This isn't a type2 but the same principal applies -

If you're raising you don't have to worry about notching.

Cheers, i think that explains the notching, i can see if mine have been notched now.

Just found a pic of mine on a 2 spline rear drop. Going back to it soon once i get round to changing me tyres 8)

I think I've found the perfect length shocks for a 2 spline drop - front shocks :mrgreen:

Anyone using them?

 

[sparkywig]

Is this a one or two spline drop?

 

[Joval]

Looks in between one and two (to me), maybe inner splines were turned too?

I don't know, the previous owner had a go at every part of my poor bus.
Had to cut two arches off the inside of the near side rear to get the BRM's on. :shock:

Did it lunchtime today, notched the spring plates, pulled the bump stops off and fit heavy duty front shocks - perfect fit :mrgreen:

Bit of a struggle getting the wheels back on (205/70 15) but nothing to worry about.

Drives great, feels tighter and no bottoming out - don't know what all the fuss was about. :mrgreen:

Pics to follow..

If anyone's looking to buy an 800 year old castle give me a shout for directions.

definitely looks good , and realy level too. how bad are your roads justy? last time i was in Dingle they were atrocious..

hope to see you this Sunday and get a closer look at your bus 8) , but I'm not sure as my genny is playing up and dont know if it will survive 400 miles

If i cant make it ill try to find someone travelling down to pick up the extinguisher.

Off the beaten track can be a challenge to drive on, but from here to Dublin is fine - all new bypasses and m-ways. :mrgreen:

Kit is in my bus, we'll figure something out if you can't make it
