I think I came across this discussion somewhen, but couldn‘t find the topic anymore. My outriggers were replaced in the past, but not really nicely, so I‘ll have to do them again. The parts from KF and Autocraft are all the same design (flat with a hole for water), but the WW one looks differently. But they have only the rear once in this embossed design.

Can anybody tell me what is correct for a 67 bus? Were all 4 the same or front and rear differently? I‘d like to make it as correct as possible. Thanks! _________________ Recent pics from my SO-42 rebuild: https://www.instagram.com/anni_vintage_bus/ |

In my experience the WW outriggers (which are actually Autocraft) are much nicer and beefier than KF. _________________ Copyright CJ Industries, Inc.

Unfortunately the Hoffmann Speedster Jackpoints I got ended up being the Brazil junk. I gave them back and payed almost twice the amount for decent ones from BUS-OK. |
There’s definitely good and bad stuff from Brazil. VWdoB is better than random Brazilian aftermarket. The orange jack points... and the spot welded ones are junk. _________________ aka: Evan

Michael, I should have listened to your experience. That is what they delivered to me.
And I figured out, that other shops with the correctly pictured Brazilian part, actually do sell other stuff instead of the pictured one... _________________ Recent pics from my SO-42 rebuild: https://www.instagram.com/anni_vintage_bus/ |
