[karlehsp]

Hi, just had my front beam changed for a narrowed one and now have my old one for sale. It is a bus boys adjustable front beam still in good condition with no rust, will fit vans August 69 onwards. Looking for £200, but open to sensible offers!

I am located in corby, northants. I am willing to post it if required and will get quotations if necessary. PM me if your interested. Cheers, Karle.

interested in this mate. bit new to all the small differences between years. my bay prod date jan 69 and chassis no starts with 219. Will this fit? Can i easily check to be sure? what are the differences between 68/69 beams and the later ones. Ta

 

[karlehsp]

I think the bolt patterns on the earlier ones are different which means they are the same as the splits, but i am guessing this is the later bolt pattern as i was informed by the guys at slamwerks. I think if your van was made before august 69 it has the earlier pattern but i am not 100% about this but there are a few guys on here who will be able to let you know. Cheers

68/69 beam is the same bolt pattern whereas 70> has the larger pattern

what year is yours off?

 

[karlehsp]

Just had a look and my van is made after august 69 so it will be the later bolt pattern.

 

[buxtonbug]

I got an early and late bay so i'll go out and compare and get back with some dimensions so we can check for sure..

 

[Araon]

yeah so 70> it wont fit your 69 fella

 

[buxtonbug]

Been and compared. The front two mounting bolts are spaced (vertically) at approx 90mm on early bay and 125mm on late bay . This should clarify so if you want to double check that would be great....

[buxtonbug]

these plates look as though universal as usually only 4 holes?

 

[Araon]

they are I think hes demonstrating the difference early and late the top two are in the same position the next pair are the lower earlybay/split the next pair are late beam mounts
