hi, I have the same problem but with the front wheels.
Mine is lowered with wagenswest lowered spindles, running on stock 185/80 R14 tires and stock shocks.
Maybe I will change the front tires to 185/60 R14.
what year is your early bay?
My bus is from august 1970, and it already has 3 extra (unused) brackets.
When I mount the laterbay/golf I lights in these brackets the headlight is fitting to much outside (to the front)
I would like to upgrade the headlights with some H4-halogens.
Did someone installed H4-healights in his earlybay?
If yes, how did you do it?
Or is there a conversionkit to switch from bulbs to H4's but still fits in the original headlight?
yesterday we've stripped the exhaust....so now it's ready for some new paint and we hope it will last longer .....
also fixed the heat exchanger problem with a new piece of pipe and some RTV SILICONE sealant....
we need to redo some wiring....
