    Tyre clearance problems on my crossover!

    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, Matt

    Tyre clearance problems on my crossover!

    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!

    Tyre clearance problems on my crossover!

    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...

    Colours - what do i go for

    :) imho I think that paint is such a personal thing that you've just got to go with whatever you want. If you change the colour or the swage line divide then you'll upset the purists but I think there's loads of nice busses out there that aren't in their original colours. Mine's about to get the...

    Ordering bits - but from where??

    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!

    RHD Headlight Lenses

    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
