i might be abel to get bolt on ABSuspention for bugs busses and type 3's
would you be interested???
dom
From where, as there is not kit for type 3's!
they are custom bolt on made for the type 3's
the guy from the states im speaking too can get some hes just gotta make up a fixed prce to sell them to me, y are u interested???
dom
How would they bolt on? Would you use air cylinders instead of your shocks?
Would have to see them, but would be interested.
thier was a pic of them in pic of the week but i cant find it ne more its air bags they use instead of shockswith little compressors hooked up to a
remote
dom
hey unity wat ya doin 2day????
Would it be safe to have the whole weight of a bus on the shock mount? I would've thought that would put too much pressure on the bolt, and may
sheer it off.
Would like to see some pics though if you can find some.
nahh its not that heavy they use bags on the lead sleads and they are like over 2 ton
dom
heres a pic of ABS on a bus
lol
dom
Dom, you gotta learn a few things about bags first. I have a kit for the bug, type three is different set up at the front. the only guy that has made
some is Bert in belgium (i think) Daniel, you would need a full custom front beam for the bus, as having all your weight on the shock mount is not
advisable. Obviosly the rear of a type 3 and a bug are the same, so the bug erar kits will work, but the front is a totally different story. Sleds
might be heavy, but the have A arm front suspension, so a little stronger, and also they are all rebuilt usually with the chassis z framed, and the
like....Air Suspension is not as easy as it sounds....
What Am Idoing today, Im at work...
N!
As for that pic, That there is not "bolt on". Firstly you would have to IRS your bus, and then make new Upper shock and Bag mounts. And that
is just the start.
N!
fair enuf well he told me that he can get them for type 3's aswell coz i told him i had one and i want bags
dom
I can get you bags as well, Its putting them in thats the hard part. Mine is a completely bolt in kit, but its for a bug
Check out http://www.airliftcompany.com
its under the easystreet section
N!
well wat do ya need for a type 3???
dom
total custom install. lots of modifying the front beam and a lot of money...

That is a notch thats bagged. Maybe email the guy and ask what he did...
N!
fanx man!!!
umm wats the pic site???
dom
I thought it was sounding a bit too easy to bag my bus.
It's going low soon with an IRS and 4in narrowed front, but bags would be the ultimate.
There are a few people in the states developing kits for T2's, might have to email them again to see how those are coming along.
Both are pics of bagged type 3's. http://www.thesamba.com
look in gallery, do a search for bags, and you will see these. the thumbnails have links to their email addresses..
N!
i cant find it???
dom

dom
wat ca is this, is it a beetle

dom
Thats a karmann ghia...same as bug front end.
N!
it looks the same as my front end?? whats the diffrence??
dom
just a question ??
why do you put N! ????
dom
Cause My Name Is Nectar! And if youve got a type 3, the beams are totally different to a type 1 beam...
That there set up also isnt your bolt on type. That would cost you quite a bit in fabrication.
N!
GOD DAMN IT!!!!
dom
just by curisosity would i be able to get some for an oval????
Yeah!
The thing you must remember is that you will need Dropped spindles and a narrowed front beam with most of the kit form ones....
N!
Daniel, my thoughts were similar.
Narrow the beam of the bus, which I have heard is easier than Beetles, but haven't crawled under to look at why. 4 inches sounds like a lot, and
I understand it is the maximum, or close to, for a bus beam.
I am putting a type 3 rear end in it, so as Nectar said, the Beetle kit could go in there. I guess it is just the money and engineering stopping me.
yeah but all of it would pass but
