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.

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.

From OACDP manual: http://www.oacdp.com/pdfs/5867s4.pdf


Bolt: 211 499 121 A
Washer: 211 499 131

Bolt for sale in UK: http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_act_shop.product_pID_135604_lang_EN_country_GB.htm


Would probably be easier to find one here on TheSamba. Place a WTB in the classifieds.

Nice bus and great work on the floor pan.

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 Laughing .

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?

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.
