I love to see my name in PRINT! The 1991 CDN syncro Westy had had an engine fire, and the guy who rescued it from the junk yard put a carb on it during the rebuild. I bought it, and got my hands on a REAL European carb intake manifold and then bought a Weber progressive carb and had an adapter plate made. That van was the BEST running van I've ever had . I sold it when I had a chance to buy a real Syncro 16' Dehler camper conversion from Germany. Imported the van to Canada (It's LEGAL in Canada now) I substituted a Reimo camper conversion on the inside, and a Bostig Zetec in the back. I was going to import the van to Morocco (where I now live) but the import duties are HUGE so the van is FOR SALE and is in Belgium waiting for a buyer. It runs great. My plans are to buy a NEW T5.5 and have it camperized. I hope that sets the record straight. I'm glad that dropped in on this thread! :-) Malcolm >________________________________ >From: Stephen Grisanti <bike2vcu@YAHOO.COM> > >Malcolm's was a European-market Dehler conversion, if I recall correctly, and I think he took it with him when he moved to Morocco. Karl Mullendore had one like it for sale when I bought my Westy and I still kick myself for not checking that one out when I was shopping.
