Crwbus, you have nothing to apologise for.
Your post is far more useful for bay owners than most.
The only posts on here blowing things out of proportion are those posts claiming there was a need for calm :lol:
These posters, for reasons best known to themselves, claim to be calming a "situation" or thread that was, up until their post, a quiet and reasoned discussion about the possible disadvantages of some suspension modifications. Modifications that worked essentially because the usage of these vehicles was far less strenuous than they were originally designed to cope with.
VW bays served world wide and were successful because, at the time, other vehicles of this type, fell apart when used, often overloaded, on the rough and unmade roads of developing nations.
As a consequence of this, they might be considered by current recreational and hobby users to be over engineered.
By this I mean that if one were to run inverted ball joints and horseshoe plates with lowered suspension it would be unwise to then attempt to drive overland to South Africa for instance :lol:
So, zbed, the way I see it, you are imagining a lack of calm :lol:
Ps, maybe you could help transporter put his toys back
