Could be the front airbox has water in there and it's corroded a hole in the bottom.

Here you go

Yes, I realised that after I'd posted. Mine haven't had these for years.

Just a couple of jobs out of the way. Westy bed frame in, carpet glued and engine hatch finished. Dash pod all connected. Front discs finally sorted. Just waiting for the correct disc/hub mounting hardware to arrive. And making sure the wheels actually fit before detailing. List...

The hangers are spotwelded many times, and also stitched along the top edge. Would've been an absolute nightmare if you were trying to do it cleanly.

I was, but late bay chassis legs are 100mm further apart so the bend on the engine bar was right where I needed to mount it. I've cut the moustache bar brackets and moved them up 60mm, so that should give me a bit more clearance.

Hello Rachel, welcome to the forum. If your Dad's already started a thread in the Gallery section, continue to add to it please as we like pics on here. What has he bought to replace the bus?

Well, that was an enjoyable hour or so splitting the engine bar mounts from the scrap chassis leg. Mocked up.

I thought that maybe there would be possibly one or two parts going on the deluxe build that I don't have to modify, but no. Such is life.
