Hi Stan, Poor Richard Palmer has done this exact transplant. You can find details and some pics here: http://www.type2.com/library/camper/splitpop.htm Looks like it requires some considerable fabrication and welding skills, but it can most definitely be done.

Any chance that the Pop top from a 75 Bay window bus would fit a 66 Splittie? I've located a decent pop top on a 75 Bus and was just wondering if this would be a possible upgrade for my Splittie. Anybody out there done this before? Stan Wilder 83 Air Cooled Westfalia |
