your marking, if its out adjust acordingly.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars10

Once you've marked the holes & drilled you can remove the masking take before wax protecting & fixing in possition.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars12

If you don't use masking take & the drill goes in to far you'll damage the paint work, luckily for me I only damaged the take.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 RearJailbars13

Once the bottom bar is done do the same to the top bar again there is a 3" gap between the top & bottom bars. Once finished the bars should be parallel & level all the way from one end to the other, you can then admire your handy work:-

With the side Jail Bars no instructionsat all were given so its a case of working it all out.
I remember with Chug Chug I tried to keep the same height as the rear but to me they always looked a bit shallow, so I decided to disregard the rear ones & fit them at the angle I would like.
One obstacle in the way is the rear seatbelt, so I've brought the bars further back to compensate.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 SideJailBars


Again mark with masking tape.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 SideJailBars2

Once I fitted the longest bar it was just a case of spaceing the shorter bar 3" away, marking & fixing it.

The hard part will be doing the other side for 2 reasons:-
1.) It needs to be symetrical.
2.) There is a cupboard in the way which may stop the fitment alltogether.

Because the jailbar brackets have covered up the holes for the curtain tiebacks 've had to drill 2 new ones so thats done.

First I got to get the old adhesive off.
Milly the 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe - Page 4 NoPlate

Wow, I love this thread! Mint bus, great info and quality work! Particularly like the excessive use of photos and pics of random Christmas pressies lol. Funnily enough I got that little campervan book and a couple of mugs too!

Any joy getting the chrome trim sorted on the corners
