Thanks Graham, really appreciated. All notes taken. Living in perpetual fear until there is time and money to replace. Until then, make it better but live in fear.
I like this approach! I need the van for June so I’m nervous!
My ball joint splitter was too small so I procrastinated too much. How would one separate the lower joints? I don’t mind buying a tool if it works well even for one job.
I think they are dropped spindles and also the ball joints are reversed. I’m going to do some phoning about tomorrow to see if I can find someone to help me with a new beam and sort it out.
Okay, so under the van today first time this week I’ve been able to, and it looks like I could have some problems with my bottom adjuster. The bolt has ground away and so has a bit of the adjuster and it looks like it’s running about 5 to 6 notches Upwards while the top adjuster is as high as it...

I used some marine bench foam. I think it was 1inch. Originally I tried 2” and it was too thick. The pillow section I left thicker as it’s more comfortable. (Also didn’t want to unpick it). It still makes closing a little harder and could have been mm thinner but I’ll cope for now.
I think mine is an original beam that has been narrowed and adjusters fitted. I’ve no experience in. Recognising the spindle type. Lots has been done though and it looks to be high quality. Hubs are custom drilled for Porsche 5 stud.
I’d better start gathering the tools and putting the bay up...
