Shuttle Shenanigans

[archersam]

Carpet out to add the amp/sub combo so did a job I wasn’t planning on doing. Dodo the floor. Then got carried away ordered more and did the rear.

 

[archersam]

Out with the grey and in with the black lower dash trims.

Heater surround needing some modifying as switch surrounds are slightly different but comes apart easily enough.

 

[archersam]

Adding the BM6 and whilst at or adding supplementary fuse box - left three are fed from an ignition live inside the car and right three fed from the battery.

I’ve been collecting odds and sods from way far back and so the stack of Dewalt boxes contains all my electrical bits and bobs and it’s super handy to be able to just wheel it out.

And added in my stop start bypass thanks to a link from on here.

 

[archersam]

Added some inserts to the wheels.

Also added THQ v3 lights with LED bulbs, MOT station adjusted the beam pattern – one was a bit high and the other a bit low.

Added wheel spacers as the Devonports now looked lost and I didn’t want bigger rims. 20 Rear and 15 to the front

As a fellow 6.1 owner who feels the battery is a touch exposed where did you get the extra battery separator and cover from?

The large piece was on the vehicle when I bought it as every Transporter I have had has always had that bit as it bolts to the engine mounts.

The smaller segment at the front that sits over the OEM extra fuse box I got on ebay.

7H0915438A is the part number for the bit that bolts down to the engine mount - Volkswagen TRANSPORTER T5 2005 Battery Tray Surround 7H0915438A for sale online | eBay but do search as price varies.

7HO915 435 is the other bit. Side Battery Cover Volkswagen Transporter 03 > 7H0915435 New Genuine part | eBay

How it slots together. Just went outside to take this for you

 

[roadtripper]

Thanks that's above and beyond. I have the big size piece, it was the smaller side piece by the coolant tank and the top cover I was trying to find

Not entirely sure if in order but realised not updated since August.

Chameleon on the front and sides



I dont like any head unit Sat Nav and I tend to use the Garmin for the speed in GPS and the phone for Waze for navigation.



Slovak road trip - took the big monitor so could work effectively.



4th row seat brackets installed for variability in seat layouts.


Playing with purchases from ages ago

 

[archersam]

Dodo mat and recycled B&Q insulation.





Proving someone wrong that a twin from the mid row 2/1 will fit in the third row if you have the extra brackets in a LWB, albeit if you have Shuttle plastics or thick carpet it wont.

 

[archersam]

Road trip.




Adblue holder


European hands free filling gadget for UK petrol stations.

Blow out in France after 9 hour drive.

 

[archersam]

Another road trip, a famous corner and Restaurant.




Added some plastic coated metal conduit to protect the wires from inadvertent squishing when seats moved




New discs and pads. Pads nowhere near as worn as VW suggested they were. Scaremongers.

 

[archersam]

Laguna B cupholder inspired from someone on here.




Laguna dashboard cupholder for an extra secret holder


Road trip at Xmas



Ooops......





Ground was a bit soggy and couldnt get out.
