hi where do you good people who run twin carbs (weber idf's in my case) take the vacuum from for the servo? do i need special manifolds or just drill and port the normal ones? do i need a take off from both carbs? also does the fuel line need to be even length from each carb to the T piece...

at the moment its stock on the splines with stock lengh shocks, it was down one outer plus the horseshoes, put it back up coz of the drive shaft issue, running short kyb shocks, cant remember the length i brought. no bumpstops at all on the back to remove the rear wheels its a real bugger to...

the cutter i used was 18 quid then had to buy the middle attachment bit as i had nothing and that was 19 quid! as for the horse shoe plates i managed to buy a pair second hand but new and never used from "slammed" on here, paid either 60 or 65 quid for them (cant remember!), i have no idea how...

well impressive, must admit i wouldnt have had the enthusiasm to take on such a project, hat off to you. 8) iv just brought an 83mm hole cutter to clearence the chassis for the drive shaft, what a job, mines not as neat as yours, plus at a cost of 37 quid i expected the hole cutter to still be...

axl: yours does look sweet, gonna price up those sizes in a minute. easy: thanks for the link, loads of awesome busses there, definately some inspireation. thanks andrew

hi, what size tyres are you all using on your slammed bays? just some 5.5x15" alloys for my 72 bay, its gonna be down 1 spline plus horse shoes on the rear and as low as the adjusters will allow on the front :) thinking about some slightly narrower fronts to rears btw the bay has full...

thats a relief, reckon it must be spot on!! :)

I think im all sorted now, thanks for the reply. i hadnt slackened them but have now :oops: how far should the handbrake come out before it locks the rear wheels (fully on)?

as above, iv fitted new shoes and clips etc, retained the hand brake cables, adjusted the shoes out to the drum, then went to adjust the hand brake and i cant get it to lock the wheels firm, its probably the most simple task but im struggling :oops: brake pedal feels good under foot just i...

thanks for posting the pics it would look sweet running around that low.... hmmm he ponders :D looks like thats an after the mot job for me!

yeah mine has ruined the c.v boots and greased the chassis nicely. i look forward to the pictures :D

i had the same problem, cured by replacing both the switches on the master cylinder :D

it is indeed a cross over, and yep it did have flared arches, that is until i replaced them with flat lips! i raised the suspension one spline on the rear so now i think its only lowered by the horse shoe plates, it does drive soo much better although it has more roll than a bakery :lol: so...

hi thanks for the kind words about my bay, as for the green one.....sweet as, i wsh mine was that low!! as for the arches on mine it was a school boy error, i ordered all the wrong arches didnt get round to fitting them for ages after then couldnt return them so on they went, i do prefer the...

hi, my bay is down 1 spline on the rear plus has wagenswest horse shoes fitted, with kyb gas shocks on all 4 corners, the problem i have is that the drive shafts are fouling the chassis, its not the lowest van out there by a long way so does that mean all the other slammed vans have had their...

thanks for the replies, hoping to investigate it tonite, the rear light assemblies and bulbs are all pretty new but can well imagine that there's corrosion on the contacts already, is there a diagram any where which will show all the earthing points on a 72 era bay?

Hi every body, i have a 72 cross over, whith type 1 power. while driving day light hours (lights off) all is ok, with lights off brake lights are working fine at night (lights on) all ok for a short while say couple of miles then the orange brake circuit warning light comes on, then when i...

just watched that, absolutely brilliant, still chuckling now!! :lol:

didn't think we got any shots of the van on our wedding day in september but luckily some one did!! shame about my brother in law ruining this one!! and obviously my best man as the chauffeur!! get in!! and we're off!

6 foot scaffold pole and a fat boy on the end, or if on your own slacken the plate that covers the rear torsion bars and get a pry bar in there to lever the spring plate out just enough to clear the bottom casting thus allowing the rear wheel to go lower. oh and you may have to undo the bottom...
