ok some new pics and progress.. front end in .. using Indian adjusters and adjustable bumper stops.. along with indian IRS kit.. went in super and really clear instructions.. also Kimm has been there to call if i ever needed questions answered.

68 Beam w/adjusters.. Late bay Discs up front and bay drums on rear.. Small 5 stud pattern but i bought some adapters off Astralglider that will go back to wide 5. Lbug gearbox.. also have a good 1600 lined up with Kadrons and 009.. simple.

Brake booster and dual circuit M/C supplied by Indian also.. smaller booster than stock bay.. nice fit.

New brake lines fitted by Cappo (ben) as pictured with his tounge out and vw1963(gary) being the bearded clam helping with many mechanical bits..im the twat with the dirt all over me removing the crossmember.

a bit of an update... I bought Beryl Green from Tim last year for my wife and a few pics of her now. Still pretty ratty but less so.
now sporting full set of seats (middle is a bay) and I retrimed myself with TMI gear, installed a Rock n Roll bed in the rear
alloys fitted as the wife was a bit concerened on the adaptors and likes a bit of bling
got the dents out of the roof, new headlining in
vintage speed exhaust fitted
safaris front and rear

gets driven a few days a week
