    South African 1969.

    Not much progress but I fitted the middle seat I found on eBay and a radio that had been gathering dusthe in my garage for years! Not wired in but does look better than an empty hole! I have an m501 kit and a nice pair of 1/3 and 2/3 seats to fit so will be a 9 seater.

    Rear welding has now been done. Today with help it had new ball joints and a heavy duty anti roll bar fitted to the ww spindles. Rear brakes built up on new backing plates. Above pic is the new ride hight. Just enough to squeeze into the garage.

    WTB Middle seat clamps (now sorted thanks)

    Hi Andy. Is it just the clamp bit or the bolt and based plate too? Could you post a pic of what you have? Thanks Damian. Thinking about it you might have the rear clamps too as middle seat uses 6 or 8 I believe depending if it's a two or three seat.

    My a new bus from gday kombis. Brought it blind on the strength of photos. It arrived this week and I am very happy with it. 1969 that had a water cooled conversion, late discs, wheels and rear lights. I have most of the parts to return it to standard.

    BRMs and castle nuts.

    Can anyone think of a solution to fitting wide 5 BRM wheels with flush centre caps? The tall ones are a deal breaker for me.
