Re: CKWA/KWHA Part II
Just call Ronnie and get the 67 master and resevoir it is more correct than a bay master conversion. I hear you Ted. I've never bought anything from Ronnie before, but I should have considered that option. I did look at his website, but it doesn't look like he displays everything he has or can get....

Re: CKWA/KWHA Part II
Sean, you are sounding downright weary on this project. Take a much-needed mental health break, load up the Beetle, and bring the family and a tent out to Smittie's this weekend. Remember, Rome was not built in day. (It was built the night before it was DUE) I hear you Howie, but it's been 18 month...

Re: CKWA/KWHA Part II
Well, I found my missing bullet housings. I knew they'd turn up at some point. Many thanks to Gregg (21 Window) for offering me a pair off an old '58 he had. That lower one is a pristine passenger housing. Just what I need. Here they are... http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc134/gallareed/keoughsc...

Re: CKWA/KWHA Part II
If I get time this afternon I'll crawl underneath and deal with the fuel issue. The bus was so dirty from being in the garage all winter I cleaned it up today. I also decided to re-install the old mirrors that were on it. I'm no bus specialist, but I'm told these were offered in '59 as a dealer inst...

Re: Dan C's Peventative Maintenance
Great job guys. I remember Dan's bus being featured in that national auto magazine last year. It's a really nice bus. You really don't appreciate it unless you see it in person. Way to help out Ken! Glad to see the Meister Road lift is getting a good workout!
