rayvern hydraulics. ray is a top bloke, done all the suspension work on the split panel van "foxon park" as an insight into how good his work/systems are sam

imo its definitely worth waiting/saving for hydros, thats what i'm doing as its a much better system and better suited to a bus imo. anyway ima help you anyway. to measure shock length, drop it down as low as you want it to possibly go when parked/at a show. measure the distance between the...

have you also tried thelatebay either forum or facebook group mate? you only have 1971 busses with compatible parts on here really, i'd have thought someone has a box full over there :) sam

if you are lowering it, id do suspension and brakes as a set (i.e build up a narrowed beam with all refurbed/ new stuff then swap the beams complete.) steering will have to be disconnected to remove the beam so sort steering box, track rods etc then reconnect everything once you have your beam...

to get them out the bus, inside at the front edge (under the rubber) there are 2 tabs (top and bottom along the front edge where the frame meets the bus (vertical) bend them back a bit to release their grab on the bus, then lever the lot towards the back of the bus (having already removed the...

i'm going to have a measure up dude once i've fitted the hydraulics and got them working :)

before currently in its chrysalis hopefully emerging as a beautiful butterfly in may :lol:

abby, check this link out http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=62593&p=520442#p520442" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; this is the ad which i bought my bus from, i carried on the process including also using 400 to 800 grit wet and dry paper (wet) to sand off the thick...

all about dem 15's if you can get hold of some. look a lot better imo but less common than 14's can't help with tyres as im running 17" radars

i did 3mm on the roof as i have stuck vinyl straight over the top (no standard headliner) 6 mm on all the walls etc (23 sheet pack off ebay did the lot) then i used their "absorber" egg box over the top on all the side panels to further dampen ambient rocket. not done bulkheads/ floors etc as i...

no one has gone for the obvious and sensible suggestion.... keep the kids on the drive under a cover and leave the garage for the bus :lol:

buy some tamiya x-24 paint mate (yellow tint lacquer) and use a soft brush to paint the inside of your stock glass rhd lenses. same look still red can be cleaned off with thinners when you get bored :D

i plan to fit it centrally in the valance, fit engine, fit valance and poke the sticky out bits into the channels in the engine bay i have no idea if this is the best way, or even a good way try it and let me know :lol: hope this works :) Sam

don't quote me on this, but i would imaging your crossover will have a late steering box, and i think they made the splines for the steering wheel bigger and beefier at the same time so i'd say that it sounds like you have bought an early wheel i could be wrong, i often am lol Sam

as title, after putting another 3/4 clear piece of glass in the rear right of the bus with an opening hrs quarter light to match, not as massive fan of having one odd fixed piece of glass lol as a side note i will also have available a piece of blue tint full glass (from the rear rhs) if i can...

i used a dremel with a soft wool disc on and autos to polish up my ratty deluxe trim, as above it looks like new where the coating has come off as the bare metal is now polished, but also, where the factory coating is it has stayed dull. its going on a patina so i'm happy with my 70% improvement...

hey dude, you are probably better off looking on thesamba.com for us busses for sale, most on here are already in the uk and most members seem to be english too good luck with your search :) Sam

it will be a bumper off job to get the headlight out there was a shit period where all vag was like it 2005-2009 ish. they were trying to force you to only use genuine dealers then realised it was just irritating to customers so knocked it on the head(i.e new polo you flick one tab and it ejects...
