this is a very rough idea for fixing the front beam end plates - granted you may want some longer bolts [10.8 hardened ones?] other than the way the bottom shock mount will be rectified the front isn't as bad as you think, depending on the quality of the dropped spindles and beam...do you...

So normally there should be an arm off of the front beam that acts as a top mount for shock right? but this beam doesn't have that - is that cause its a splitty beam? Is it ok to weld the top shock bracket to top of inner arch if its done properly then? I'm not in a rush to get it sorted-the bus...

I got th bus for what i recon was a really good price so suspected a not so great job on the lowering to be done - but really i want some advice on where to go from here? I'm not so sure about the suspension being welded to inner arch - whats all that about?

ok so managed to get a camera and take some pics of front and rear set up - looks a bit dodgy! can anyone tell me from these pics what the hells going on here!? Drove the van around the warehouse a few times trying to loosen up the brakes which has made a noticeable difference already - the...

Picked up my early deluxe import on wednesday from southampton port - had a friend with some trade plates so set off in it to brighton. Straight away realised we wern't going to make it! the main issue was the brakes - pulling so hard to left when braking just slightly - but thats probably a...

Its good that if i can get a letter of origin then i will pay 50 quid duty but if not its 10% of vehicle cost - 300 quid! so then not so happy. do you pay 20% vat on shipping/cost of vehicle duty/handling fees each end - everything? I'll look again through previous threads on it but i'm...

to be honest i'm not sure i've got anyone looking after things this end??!! I have used Rinkens international from Long Beach - they have told me that the carrier's destination agent in Southampton port is: Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics so i suppose i contact them - sending them the title...

I received the original Title and Bill of Lading in the post today for my 1968 deluxe on its way over from California. What if anything can i be doing regarding the registering of the vehicle now i have the title? What do i do next?! I presume i take the title to port to collect the bus? any...

excellent - gotta say this whole importing a bus thing has not been stress free - but i'm sure its going to be worth it! hard at work!! cant believe they've loaded it up that heavy! loading up ob way to port - already counting down the days till arrival in UK :mrgreen:

bought a bus ...its at port waiting..just got a copy of full title and noticed registration expire date was 2008 - is this going to make problems registering in UK??!!

Hi.. I've recently bought a 68 deluxe and cant seem to work out if its a 'real' deluxe or not. quite a few threads on here and have gone through them all but still confused! 228116896 it IS a left hand drive from california..It does have what looks like a 68 rear view mirror...all the window...

"the right people = CFR for Shipping, Kingstown to handle it this side (then it goes to Imorex who know what they are doing) you will be OK" Do i need to contact each of the above and arrange each step? I was just aranging the seller in US to deliver to port - to the shippers warehouse...

cheers for the reassurance graham.. CFR? - does this just mean cost & freight? or is this a particular shipping company? Kingstown - are these guys the best? I was going to ship with Rinkens International - anyone have any experience with these guys? when you say use Kingstown for sorting...
