    i just wanted to add that originally the van had windows fitted. not vw ones, the guy, previous owner fitted these weird long but narrowish windows. looked like something from a barge or caravan? anyway they looked crap. so i removed them and welded in some sheet steel to take it back to a...

    You're having a laugh, aren't you?

    i've seen guys on here selling what can only be described as scrap vans for 1k+ without a hint of criticism. so apart from the fact that the van is a bit of a cacophony of sheet metal and has no real indigenous value. it is, by present market buoyancy, worth 1k+ easily as an unfinished campervan...

    free to good home; early calipers

    obviously first come first serve on these puppies. 'pickup', they're yours if applicable (crossover)? regarding postage; they weight 10kg on the nose all in, so costs i'd have to find out.

    free to good home; early calipers

    free to good home set of early t2 calipers. these were on my '70 panel, which i replaced with the more practicable 72' onwards brake setup. i was going to recon them, then sell them, but to be honest i can't be arsed. so free to good home as they are; dismantled and cleaned in need of rebuild...

    Balljoint to Link and Pin

    i was told on here that a split beam fitted to a bj chassis is already narrower by an inch or so and also lower by an inch or so as the beam tubes are closer together effectively tucking the lower tube up higher, out the way of the ground etc?

    Which Dropped spindles?

    ah, i see. but must only be for sales over certain amounts. been paid small amounts instantly, but this was more pricey gear ;) . i'm sure some one can make use of that beam, narrowing it or whatever. you are right the stress/hassle is often 'more expensive' than the renumeration. anyway good...

    Bus towbar-Made so you can use a regular car to TOW your Bus

    as far as i'm aware in the u.k any vehicle that is towed, i.e. it's wheels touch the road surface has to be, or supposed to be road legal?

    Which Dropped spindles?

    i don't think you'll have a leg to stand on now because you'd modified the item to attempt to overcome the problems/issues. hindsight is a wonderful thing, and i understand about going with it due to impaience/excitement etc. but it should have been left alone, photographed the day it arrived...
