Hi I saw your bus at old bar, looked good.

My SC had adjustable plates when I got it and one of them snapped a few months after buying it, I sawpped to original plates and just adjusted height by the splines and all good.

Looking forward to the pics of it becoming a DD

So the plate that's broken is shitty homemade and has broken on a weld, the bus has bus torsion housing but IRS beetle rear arms welded into it. So can someone tell me what spring plate I need??? Think il get creative spring plates but any other recommendations

What's interesting about this is that it has broken on the same line as the bracket it bolts to, maybe they are twisted when they are bolted up, something to check, ian
