The engine shop in Erith does them. it'll cost you 2k but will run with original carbs till you've saved another grand for some Dellorto's

What a brilliant, unique looking bus - awesome! BTW I've got Midland Empi 5's on my 82 Autohomes hi top and they sit exactly as yours do with no worries. Having won them on eBay and taken a chance with the offset etc (noobie too!) I changed the existing car tyres for proper van tyres to keep the insurance man happy and to give me a bit more confidence fully loaded. They still look cool. I've just bought some of Mr Baxter's (Brickwerks) excellent AVO -50mm springs and a set of Bilstein B4s, so we'll soon see if they rub LOL! All the best from Salisbury - Dave

this has been covered many times, the offset of empi 5 brm etc is designed for a bug not a wedge, the offset is totally wrong and you will be putting excessive strain on suspension and bushes bearings etc

like it or not its true

plus midland sell the wheels with car tyres not the rated ones you (and your insurance company) need.

check em out for your own safety.


your buses paint looks awesome tho!!! :ok
