The Split Screen Van Club

Just a small update, bought some 3M shims for my brake pads to stop the squealing, it was REALLY loud to the point people would put their fingers in their ears while looking round at me [emoji2960]. It seems to have done the trick, no more squeaking brakes! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190414/...

What time in the morning do we need to get into the outer display for Sunday?

Good to see your using it and finding out whats its really like to own a splitty, what do you think of the red 9 front end.

I really like it, all works as it should and no sawing of the steering wheel.

Back in the man cave after I got new release bearing I hooked the engine out again and fitted the new one along with new wing nut and lock nut to the cable just to make sure. Second break down happened on my mates drive after smelling a strange burning small after I turned the lights on, turns out t...

I noticed the new gearbox had a sleeve for the release bearing (my old gearbox didn’t) and my clutch had a spacer/washer on the pressure plate, after a quick google people were saying just to take the spacer off of the pressure plate and the box will fit. Sure enough it all went back together until ...

On to a few hiccups, loaded the bus up to go to a mates bbq and smelt burnt rubber on the way, red9 was on its lowest setting and tyres were rubbing over bumps so raised it one bolt hole it now sits like this... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180810/dd73d2af3acfa33104ad24b6887b783f.jpg Got the u...

So a bit of an update is overdue, first off rock and roll bed fitted. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180810/f41ddcf5b19366a93423bdd4c25822da.jpg And first night spent in the bus but with an air bed as I’m waiting for cushions. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180810/5f5be36878339461fcc8360936f...

Edit

I’ve raised it up one hole now because it was rubbing on the box section under the arch but it now sits at 19cm before it would have been about 17cm. This is how it looks now... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180725/3b33dcaf148afa55af2baf00c33230c4.jpg The wheel sits about level with the top li...

This is mine with Red9 on lowest setting.

I’ve never driven a standard split before so I can’t really compare but it drives straight as an arrow and the ride is smooth enough.

This is as low as a red9 can go on the front. I’m not running tubs but the tyres would catch on the top arch over big bumps but I’m not running super low profile tyres, mine are 165/65 15 so you could go lower and avoid rub with different tyres. In the end I went up one notch on the bolt pattern to ...
