The ultimate replacement refrigerator for the Vanagon Westfalia! No more worries about propane or keeping the old Dometic fridge lit, no worries about spoiled food (or warm sodas or beer!) This is a modern fridge manufactured in Italy by Vitrifrigo. It uses a Danfoss compressor, which is far superior to the 'swing' compressor used by Norcold and other companies. The compressor operates super-quietly, the only thing you hear is a small cooling fan when it is running, which is barely audible! Capacity is 1.8 cubic-feet. It has an interior light that automatically turns on when the door is open, and operates on 12, 24, 110, or 230 volt current! Current draw on 12 volt is 2.8 amps, but it runs so infrequently that it can operate for almost a week on an 100 amp-hour deep-cycle battery. (Optimas are about half this capacity) The fridge has about twice the usable space of the original Westy fridge, and a real freezer section with flap to retain the contents. The door is reversible and has a smooth-operating latch in addition to a magnetic perimeter seal.

The Vitrifrigo C51iSAC is a handsome unit that will blend well to the Westfalia interior. Please click here for ordering and installation details: Fridge purchase details and installation help

NEW direct-fit alloy wheels available: It seems the South African 15" alloy wheel supply has finally dried up, so the company formerly importing those is now having custom wheels produced in Asia, in both 15" x 6.5" and 16" x 7" sizes, perfect offset of ET35. The wheels are cast aluminum construction with bright silver painted surface.

The 15" wheels are $149 each, 16" wheels $169 each, includes center caps. Shipping additional. Email for a shipping quote to your location. parts at westyventures.com

Introducing the new conversion starter adaptor! This is what a lot of folks have been waiting for: Most adaptor-plate conversions use the 'Hi-Torque' IMI starter. These have been proven to fail frequently and not really have enough speed OR torque to start most high-compression engines, especially the diesels. I have developed this adaptor to utilize the commonly available, powerful and reliable starter from the 1996-2003 manual-trans VW TDI cars, making it an easy bolt-on to the waterboxer manual-trans bell housing. (Not for automatics-yet). The starter itself is a gear-reduction type starter and is slightly longer than the stock wbx starter, and has a self-supporting shaft, no longer requiring the pilot bushing to center the shaft. On Syncro applications with locker, a 3/4" notch will be required in the diff-lock bracket, and you must have the longer (2.25") type bracket (photo below). Sorry, will not work with the short bracket. This adaptor will work with all conversions using a Kennedy or Tiico engine adaptor and stock-diameter ring gear.
