[Nellybus]

Don't think it's gonna be ready for volksworld show but hopefully by big bang so I can get some 1/4 mile action in. :twisted:

 

[Guest]

are you carrying a spare? if so where? i just noticed your had flatten the whole over engine area. i was thinking about doing this but dunno what i would do with the spare as id be taking it off the front.

 

[Nellybus]

I've got a porsche space saver that i'm gonna put in the bulkhead unit when my mate eventually gets round to building for me. :wink:

 

[Alzy]

Looking very nice!!

Hopefully see it @ the shows this season 8) 8)

Got the front calipers on this morning,

what do you think? It's a porsche radial mount set up with 13" disc's. :wink:
Also got the rear coilover's and rear anti roll bar in, tryng to get as much
as poss done this weekend before I go on hol's Tue's.
When I come back the rock'n'roll bed should be leathered up and hopefully
Jon will have got me loom done so it'll be the last push to get it done for
Big Bang.

looking forward to seeing this bus mate. let alone hearing the thing. you actually beat me to that porsche spare on ebay a while back. have you got a full set of four boxster s fronts on you bus or did you sqeeze the rears on.

 

[Nellybus]

All the wheels are boxster s front's the rears wont go near it they are 9"x17"!

 

[Nellybus]

Finally got the rear hubs back from the machine shop,

They had to take around 10mm off to make them fit the disc's

All on now just the caliper bracket's to be made up now.

Looking good.What master cylinder are you going to use for this brake set up?

 

[Nellybus]

I hope the standard servo master cylinder will do the job.
There is a compensator valve for the rear brakes from factory to stop the rear brakes locking up so it should be ok, If not i'll end up fitting a 911 one,as with everything when you start to mod stuff its all trial and error normally costing a bloody fortune!

 

[Nelly]

Well it's getting there slowly.

How do I post these bloody pic's now?

 

[Loxy]

Looking good, daresay haveacamper will be on soon asking about your brake & wheel fitment, (I will ask for him) are twists 7s all round or did you get the 8.5s on theback?

Like so:

Just use the [ i m g ]pic address [ / i m g ] buttons (spaces inserted so you can see it)
that are above your post entry box.

 

[Nelly]

Thanks for that Loxy,
The twist's are 7's all round,
I have been a member on her for a while as Nellybus, but changed job/computer,Forgot password etc,etc... :?
So had to re register.
Brakes are(front's) porsche boxster 3.2 s front's and (rear's) 190 merc fronts with astra caliper's.

 

[Loxy]

Are your trailing arms off something else as well? didnt look like stock 72 ones.

 

[Nelly]

How did you see the trailing arms?
At the mo they are stock but intend using 944 ones when I fit the 915 5 speeder i've just bought.
