Sparkywig, my stance is almost identical to yours, (bus!), would the track be slightly wider on mine as its a '72 with disks?
Ianscooby, the wheels were on when I bought it so no idea whose version they are! Is there a way of telling?
Cheers,

Thanks for the quick replies.
All was fine with the lipped arches before, I guess either pulling the arch slightly or maybe taking as much as I can off the inner lip might help!
I could do with some new tyres soon so I think some narrower ones are a good shout! Thanks again for the advice. :)...
Hi guys,
I've just replaced the complete front arches on my crossover with the early arches without the lip. I'm currently running BRM's with 185/65/15 tyres and now I have some clearance issues! The tyres will catch the inside lip of the arch when I'm pothole hunting! My beam is lowered on...
I've just replaced both of mine with repro ones from heritage. As said above they didn't fit perfectly but managed to get them pretty good in the end. Obviously the metal is thinner than an original cut too. I guess it might not be the arch that is a bad fit but the rest of the bus from years of...
Definately looks like Niagra blue to me. I got some celly in this colour a few weeks back from Autopaint in St.Helens (mail order), and it was a good match.

Just on the off-chance does anyone know the length of the long front to back brake pipe on a '72 bay and the size of the unions? I'm about to order one and don't really fancy swimming in the puddle under the bus! Damn rain!
Many thanks,
Matt
I ordered pretty much all the same parts you've listed there a short while ago, mostly from JK. £5 next day delivery and not too much manipulating to get to fit!
Hi guys,
Does anyone know of a place that I could get some RHD lenses for a 1972 from? I've been told that they have recently been discontinued so second hand could be the option? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt
Got mine set up as sparky has mentioned, also run the ipod charger into the switch, (both mounted in the glove box), and hey presto, you're charging as you're listening!! :)
