Working hard to get the van ready for the summer ;) 2012.

Giving the engine a lowered mount (3.5cm more clearance) and some maintenance (oil, sparkplugs, checking valves etc.) Also renewed some seals in the gearbox (they were leaking)

At the moment i'm working on some extra music, mounted tweeters in the dash. Al the wires are hidden behind the sealing, through the front window post to the back. Al aps and the bassdriver are coming between the roof (place where the deluxe busses have there sliding roof).

And when i was working on the doors i put in some extra lights ;) just for fun :lol:

New front screen is placed, old one cracked when we placed a new seal :oops: .

Hello Mytcha
I'm installing the Air shocks in my bus now.
Could you tell us why you modified yours?



The shocks are MA824 Monroe witch i modified to adapt a npt-pneumatic fitting:

In fact my problem is my bus is not going up when I try. I 've just test with a Big tire compressor and not the one in the bus. Do you think it is the problem? Too much pressure, too quick?

Thanks
Boris ;)

He Boris,

Pressure is pressure, fast or slow 8)
How is your bus lowered? Do you have a narrowed beam? the movement is all in the torsion stiffness! i've lowered mine on dropped spindels and also on adjusters and only the top adjusters is lowered, so the lower torsionbar has stiffness in it.... :idea:

I've modified the shocks to bigger tubes (6mm) for faster movement and nicer fittings (didn't liked the original ones :oops: )

Greetings Mycha
 
Tanks for your help mytcha!
Mine has a linkpin narrowed beam with dropped spindles and disks.
Adjusters are in thé middle . I m gonna try to release the upper one.
I Will tell you
For the size of the airline , i Will start with the original one becauSe the Speed is not So important for me at this Time .
Cheers
Boris
