69 delta green westfalia restoration

Hey Leon!

Looking nice that is - tell me about the wheels, NSU? So are they Porsche fitting, so wide 5 to Porsche adapters? (or late bay to Porsche?)

I like them un detailed personally, was thinking about a set of wide 5 Speedmasters, but maybe RO80's and wide 5 adapters cheaper? :?:

Nice bus!

Yeah they are NSU's and are porsche pattern(wide to porsche). I love them undetailed, but since they have gone on the van i'm thinking maybe i should detail them. The contrast between shiney and matt doesn't quite show as i'd hoped. The reason i went for the wheels was mainly because you don't see too many vans running on these wheels,and they came with porsche 944 brakes. Other wise i'd've been looking at SA sprintstars.

Hi!

Oh, right, i see. So 944 brakes on the front, means no adaptors, but what about the rear, you running adaptors on the rear? It looks very nice, and different - you dont see many about, btw there is 1 wheel for sale on ebay now if you want a spare?

I like the look of the NSU's, or the Speedmasters, but i think the speedsmasters are quite dear...... :?:

Cheers!

Right, my MOT has run out so the van is off the road, which means i may as well start the front brake setup. Went out tonight to have a final mock up and check that everything cleared, as i'm fitting the 14" wheels. Everything seems to be ok, except the dust plate fouled the wheel, so either i'll ditch them completely or i'll fire up the angle grinder, and the wheel balance weights caught on the caliper. So nothing too major, thank funk!
Here's a couple of pics.

This is the dust plate, looks nice, but is just a fraction too big. Should i trim it down, or ditch it?

Hub, caliper, and spacer on. I needed a spacer as the wheel fouled the caliper! So NSU wheels at 14" will go on a 944 setup(bloody tight) with a 6mm spacer Again, thank funk!

Wheel on.

Finally, a pic of my new front badge that stuartrx7 gave me at stanford hall. BIG thankyou.

 

[ant]

looking good mate..... i'll be round later for a closer look

 

[stuartrx7]

Looking good mate, would you believe 3 cars run over that bling.All you need now is to get that badge closer to the tarmac.

 

[roland]

Good work on those brakes!

 

[leon]

Thanks guys.

Guess what. IT PASSED MOT FIRST TIME
Never before have i achieved this!
