thats too bad ill see if i can find the paperwork they sent me because i replaced my brackets a few years ago it had a scale drawing of the brackets with measurements. so ya could make the bracket plate and just get the discs machined to fit original beddy bearings. may be a copyright issue but if they arnt gonna sell them any more they can have a sook.

hey cav, i have a 1:1 scale drawing of the brackets, that came with my kit, i can post it if you like. I will scan it today along with the cards for my supplier here in bris, and post it over the weekend. It appears  companies like rod shop dont want to do custom, i will bet they do what everyone is dong, unbolt and bolt on. I guess any hope of another VANCRAFT is just dreaming. Oh well.

hey ben, i guess these guys answered that Q. for me lol.  ;D I guess now we just have to rely on you for our fibreglass and bits and pieces. I guess the only way we will ever see another vancraft, is if one of us on here wins 50 million on lotto, and can work full time on setting up. They still have a vancraft shop in america, the van craze is still alive over there. I saw an episode of overhaulin a few months ago,      [ have on dvd ] they were doing up a custom chev van, and went to a vancraft type shop, wall to wall - floor to ceiling van parts, disc brakes, roof wings, flares, you name it they had it, it was like being back in the 70s again as i watched. sorry guys, for those born out of the 70s, you missed a dynamic era.
George.  ;D ;D
