Since the rear suspension was butchered when I got the bus, I opted for a Bay rear suspension, already fitted.
John..please tell me how you did that.

I took a vrot Bay, tipped it on its' side, and went moggy with a cutting torch.

This was the result.
Then, Jan kindly tied the sub-frame as per the pic to the bottom of the bus with some wire. I still need to weld it all in place, and add additional strengthening to the main rear brace. I measured wheel centres, etc. and it works out perfectly if you use the main rear cross beam as your reference.

Now that is what I call a "Real" split bus
Nice for a "shorty" weld the 2 ends together, getting the wheels in could be a problem.
