fitted the adapter to run a single port carb on a twin point

bang it all on but need to do the timing and tune the carb

might have to raise the engine tho

actually turned it round under its own steam

i was gonna fit the discs and callipers today, but went to the pub last night so i'm in the dog house. i'll fit them during the week, i think

 

[Rob b]

[Mark6455]

F#ck me that's nice and low who needs brakes run her as she is looks amazing

I'm having big problems with my lower shock mounts hitting the beam so off to my mates garage tomorrow to try and get it sorted I'm thinking of getting t haus narrowed arms to solve the issue

Mark

 

[dubscum]

i had my trails arms mounts milled back on both my buses, kept popping my shocks on my last bus

 

[Mark6455]

Did you just retapp new studs in its not a massive job I know just needs to be right for my retest next week
Oh and then there's the welding :?

 

[dubscum]

no, slamwerks narrowed them to move the shock away from the bottom beam bolt. I also have a few days of welding :?

 

[Mark6455]

I just had a look underneath the bus and the beam is resting on the bottom shock bolt

Fun and games

Are you sure it didn't just roll out of the garage when you went to put the kettle on?

 

[dubscum]

thats where it fucking stalled :lol: after grounding out on that little stop :? drove it out the garage then shit myself when i remembered it had no brakes :shock:

 

[Rob b]

Did your old bus ground out much?

 

[dubscum]

my old bus was pretty cool to drive, i Wound down the suspension, the rear arch was 15"off the ground, the engine hit the floor over every bump and I got beached on a raised man hole cover at my mums vvv had to raise it about 2" then was fine. No engine raise etc

Looking sic Ash 8)

 

[dubscum]

Mark (and anyone else interested) hope these come out all right, there pictures of me narrowed arms to keep the shocks away from the bottom beam bolt ........ no body died :msn4:

front notch's

nothing special, but I've got flipped Brazilian spindles I needed to convert to late bay callipers and disc's, brembo disc's and vw callipers 5x112. Just proof that it looks like a piece of shit but all new where it counts

one side built up but need to move the flexible brake hose mounting (cheers Stu) a little to stop it catching.

where can I get flexible hose mounting clip / holder thingy from ?

thanks Ash

 

[Mark6455]

Thats the ticket Ash did you get someone to mil them back or do it yourself
I had another look at mine and once I take the huge washer away and trim the stud down I don't think I'll have to take much off to clear.

My mot guy said just raise it up bend the studs straight and it will pass but it's giving me palpitations thinking about raising it :lol:

Once the welding is sorted I'll crack on and sort the arms before Tuesday's retest

 

[dubscum]

slamwerks did mine, but if you strapped for time any local engineer will do it with a milling machine , as long as you take them off and explain what you want.

good luck
