VW T25 Restoration products Purchased

List of the products that we have purchased to restore our VW T25 Westfalia

Most of the products on this page will be from Ali Express or Amazon. We find that the quality from Amazon.co.uk and Ali Express is around the same most of the time. However the price you normally pay on Amazon can be quite pricey compared to AE. If you can wait for around a week it is worth buying from Ali express.

If you need the items the next day then Amazon is a no brainer. If you can wait and the price is much better, wait for Ali Express. VAT is now added to your bill when you buy from them since we have Brexit. so do check the prices.

Affiliate links – We will be using affiliate links throughout this page. Should you decide to check out and buy any of the products that we use, we may get a small commission that we fully appreciate. This will help us to pay for the things that we do, and show on our website and youtube channel.

4pcs Magnetic Welding Fixer 45° 90° 135° Multi-angle Magnet Weld Positioner Ferrite Auxiliary Locator Tools

We bought some magnets for welding. We are not welders, and this will be our first vehicle that we will be attempting to weld. Magnets will help to hold the two items together when we are attempting to add the first couple of welds to the metal.

We saw these advertised by someone else on a youtube video and thought they were an excellent idea. We have also seen others who have used magnets as a way to hold two pieces of metal together for welding. This set comes with angles, so you can just use the set ablge should you want to weld two pieces of metal together at a certain angle.
