Post by: seahwk51 on June 21, 2011, 01:16:00 PM

Looking to buy window screens for louvered windows in 74 westfalia but believe any year from 73-79 should fit.
Also looking for a stock radio for same bus .
Any leads appreciated !

The Samba is your friend for info on the radio items.  Here is a link to a 74 Canadian Accessories brochure (pg.3 has the radios):

I bought a 74 P21 Westfalia and the dealer (Guildford VW) also sold Blaupunct stereo cassettes as an option.  They installed a CR-4075 and 2 speakers (front lower doors).  I think that model was available from 73-75.  Cost was $400.  Still have the radio and no, it is not for sale.  There are lots of AM push button radios still around.

With respect to the screens check with steveo_32 on this site.  I think he has a couple.  Screens may need replacing but if I recall the frames are ok.  I removed the camper interior from the unit and I believe the screens were still there.

Good luck.
