Thanks man! Did you get the headlight bucket and the check yet? It went out USPS I think (Heidi shipped it for me). That is looking awesome. I better get hot on building this engine.

Did you get the spare tire mount in the last shipment? I need to ordered one? Probably a good time to install it, no? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Yeah Mike I got the bucket and the $$ and the tire mount. Test fit the mount, but haven't drilled the holes yet. I keep hoping you'll change your mind on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Those spare tires look like an old burned out decrepit a-hole should be driving the bus, but if that's the look you want (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) You need a fishing hat full of lures to fit the bill. Bus w/spare, pipe, fishing hat, coverd in blood (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Mike, did you get the spare tire mount that has supports that run down to the bumper? If not, you are going to mess up that paint and any body work on the front end. Actually either way you probably will, but the mount that has supports running down to the bumper is much better in terms of messing up the ft end. I dig having the spare up front for a bunch of reasons, extra protection, extra space, but the biggest right now is to cover up the dents/paint scuffs from having the tire mounted up there for so many years.

If you want to save some cash you can return the front mount you just bought and I can send you the old ft mount I have that mounted to just the skin (I got one that ties in to the bumper). Its a little rusty but will clean up fine.

Chris he did NOT get one with bumper supports and I am worried about this one mangling the front end. It only mounts with 3 - 1/4" bolts. Unfortunately I have already opend the package so it can'y be returned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It was only $14 for the mount so no biggie. Where do I get the supportive mount for larger breasts, er, tires?

Pricey for a bunch of fuchin flatbar but couldn't find anyone to get me dimensions on the samba. Plus the singleboob that sticks out that the tire mounts on doesn't stick out far enough for the tire to not rub on the paint. My paint sucks so I don't care. If you don't need it right away, I can totally get you some dimensions and recommended mods. I'm going to quit my job on the 11th and not start classes until sept 22nd so I'll have some free time. Hell I can build up a CAD model and make prints. Start fabbing and undercut CIP. Or you might be able to just wing it. I'll try to nab some pics this weekend.

One of the clutch additions of this mount, along with the tie in to the bumper, are the two bars that tie in two each of the 4 mounting holes through the nose together. They mount on the inside of the bus, taking more of the stress off the skin.

I also like that it mounts the tire "shiney side out" so you can put a hubcap on it. The other ones mount the wheel backwards.

Sweet! How hard would it be to put some spacers and bigger bolts on it to keep it off of the paint? Just for the tire mounting bolts, not the rig itself. I would want to put some rubber gasket between the metal and the nose, too.

That aint too bad if it is stainless of galvanized.

What do you think, Scott, buy or build?

It is cad plated. I put rubber gasket material between all 6 mounting locations and between the back bars and the inside of the nose skin. Inevitably those areas of the nose skin are still going to flatten to follow the contour of the tire mount. If I did give a shit about the front of my bus I'd probably try to profile the areas where the mount touches the nose skin in hopes of minimizing the dents, but I think it will still be unavoiable.

As for spacing the tire further out, they way they have it the bottom inside sidewall of the tire touches the part of the mount that runs to the bumper before the wheel is fully seated on the mount. This kicks the top side in towards the bus and up against the paint. As you further tighten the wheel down, you just bend the wheel so I threw some washers in there to avoid it. A kind of crappy product. It may rely partially on having the tire rest on the paint, the old style mounts definitely did, I didn't think these had to though. Never messed with spacing it out further. It might be worth a shot, this mount is way more robust by itself than the old style one.

Why not just leave the spare tire off altogether and get AAA?

Not much there to be fabbed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I can probably use the mount you alreadt bought as the front piece that the tire actually bolts to.

The price is pretty negligible between the two, no? What would stainless cost me?
