i know nothing at all about buses and i dont know if what im telliin you is correct but i think i herd your could flip the original spindles and it lowers them about 2 inches? i think i guy does that for abit of cash if you send them to him? but dont hold me to my word...

im more than happy to pay someone as long as its safe as I am building the ute for Tiff (the missus) and her old man is all by the book, which safety wise isnt a bad thing haha.

im also willing to pay someone to pull the beam out, narrow it and fit adjusters, re dimple the leaves and what ever else needs to be done

are DUB doing a bus beam?

Search for the user name Deluxe Hunter on DSK (he has a thread in the parts for sale section) he does flipped spindles for busses.

As far as I am aware they don't do 'dropped spindles' for busses, only flipped originals.

He also sells end plates and adjusters so you have everything you need to build the perfect beam.

Just need to find someone that knows what they are doing

Very different to a Type 1 ...

Mr Krinkle is running those spindles, I belive Mick is really happy with them.
The single cab still has the stock beam and just with the dropped spindles it sits nice.

"flipping" stock spindles gives you 3.5 inch drop
you can get 5 inch drop spindles from wagenswest in the states and have any stub welded on .
