Great build thread @DubHaus hope you are on the mend.

I didn’t know the cruise went up in 1mph increments by using the set and res buttons either

@t6blo cheers Loving it.

On the mend thanks and taking it easy.

Trying to do little bits to keep myself busy, but note to self, don’t use sharp instruments whilst on blood thinners

@david173 Amazing really clear, definitely worth the money! Hopefully I'll be fit enough in the next week or two to install the matching Sub.

awesome, hope your also on the mend!
really like the audi fabric. does it have some give in it to form the pillar shape or was it tricky?
whats your plan with the grab handles?

Really like the A pillar fabric choice. Nice to see something different from the usual alcantara/suede flex etc.

Do they do the speaker upgrade for a T6

 

[DubHaus]

My Brother in Law gave me a hand to finish off the heater install. So much easier on a ramp

T Piece into return line


Pump mounted


Ignore fuel line, changed my mind where to locate pump

@david173 Yes, on the mend and bouncing back thanks

Yes, the fabric has some give and stretch and seems to form around the contours fairly well. I went for the A Post first as it's probably the most complicated in terms of shape and contours and it works well so hopefully the rest should be OK too.

Grab Handles, I'm looking for the Charcoal / Black ones from VW or TPS. Part Numbers are the same as the ones on there already but prefixed 7h0 not 7e0. I'll post back when I've had some luck in getting hold of them

@The Van Cave Thanks It's very similar to the fabric in the Mk6 Golf GTI (probably the same!) and I really loved the interior of mine

glad you are.

thank you i'm tempted to shamelessly copy... good idea would be good to hear if you can source them, if not I guess you could spray the moonrock ones black as a backup option.

keep up the mods and the build thread, enjoy seeing it coming along

Cheers @david173 I think I've sourced a pair of T5 Black A Post Grab Handles, but not 100% definite! I'll keep you posted.

Well they say that imitation is the highest form of flattery I got my headliner material from Fabric UK >> This One << and I used the Dodomat high temp contact adhesive to fix it to the panels

 

[DubHaus]

A few more bits arrived




And managed to get hold of one rear seat belt trim

 

[DubHaus]

Popped down to see the lads at OVANO for one of their Switch Narrow Systems




Very happy with it Picked up the Forty Winks Mattress too and spent last night down on the Jurassic Coast, Swanage, and had a great nights sleep

 

[DubHaus]

Cab headliner finally out!



and I thought I’d lake a look at ambient lighting in the overhead console



Now I’m not so sure this is going to fit



Hmmmm…..

 

[DubHaus]

So I think that’s the ambient lighting sorted, seems to be ok inside, just need to try it out in the van

 

[DubHaus]

Now to try and sort black buttons! Seems that the MK7 Golf ones are a lot bigger!

Back to the drawing board
