Working on the new brackets for correcting the rear camber when going low:


Still had to close the notch plates, 5mm thick steel 8):


Also collecting parts for the new engine, 2110 cc (76 x 94):


Greetings from Holland Mycha
 
Excellent work - will work beautifully when finished no doubt :mrgreen:
 
When i made the air brackets and cross-bars i did not had the plan to raise the gearbox :p So the upper brackets was cut to create some space, now i made some extra brackets to tight it all in, even my eberspacher fits :msn4: 8)







Next is the finessing the motor mount then my friend (http://www.deboxer.nl) will weld all brackets and we can start on the brackets on the a-arms and do some testing with the airbags :D

Greetings mycha
 
Hi Mycha,

I've spend many hours going over this thread on your build of this beautiful bus! Everything is looking first class - well done!!

I wanted to pass along a huge thank you for all the sharing of info and pictures regarding your air ride. I've installed a similar system in my '78 (I know I know... not an early...) and it works like a dream! Running the Gabriels front and back for now but may upgrade to the Shockwaves next year.

Thanks again Mycha and keep up the outstanding work and attention to detail!

ps. Here's a link to some pics of what I did with mine. It's not perfect.... but I'm learning!
