The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

GAH !!
Pipped at the post .

Looks great , might i be so bold as to ask what sized bearing you used ?

 

If you’ve ordered new Brazilian clamps, be aware that they’re (predictably) the wrong shape for German vans, so require some panel-beating. They do go on though, if sufficient profanity is used.

 

Thanks for the heeeds up , i`ve kept ye olde clamps - just in case

 

Guessing from the state of the metal rollers and how they get eaten, the nylon ones will last until the carriage decides to run at a slight angle then its game over.

 

Nows your chance to get rid of the stupid thing and fit coilovers ;-)

 

I have no complaints whatsoever with stock height and handling , even in cross winds it`s good . It even cocks-a-snook at sleeping policemen unlike the lowered brigade ....

 

Rich tea ??



Think we need to have a whip round and buy you some proper biscuits ...

Check for play in`t steering box , or better still leave well alone - it can be too tight and give a weird wandering sensation if you get it wrong ...

All you need now is a set of bump stops.

 

Sorted

 

Let's not encourage Sarah, eh? Remember the dunking biscuits in the bath episode?

 

@scrooge95 Koni shocks are the dogs wotsits, brilliant on the Bug

 

Stripped everything from the rear end in preparation to treat some surface rust and try out the new electric sprayer.
