Hey guys,
My name is Mike. I purchased an existing shop in the US a little over a year ago and turned hobby into part time business at the moment. Met a buddy named James in Queensland who has been a good friend and help to me and turned me on to you guys. I love beetles, ghias, type 3's, but really have a love for the split bus. Finally got down to working on a project and although I don't have a lot of time, am forcing myself to press forward and get this bus done so that I can drive it to an upcoming show in January. Ambitious goal, as you will see by the pics, but it's helping me to focus.
Hopefully, I will not anger the split bus/barndoor god's after you see the pics and get banned after my first post...haha. As you can see, not much of a purist but can appreciate those who are. I could really use some help with respect to the RHD assembly parts as we don't see many this way and there is limited information.
Thanks much

Jimmy was at our place the other day and took pics of a pedal assembly but we weren't sure exactly what you needed.
DSK is the place to ask about rhd pedal assemblies so fire away with questions I'm sure one of us can help.
Love your work ,

Re: New Member..first post
Yeah, he shot me some pics and they provided some insight. I will shoot some pics of what it is I am after. Basically, the bus I'm working on is being converted to RHD. I have an original RHD bus frame section and barndoor pedal assembly but need to know if there are bits missing. I purchased the bus with the parts so I am not sure what, if any, parts I need to complete. Thanks in advance for your help!Frogsta wrote:Jimmy was at our place the other day and took pics of a pedal assembly but we weren't sure exactly what you needed.
