looking good there bud

J

Thanks for the comments guys,
All gone to plan so far and on schedule so at least I won't be rushing to refit it. First wedding for this bus is May.



Hi Jon,
Glad the thread has helped, what this forum is all about. I'm learning all the time and it's helped me out on several occasions.
As to the adapters, no they're spacers. When I straight axled, a box and drum to drum axle I bought second hand my wheels fouled the adjusters on the spring plates. I'm sure I've read something on here About the subject before so I'm sure it's an issue that I'll have to research and find out why and how to rectify so I can lose the spacers, unless someone can throw some light on it and cares to comment.
And yes, usual issue, wheels are a mare to get off without undoing the lower shock mount.

Cheers

Steve

Hi. not updated for a while.Busy with work.
Got down to the paintshop friday and and the bus is painted and having the doors rehung, just bumpers and irons to do and we can get her back to the workshop for the refit.

Looks great!!! Bet you cant wait to see it complete now youve seen that, really nice!

Three or four weeks should see it finished, only really have weekends spare in the cave at the mo. Got to get it done by a April as we'll be into wedding season and then no spare weekends till October.
