yeh its not fun but i'd imagine your 1000's of times worse than me.
with a kombi and that much power theres no way you'd want vinyl you'd slide right off the seat withe the power 😀

I upgraded, well renewed all the necessary brake components too.
I put 4 new flexible brake hoses, as the originals were a bit hard, and all new brake fluid, readjusted, cleaned and checked all components.
The front pads and rear shoes were still nearly 100% so they stayed.
Brakes really good now.
I hope I did the right thing 🙂

Am sure you did. Didn't look at braided brake lines as well? (just curious)

Nah not braided, but new German ones. I got them from someone on the forum just before I wrecked myself.

Okies
was thinking if using braided on elvis, still might just for the 'silver' factor rather than normal flex tubes.

It is always hard to say about exhaust size. I suppose mandrel bends and a good muffler make the difference.
Even my 300hp supercharged EH Holden has only a 2.5 inch exhaust. They reckon it's good up to 6800rpm at that size, but I never go over 5500 rpm, so I suppose it is safe.
I wanna get another foxtail for the bus though. It looks pretty cool up in the middle of the roof.

I have a friend whose dad does fox eradication as a part of his job. Unfortunatley he lives 100's of k's away, so not so easy to get the tails.

just went back a few pages (been bizzy o' late)... :o hellbus, no good. Dude that piccie with the screws, looks like a dodgey patchup by a bush mechanic 😉 if you need some tiewire, I can spare some for you 😂
Looks like I may have talked thorun into the goldcoast show, we will be arriving 'festy' style (cos the type 3 is in a mess), so I recon we will be meeting up at yatla?.
where is Jen peeps, there seems to be an absence of postal input? hope she is off on some raunchy romance, having fun 😉

Have fun before, during and especially after the exams guys. I don't envy you one bit. I suppose it is one thing I don't have to worry about.
Yeah where is Jen? I need a nurse 🙂
