Help Support Early Bay Forum:
With three weeks to go before a planned trip to the south of france it was hauled onto the ramp after sitting for a year under a cover and stripped out....
Followed by.... tub's front and rear, suspension raised,engine and box raise,larger notches front and rear... filler now on the roof, the rear tub's are so big( 205 65x15 tyres) full digital air suspension and a new 1915cc motor on twin 40 del's
2700 miles later around France... it proved great fun and the new engine perfect for the long hills 8)
If it goes as good as it looks,,,,,, then it`s fantastic . I try to steer well away from them super lowered busses as it looks a little addictive :shock: I wasn`t going to lower,,,,,,,,,, then Mr Transporter house raised his ugly head at the front,,,,, then Senor Slamwerks at the rear :roll: I just won`t look at any lowered busses :mrgreen:

your magazine feature with the Deluxe laundry van a few years back was the reason I bought a Early bay, narrowed it and slammed it. Thanks

Yes the engine is great, it only has a small cam and also the heads are fairly stock too..but it just pulls and pulls..... i would stay away from kaddrons and the webbers and go for a set of 40 dels... they are the easiest to live with....
Ive had nothing but hassle with my Dells, the idle jets are constantly blocking up and it won't idle properly, changed all the hoses out and fitted new filter before I fitted em. Got the engine and tank out ATM, been swilling the tank out today and tbh it wasn't too bad, plenty of bits but could have been 10 times worse. See if itbcures the prob when I get it back together, also fitting a fuel pressure regulator, are you running one ?
