Get rid of the bars and put two U-bolts into those hinges? to drop the clamshell down to fit a larger than stock spare.

I slipped marine exhaust hose over the ends further on from the metal ends and double clamped them with no problems.

Warren It comes off easy. You pinch the bracket at the rear together. I pull one arm out at a time. You’ll obviously have to lower it first and get the wheel out of there. You’ll see what I mean

Congratulations. ?Bit by bit, day by day, it comes together. ?I have a good friend who is forever working on his 1960 split window bus. ?His philosophy is “do at least one thing every day, no

Got the water pump and the piece above it (pulley mount ? And backing for the timing belt cover) on today as well as the PS pump mount for the alternator. I need to fabricate up a mount for the
