Well after much hard work to get our 76 bus perfect and some great help from all here ( MattBerry and others) - we had the worst case scenario happen.
6 months after finally getting through all of the issues, our bus had a fuel leak just after the fuel rail going into injector 4. We were traveling at the time, it was a real hot day and as soon as we stopped at a roundabout in traffic - the fuel ignited and it was game over.
We managed to save the kids and surfboards :-)
Thanks to loads of people around in cars and the help of a very cool tow truck driver we were able to extinguish the flames before it took the whole car.
So now I begin again looking for Any EFI parts that will help get the bus going again. At first I didn't think it was possible - but a mate that is eternally optimistic swears we can.
Apparently when we were getting out of the bus, I told my wife to film it on the phone - I don't remember it but she swears I did. So here is a little movie and a tribute to our bus -
If there is anyone out there with EFI Parts - would love to hear from you

Oh and to add injury to insult - I let my shannons insurance expire a few months earlier !!!! (yep I know, I know ... )
Cheers
Matt
