I am after some help please.
I am in the process of rebuilding the rock-n-roll bed in my 1971 Kombi Sopru Campmobile. When I got the vehicle some years ago the old Sopru interior fittings were in a poor state. I completely gutted the interior, putting salvageable items in storage and discarding much of the collapsed & rotting timber work. Although I took many photos before dismantling items – it is never enough!!
Now, some years later, I am in the process of reassembling the metal linkages that allow the rock-n-roll bed to be raised & pulled forward. I think I have most of it worked out, but I have a few spare bits of metal (arms & angle iron sections) that I am not sure about!!
Has anyone on this Forum been through the process of rebuilding an old Sopru rock-n-roll bed and able to share any helpful information?
If anyone had any photos of the assembled linkage mechanism and supports under the bed, that would be very much appreciated.
When I was researching this a few weeks ago I discovered several good threads on Rock-n-roll beds on the previous Kombi Club Form. I save links to these threads, but of course these links no longer work. In particular http://forums.kombiclub.com/threads/inte...ign.10763/ - was very good as I recall.
