Narrowed beam!

[Scampi]

Thinking about it for my van!

It's something i've been thinking about for a while or i'm hoping to get another van towards the end of the year!

What do you dudes think?

 

[Grazy]

Narrow yes Scampi , sell the van never son :shock:

 

[Scampi]

Never sell, just thinking of adding :wink:

 

[Grazy]

Phew !!!! Sweet son , was worried there . So are you gonna narrow then mate , look on one of my recent threads ( 2000 words ) one i think , Gadget Boy say boxwagen ? are best £500 ,

 

[Scampi]

I'll have a look into it mate, I need to get her on the road and the carbs running sweet first :wink:

 

[Grazy]

Don`t know about you mate but all the lowerin stuff confuses me a biit :? When i had a F**d it was a case of lowering springs and new shox done job . But with this it`s dropped spindles , narrowed beam , etc etc . but then again i am a bit stoopid

 

[Scampi]

You'll pick it up quick enough dude! They're pretty simple to work on. :wink:
























































Just ******* frustrating :lol:

Good Man :wink:

Scampi, go for it if it is what your heart is yearning for!

Just don't go to narrow tho' as it can affect the handling (so I hear) :lol:

Beautiful van by the way 8)

 

[easy]

Only narrow it a bit dude, im not a fan of em too much.

You could always tub the arches and get it on the deck?

 

[Scampi]

I'm not a fan when too narrow either fellow.

May leave it till my next busafter thinking about it which I hope to get later this year.

I think it looks nice when the wheels are just taken in a inch or so either side so they just took under the arches :wink:

 

[gninnam]

Agree with you Scampi! 8)

 

[slammedkustom]

wouldnt it be cheaper n easier to run 4.5inch BRMs?
would give you a little tuck in?

 

[Scampi]

Good point sir!

Will have a think about that but it was something I was looking at doing, replacing the beam with it being 36 years old! :wink:

 

[slammedkustom]

narrowed and 4.5 brms, mmm nice!

seriously tho its worth checking your beam out, i see some real horrors everyday! :shock:

 

[Scampi]

Don't worry, it's the next job on my list after the re-wire and MOT :wink:

Cheers dude
