have you got R14 standard wheels on? if so what tyres did you manage to find, i spoke to a few tyre places and the only lower pro tyres they have are car tyres not van tyres.

hi all, apparantly the way to do it is to release a ball joint on either side from the wheel drums/ back plate. this then allows each torsion bar to be moved seperately. Ive recently replaced a ball joint and they are v diff to sperate. you need to remove the nut from the ball joint then shock...

I couldnt shift mine either ,even with a long piece of timber as a lever. i gave up and left it as it is. the guy who fitted mine has adjusted them before but theres more to it. I think you need a ball joint of or something.

thanks again, will try the gas shocks first and if its still not happy il raise it up.

cheers ,can you do one side of the bus at a time or do you need to get the hole front end jacked up? ta

Hi, whats the method for adjusting the front beam. the bus has been lowered and had beam adjusters fitted, but i may raise it a touch if its easy enough. Theres an adjuster on each tube. Also new oil shocks have been fitted but they seem soft. I have the old kyb gas adjusters which could go back...

thanks for that, will have a go asap.

ive a light brown rear bench seat out of a 1970 delux bay. Its in scarborough north yorks. good con, no tears. Only fault is some paint has been spilt on it but i think you' l get it off ok. £20.

cheers for that, what about the openable 1/4 lights in the rear side windows ,can they stay in while you change the seal? they dont have rivets as the front pair do but are somehow fixed top and bottom and pivot. thanks again.

hi, my 70 delux has opening 1/4 lights down both sides, they leak a lot, will new seals sort the problem or do they always leak. also how do you fit em. tar
