[Merlin]

any details on how to do it...

[Merlin]

I COULD tell ya but then i'd have ta kill ya  as i said theres some pics on here somewhere . I spent over 360 hours on developing it . it has 3 track widths and is fully adjustable but you dont have to bo so elaborate

seriously consider a different way of lowering beddy.

here is what i will do when it comes time i want to lower a beddy,

cutinto the chassis, lower body down, re weld, strenthen with something substacial, put lwb springs in to stiffen up front.


yoy could get shorter springs, then move wishbones to compensate. plenty of ways.

or... graft a different front end into yor van.

jack up your van and stare at it for 12 hours and im sure youll think of plenty of other ways.

stub axels should not be tampered with and i would look at a way to do it while using orig ones.

That is a whole lot of work ben!

Why would you spend endless hours of work hacking up the frame when you can achieve the same result in a simple axle swap?

In the vw bus world the drop axle is a comun practise.

I see no problem as long as the new or modified axle is made correctly.

OK, lads, got a phone call this morning from Rod Hadfield himself .he spent 2 days ,last w/end finding all or most of his paperwork/notes/jigs for the bedford drop spindles. long story short..... he is prepared to do a run of 6 pairs this run,more of more wanted...

BUT  we need to let him know numbers asap as these will take afew months to complete ...and they are included in the run of approx 150 other spindles    WHICH THEY ARE POORING? NEXT MONTH...

i need to write a full post to explain more but don't have time this sec....sorry....

COSTS..... virgin hubbs $770
                   plates,setting in,machining,welding,drilling,tapping,freight etc, again I'll explain more ,(hopefully tomorrow) roughly the same, soooo, around $14-1500 mark. these are run from the same mill as holdens/ford current mill and will be rta approved and certified with all papers and docs.
