How much did you have to narrow the IRS to get the wheels to tuck properly?

i narrowed it 3" total. 1.5" per side. Heres a how to link:

edit. Just re-read your question and realised i didnt answer properly. i didnt narrow the IRS, i narrowed the bus torsion to bug specs, and then it was a bolt on operation, except for having to recess the IRS pivots into the bus frame horns.

Oh yeah, update. Got the brakes sorted and bled today. The pushrod needs adjusted because there is a bit of freeplay in the pedal....type 1 engine is also getting the top end freshened so i can drive it while i build the monster type 4.

Cool GL T1.

Will be watching this

@ Hebster: You can use this, simple and cheap, I've tried similar, works fine! I had them on my 1967 for two years, much better visibility

So since getting new tires, i've gone and decided to tub the front end, because it was too close to the tires and i was afraid theyd rub once the bus is full of interior.

So we went ahead and cut em out!









and since we are tubbing the wheel wells 2" the seat rails need to come up and this was how it was decided to do it...



Got done raising all the seat brackets...



Cutting an fitting...









starting to fill in the void...





this piece started out flat... kinda made a break/jig to get it this way...



here it is tacked in place



the whole front tacked into place after making a few more "fun" pieces...



decided to change a few things around on top so it lines up better...



pretty much it for the pass side... still have a lot of finishing work to do...

Love keeping the metal looking stock. The flip flops gotta go while welding though (if it was me)
