If you go to a brake shop and ask for Bundy tube, they should be able to provide the right stuff for the clutch and accelerator. I got some a while back for my 65 Devon from Parramatta Brake & Clutch Service.so still need to replace the handbrake, choke and accelerator tubes, any tips there? just get some steel tubes from somewhere, or do i need something very specific?
I’ve always wondered about those and what they are like. I’ve been hunting a round ceramic heater that could be mounted inline with the heater tube, can’t find much.matara wrote:If you go to a brake shop and ask for Bundy tube, they should be able to provide the right stuff for the clutch and accelerator.

Also I have a small diesel heater I bought last winter from ebay similar to this one https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Diesel-Air- ... 3053370503
You can have it for $70, only fired it up about 3 times. I think they are a touch too noisy for installing under a bus, but your welcome to have a listen first.

thanks for that Steve, will sus out those tubes.. will have a think about that heater for this bus, id have to break down that case, not a problem tho.., they are bloody brilliant, mines setup as a 'portable' kit for now, see photo, you can see the tube feeding into the back of the bus, the heater itself just sounds like a fan, the 'noisy' bit is generally the ticking of the diesel pump, i have a few solutions around this to silence it, have been researching for a while, as a reference I can keep the van very bloody toasty off grid, the diesel lasts a very long time. (about 200ml per hour, 5l tank) - in this photo it was about one degree outside, and the van was toasty as.. i also use a T piece and run it to the teardrop trailer too, however i'll probably hardwire one in this van, and one for the trailer moving forward. I know of a few peeps running them in busses, straight into the heater tube, however I plan to put in a butterfly valve and vents to feed the cabin while driving, and the rear when parked up.D-Train wrote:I’ve always wondered about those and what they are like.
