After completing the custom VW Bus spring plates for the VW Bus narrowed rear end I went ahead and test fitted all the VW Bus suspension components and VW Beetle suspension with the Porsche 944 brake parts. It turns out I made for a very good fit on the first attempt! It was then time to reveal the VW Bus wheels that I planned to install on my Volkswagen Bus. Previously: I narrowed torsion bar housing, I wanted to also upgrade to a VW Bus IRS conversion. I grabbed some VW Beetle trailing arms that actually came off of my VW Beetle (Eleanore) a couple years ago and mounted them on the VW Bus with a (modified by me) VW IRS jig intended for Beetles with some aftermarket VW IRS pivots. It fit together quite well, it was only difficult getting my body under the VW Bus to make the cuts and do the welds. It came out nicely! ⚫ Consider Supporting This Channel!⚫ GET MERCH ▶ http://duckshit.net/store PATREON ▶   / duckshit   RUMANDCOLA FUND ▶ htt …...more
