bus beam?

Hey everyone, is it possable to fit a late model bay window front beam into a split screen? I know that the bolt holes are diferent but could you just redrill them? or does any shops do this?
Thanks,
Alex.

why not just put a 1968-70 beam in ? no drilling no worrys no carrying two different wheel pattern spares. cheers, fish

You can use the later model beam and drill the holes in the right spot, you can also redrill them so you get more caster, so the van steers better in cross winds, or if you are lowering it, you will have to in a split as the bay beam sits up higher.
You can get some adapters so you can run wide 5 on stock late disc brakes too.

And a late beam makes adding a brake booster a cinch!

CBB install late bay beams into splits quite often. It's a usual kit for them - they probably do at least one a month!

Give 'em a call and they'll be able to help you out.
