 |
|
My buses long interior panel was all torn up at the bottom when I got it. I finally cut a new panel and will be using the OG vinyl.
So this is probably a pretty stupid question but I just want to make sure. There are tabs at the bottom welded to the floor. Does the panel mount between the tab and the wall?

Again Everett, thank you so much! I need to get my glasses prescription up dated. I just didn't look at the tabs that closely.

| Bringing up an old thread, my bus doesn't have any tabs and I want to add some. Does anyone have pics and measurements of their locations? Any help would be much appreciated. |

Thanks Clara, thats more info than I already had. If anyone has more pics or measurements, especially at the rear end near the wheel arches that would be great. Thanks |

Only 2 tabs on mine, spaced equally between the vertical supports.

| Thanks Baz, that helps a lot. I thought there should only be two on the long side. Thanks again. |

Here are a few more pictures and measurements from a friend here in Australia, combined with the images from Baz these should allow for accurate installation of the tabs in a bus with them all removed.
Interestingly it would appear there was a change somewhere between 58/60 on Aussie busses, I have pics of the rear wheel tub tabs on 2 <58 busses and pics of 60< busses with no wheel tub tabs, does anyone have more info on when this changed? |

Maybe they are Kombis and they don't have them? I don't know. |

They were microbusses. From what we have seen so far it appears the change may have happened at the same time as the semaphore > turn signal change on Aussie busses. |
