Got the rear end together, went with Thing drums. Will be doing front brakes and steering system over hopefully this month. Almost done with the new shoes too.
I need to get this on the road. _________________ '64 Java

Where can I get beam mounting bolts? Mine only has two bolts on each side and they don't look like they are the right bolts. _________________ '64 Java

I hope I never have to replace a floor on a bus again!! The WW floor fit nice but the process was tough, this took a lot of work. At least for me it did. Before it gets pointed out, this was half way through. I wasnt finished welding yet, by the time I finished I wasn't in the mood to take pics .

What would you say was the hardest part about replacing the floor? If you did have to do a bus floor again, would you do anything differently? Any tips or pointers for those about to take on the same task? _________________ "OG = Original German" -- TheSamba.com dictionary |

Thanks.
The hardest part for me was removing the old floor, or what was left of it. The next, which I'll do differently next time, is the heater tube. I welded the floor in first then installed the tube, but it got tricky. Might want to put it in with the floor not tacked in place yet so one could tweak it if necessary. _________________ '64 Java
