check your pipes!

Did one of those i must get round to that jobs today and that was raising the bus one spline at the back,looks and rides 100% better now and replaced the shocks with new,only probs were getting one of the nuts undone ( 1/2" breaker bar , scaffold tube and some heat!)the other prob was where the bus was so low one of the brake pipes on the back has been rubbing on the chassis and made a "dip" in the pipe and after moving a few things about i sprang a leak Ive managed to put a new pipe on now but just made me think what could have happened if it had gone on a big hill etc with the family on board :!: moral is guys check your pipes and clearance etc if the po has lowered it.

I lost a hard brake line on a long drive last Saturday, it was just touching the CV joint and wore through
(my fault - heard a slight clicking which went away so didn't investigate fully)
No drama - pedal got a little softer on the next couple of junctions until all the fluid was gone from the rears, then I needed help with
the handbrake to pull up to a complete stop. Made it safely 20 miles to our campsite.
Next morning I cut the line and crimped it, fresh fluid and a bleed later and back on the road with 2 discs and 1 drum - nice stiff pedal too. :wink:
