Why the belly pans Ian?

Thanks Bob, merry Xmas to you and the family, Morts, the belly pans are in case I cut a big hole in the roof

Don’t cut a hole in the roof. Sky windows and sunroofs are overrated.

well done, make sure you insulate the heater pipe before welding the belly pans in and maybe apply spray insulation to the sub floor. Also if doing a brake booster run the pipe...

I keep welding and grinding, into my third week back on this and it seems like it don't end, did a 25mm steering box raise, welded the rest of the cargo floor up, test fitted all the belly pans and the pedal pan, test fitted the brake master cyl, modified the pedal pan for it, I will do another week on it but will have to stop then, I have work coming in that needs to be done, Ian

Nice one buddy
How are u going to fix the belly pans to the bus, removable or fixed

vanell · Post by **vanell** » Mon Dec 31, 2018 6:28 am

I think that I will make the outers fixed, and the centre one I will put on after I get it running and sorted, I think it should be fixed to stop any flex, that's what they were designed for, and I cant see any reason to take it back off once its on there. Ian
