    Bumpers

    MCJ usually have good U.S import bumpers in stock, but they will need painting. You can't beat OEM bumpers tho, german ones that is. I was lucky that my bus came with a front, and i bought a slash cut repro rear. the repro's not great, thin, not folded brilliantly. But i also got a cheap...

    Modified my rear repop slash cut bumper today with the ends of my rusty diamond cut original. A few pics showing the process.. The slash cut tapers away too much underneath, so the 'replacement needs a long bottom, cut here.. then place on top of the slash cut where you want it, mark and cut...

    Narrowed beam, no arb?

    In general, OEM ARB's are heat treated. Welding will change this, usually making the material softer/easier to bend and then not return to its original shape. I could make the shape, but you need an oven to heat treat it correctly. A little bit of google research suggests that you can make one...

    3" narrowed adj beam and flipped spindles

    Is it a modified stock beam or 'after market'? I'm interested if you don't sell to previous person.

    Narrowed beam, no arb?

    If you weld it the properties of the ARB will be knackered by the heat.

    Been to the paint shop, it's coming on well. The front panel is being massaged back to 'straightness' after the spare wheel mount and a light knock by one of the previous owners You can see that the U.S 'respray' has caused a bit of a problem, as it wasn't prepped properly, so is impossible...

    Little bodywork update, Chris has been removing the dents in the lower rear quarter and around the elec hookup and I've been looking at repairing my 'other' bumper But decide that its too far gone with this rust and other repairs and filler, and probably a pattern anyway as its rather thin...

    Air shocks on front ?

    Watching this thread, thinking about the same for mine front and back, don't need more height, just stop it getting lower when loaded. I know air shocks have a larger body for the air, amazingly, but don't know what will fit, and they ain't cheap, so don't want to get the wrong ones!

    That#s how they're supposed to be davidoft, pins at the back to locate them. It actually states in my official Volkswagen body book to make sure they are located when you re-assemble. Any way, it's done now and at the paint shop. :-)

    My 71 ex-Westy

    Well, things are happening again, after driving it around last summer, and slamming the beam into a speed bump at 30 (stopped dead, no fun) I fitted some coil overs, which has stopped it dropping when loaded up, tho its not as cool, but i'll work on that. Spent a long time sorting out the...
