Yes, I remember you saying about your mate. Sounds like a talented guy. Is he sticking with the '74 drums on the rear or going for after market discs? I'd always thought if I ever actually got round to making my dream bus (21/23 windows+Porsche power+ball joint front end etc etc etc yawn got no ideas of your own son?) it would probably need some uprating in the brake department to say the least :) Going for the bay window chassis is a very neat way of getting round any steering & suspension limitations that the splittie might have when fitted with such a big motor. Look foward to seeing it around the shows; Any idea when? cheers Marcus '70 bus (2 litre engine, drums all round and sloppy steering =:0 ) __ Marcus Grant mty016@uk.ac.cov
