Re: Walter the Dormobile

Replaced the coolant & hoses a while ago and last weekend decided to pull out the pedal boxes to overhaul the brake & clutch master cylinders. http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg594/cradley/Dormobile/DSCN3428_zpse8xuebig.jpg The steering column needs to come out next as most of the oil ha...

Thanks Michiel,

Re: Seat belts

My Dormie has never had seat belts but I'm aiming to fit some before my next trip.

There are a couple of holes and a mark on the frame where something ...
