Re: 67 Panelvan
It was a very tight squeeze to get them in and the holes to align with the axles, but saying that its the first time that I have ever removed the spring plates and axles off of a car.Bad Ass Bob wrote:regardin your spring plates , i put a spacer between my spring plates, i will post a pic with what i mean,

I have notched spring plates with the "spacer" welded in. With the spring plate in the original position it should give me a 3.5" drop at the back without using splines of the torsion bars, difficult to see from these pics:

Splitz, glad you came right with the hub nuts. Did you eventually grind the right rear off???

Re: 67 Panelvan
Almost ready, had to redo the wiring and now trying to sort out the braking issues
Also cant find the right length shocks for the rear,
Open: 330mm
Closed:230mm
Stroke:100mm
Yes HR my dad showed that nut the grinder, but it did put up a fight. Always funny seeing my dad struggle with something on the bus and end up saying: " F%^*@g german piece of sh^&
Somedays I think my dad gets a bigger kick out of these busses than I do

Re: 67 Panelvan
No, I think its still far from done.
Still some wiring issues, the engine cut out twice
And I definitely need a new steering box, the play on that thing is unbelievable
Just waiting for the master cylinder from Calooker, I dont have much braking either
From the front the people point and smile
From the rear the people gave me the finger

Re: 67 Panelvan
Wheel alignment question:
How do I straighten up the rear wheels ?
At the moment the drivers side rear is very skew, the passenger side is ok
The wheel cant go back anymore on the springplates so I'm stuck with something like this:
