    Red 9 Rear disc brake conversion kit fitting

    Hey all, has anyone fitted the above to their bus? I bought my kit about 10 years ago and only just got round to fitting it... but it doesn't fit. I seem to remember the rear hub carrier needed to be machined but I didn't get mine done and would love to chat to anyone that's done this conversion.

    Headlight Failure! Things to check.

    OK so I have almost finished the re-wire on my bus. One of the main reasons for doing the re-wire was because of a very scary moment one night. I was driving along a country road and switched the headlights from dipped to main beam, no problems. About 10 seconds later as I entered a really...
