I've had a few replies regarding the mag. article describing adjusting the rear torsion bars. The article was one of a series done about their "Project Westfalia" a '71 restoration, which I thought was quite good and inspiring. I'll dig up what I can Meanwhile, hasn't the old Bentley got a procedure for doing the same? (my copy is out in the garage, in my old '72). You do have to buy some sort of bubble level-cum-protractor thingy and do some spatial thinking, that and sheer laziness caused me to buy KYB Gas-Adjust shocks when I got the worries about my '72's rear end. The shocks did make a big difference, and lifted the van about 1/2" into the bargain. Alistair
