Enlarging the VW Hat

Well, I have a BIG head so the VW Hat my sister knitted me was too small.

She was over last night and enlarged it to fit.


Fits now and is more awesome than before.

Connecting the Wire Loom on the Bulk Head

Previously I installed a 9 wire electrical loom from the engine compartment to the front of the bus. I also installed a bulk head for electrical components like the Terminal Block for the wire loom.

Today I mounted the terminal block on the front of the electrical bulk head. 

Because I wanted to take up little room on the front AND I like using grommets, I drilled a hole in the bulk head and installed a grommet.


Here's the wires pulled through:


Now, the thing I should have done when starting this whole project was to label the wires first. That way, when I have 'em at either end of the bus I wouldn't have to try and figure them out. BUT, I didn't. So, I had to use my meter to figure out which wire was which. Basically I have a long wire with alligator clips at either end to test the continuity.


Even though I had mounted it already, I undid that and mounted the wires on the block. also was easier to tuck them away. In retrospect, I probably should have put the hole and grommet a little further away.


Here's the final mounted Terminal Block.


I plan to use this for an auxiliary reverse light and a couple gauges I need to install. Those will be in upcoming posts.

Girls and Bays

This is photobucket collection dedicated to pictures of girls with bay window buses. The site originated from a thread that used to be on The Samba but because too hard to keep clean. Thus this was started.

If you have your own pics and you want to send to me OR just the link, that would be cool.

For some reason I thought the above pic was one of the best of the ones in the collection.
