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

http://vwrepublic.com/forums/index.php?topic=22.0 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.

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... ![]() ![]() |
