Yes I have noticed that it will be close to the deck, haven't got that far yet, my mentality is make it hit the deck and when she's low enough work the rest out from there, I get an 8" drop only with the RGB's flipped, I have come down at least another 2
' on top of that..... or is it below that? I'm getting confused

Ahh, still working on this one, so far I have found that the 200mm type 1 and 215mm type 4 clutch setups use the same ring gear size and ratio, 2 ltr has a larger flywheel again and I had to shave about 2mm out of the bell housing to get the flywheel enough clearence, I think the 1800 and 2ltr share the same crank to flywheel configuration, I looked at modifying the 1800 flywheel to take the early type 2 clutch set up with the ring style pressure plate and thought F*#K that, may create more issues than it's worth so I am looking to set up the clutch as per the 1800 type 4 and modify the fork (if required) and the box to accept a thrust bearing guide, I'll keep you posted on this one, should be in the next week or so, I have only set up the box to the engine without the clutch to get it running before fitting it to the bus, I am about 50ks from where the bus is stored at the moment so it's doing my head in

No stress mate, with radical ideas that aren't done very often if at all I don't think you are meant to understand it all, at least you have the nuts to get clarification, it's only just making sense to me now and I've been milling over it for months

I'm guessing that motor will need an upright conversion?

Too true Andy, That will be on the cards after I get her home, it will be interesting to see how much of a fat arse she'll have with all that junk hanging off the back, may have to leave off the eng door not sure, will see in the next week or two

Sad story here, the old Fella was crook with Cancer, pitty that he wont see her finished as he passed away about 4 weeks ago, I think I have an idea for some olSkool signage for this bus as a tribute, the bus had been in the family since the late 60's, Ron, (the old fella) used to import light aircraft into Aussie and sell them off, I heard through the grapevine that they used the kombi when they built the air field and they used it to carry all the tools and tin around on the roof and slide the sheets onto the hangers roof.

I am looking to have this ready to show at the Day of The VW in Melbourne, I think that is in November?, can anyone confirm the date and location for this one?, the last one I went to was about 10 years ago in Monash

reading the above post, clearly I am talking about having it ready to show as a Rat, I may have it ready as a resto shower if I put my undies on the outside though
