Did the tracking with the "string method".
2 bits of ply under one of the wheels was a great tip from ozziedog.
Toe-in was 21mm :shock: , now 2mm

After being a front runner for the Ice Bucket Challenge but using rain water and my sunroof cavity, I spent most of Sunday with various bits of welding wire, 7amp cable, 35amp cable and a bottle of bleach unblocking my sunroof drain holes.

All are now clear and after reading a previous post on here got some new rubber hose to fit as the old stuff had hardened. Picking up a new felt seal at Busfest and bought the cables years ago, so hopefully have a correctly working sunroof rather than my manual version for next year

Drove my bus yesterday for the first time in a month. It feels so gooood to be back on the road

 

[Fletch71bay]

Well it's been a long time coming, just over 12months! But the van has finally come home!! Just down to me to put it back together now....

Leaving it's home for the last year.

Getting a helping hand on its journey home..

And finally back where it belongs..

I learned something new today. Thanks to a Samba member I can now put my bed back into the sitting position with no problem at all. Been struggling with it all this time.

Here is the link to his post.
