South Africans, gear changes and keeping cool

Hi All,

Getting to know our new bus pretty quickly now and it's throwing up a few oddities...(see below)

Twin piston VW Ate calipers, not single sliding. Can I swap these for later/bigger/better on same uprights?
Coolant pipes come up in the o/s corner of the engine bay like a carb model, but it was built as an efi. Could make for fun as I want to use a RJES pipe kit...
Wheel bearings come up as LT.
Is it likely to have a diesel gear change lever? Don't know the difference anyway. Just know that it's knacked at the back end (boot long gone)

Anything else that I need to know about? Facts please, not rumours or anecdotes!

Cheers

For brake upgrades give us a call, as we can modify your existing uprights to fit a vag ate caliper and disc to suit the wheel size.

See http://www.futbus.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to see the upgrades we do.
