Those are just standard 2WD parts, nothing special about those.

Re: 16" rear driveshaft question
Up to '92 they were juast using german parts anyway weren't they?
Not too hot on my SA nerd facts, but I always had it in my head that the big window busses had the bigger brakes, different dash etc?
I have seen really early SA busses, some have had the big fuel tank, some not.

Re: 16" rear driveshaft question
Joe's is a big window 2.5, but on an H plate. My small window "Microbru" is also on an H and it's on ATE twin-pistons and 13mm cross-drilled discs!
I assumed that all big-windows had vents, but Transporscher says it was only the 2.6's...which means £££ from Bussmeide or Winkler if I can't find something similar to modify, like a 24mm Merc disc with the 66 bore and right offset that could be turned down.

Are you forgetting that I have a full SA Brake kit here with your name on it like you asked?

Really sorry Paddy - if someone's trying to press hard cash in your hand for them then take it.

Re: 16" rear driveshaft question
2.5 vans didnt have vented discs from the factory neither did the 1.8.
These brakes only came in on the 2.6 then the 2.3
