Installing flaps on 71 T2

Only if you can get the shroud of the engine in situ. Don't know if that's doable in a bus.

Dang.

You can get it up enough to get the alternator in and out - dunno about flaps - never tried. You can also do a lot of things by dropping the engine out and down a bit, without removing it completely from under the bus, which is always the hardest part on a later bus without the removeable back bit inside the bumper.

I have a 68 Bus and I have replaced the thermostat rod on my bus without removing the engine but it was a huge pain in the ass. I had to remove the alternator, fan, accel cable and tube, carbureator, air cleaner and I think the alternator pedestal too. Was difficult to pull up and keep the shroud up without it scraping the oil cooler and possibly damaging it. You may just want to pop the engine out and service anything else you may need while you are in there too like checking the oil cooler, head and case nuts' torque, tranny seal etc. Good luck

No.
