What's the world coming to! I'll have to advertise it again sometime.
If it doesn't sell ,it may get a hair-cut and turn into a low-top none camper. Possibly may turn orange too ...

Interesting looking at how swinging arms are fabricated. Visually they look none handed. Only difference appears to be which side you weld on the spring plate and where you weld on the shock mount. Food for thought ... Would make sense for production. Take it, body is good and no signs of welding r...

sorry, the https://picasaweb.google.com/rangemsr/Syncro02# link should now work.

I didn't put the roof so not got the original, not sure If that would meet my desires anyhow ....

Sell it and buy the right thing, you'll ruin it buy putting something else on. No disrespect but it will never be right afterwards. Thanks Simon Usefull input, if most people think it's a bad idea, it probably is ... Here's a pic, spotted up for Ireland trip to demilitarise it! https://picasaweb.go...

Converting hi-top to a flat-top 1992 Syncro 16" : 2.1DJ, 2 diff-locks, decoupler. My van originally was a factory hi-top, but is now a camper with a very tall SCA high top on it. This roof is great, very big and yet very aerodynamic. I've got 2 horizontal steel box sections instead of the origi...

On my van than that lump is ...

The bearing housings are the same on both sides and if you fit them upside down you wont be able to fit the brake back plates correctly Does this apply to a 16incher too? On vagcat there's no Syncro 16 specific drawing. The housing on my van looks nothing like the drawing there. The flange ( where ...

Before I go fitting shims here's a theory from across the water: Bearing housings are angled. Someone has done some job and has put them back on swapped over and upside down. Kinda matches up with what i can see. 16 housing is different than a 14. If anyone with a 16 is willing to have a quick peek ...

Inner bushes control tracking, outers do camber. I doubt if it will do anything by changing the inner bushes. As noted, a few people have bought our camber correction shims (originally designed for lowered vans) and fitted them upside down to overcome the positive camber effect you get when you rai...

I take it that it is on the road, has been moved from where it was dropped off the jacks and does have an engine in? You worked on front suspension once. Camo ex finish army ambulance with a very big ugly SCA roof. Driven it around a bit and it appears to have settled down to normal height. Always ...

Tar for info on camber shims, looked them up and they would probably sort out the issue. Probably after the summer now, as I need the van on the road.

I also still feel the need to try and work out what's 'out' first. Any one seen this before?

Still got noticable posotive rear camber on my Syncro 16. I've adjusted some of it out and happy to live with it now, just cannot work out why it's still posotive and it's annoying the 'engineering' part of my brain. Is this common? Any ideas or theories most welcome.... Outer bolts was were virtual...

Poor mans VAG 3053: 80mm length of 41mm inside diameter exhaust pipe with a pre flaired end. Basically a free off cut from an old exhaust. Cleaned the inside of flare up with emery paper. Not the perfect long taper but works absolutely fine with a bit of trial and error. I pulled in with with 12mm t...
