    Just finished the Duel Master Conversion what a Awesome upgrade it took about 6 hours but if you take your time it looks factory thanks for everyone's help and pictures also got the motor to sit straighter the trans needed to be raised a half inch. the inch or two I thought would have been way too much.Now I will start saving for the rear tires and rims.

    He is just joking around, that's why he put the smiley face and LOL (laughing out loud). "Pics...or it never happened" is a common internet forum reply when people talk about stuff and don't post pictures. I think it came about because with camera phones, people started posting photos of everything, so now everyone expects it.

    I went to Napa yesterday and ordered all the parts for my dual master upgrade, now gotta find a weekend to do it. So if you post pictures it might give a new twist on what everyone else has done. I think most people on this site have a Photobucket membership, that site is pretty easy to upload and store fotos, then you just paste in a link to your photo using the upper right hand Insert Image button on this Vintage-Vans posting screen.

    SORRY Big W I read it a couple of times and it sank in. I am stuck in the 70's and not up to date with the coumputer thing. The conversion is not difficult the hardest part is getting fluid through the new lines. I will take some pictures today after work and they will be posted some where on this web site THANKS...........JOE VAN.................

    THANKS BIG W after 2 hours of trying and my wife ready to strangle me I had to give up for the night we will eventually figure it out. I had to get a little creative with the one line coming out of the master because of the E brake cable runs between them and did not want to re flair any lines. I used the factory 1/4 inch line to the rear one 1/4 connector and a 3/16 plug where it split to the front.and ran 1/4 to the t fitting and split it with 3-16 line to each front wheel. All I have now is the sway bar to deal with witch a 2 inch spacer will work perfect except someone welded one inch long studs in the holes %#@$#@*.So a easy solution is 2 inch square stock maby 1/4 thick bolt the top from the inside and bolt the sway bar to the bottom I am going to register the van tomorrow or Thursday so all the other bugs will haft to be worked out down the road............................JOE VAN.................

    The reason they welded them in may be that the holes were there but not the threads. I have one here like that.

    Leave it to me to find a odd one my first thought was cut the studs off drill and re tap the holes but sounded like a lot of work with limited space so I decided to work with what was there.On my lunch break I will go to the welding shop and get some square stock and try to make over to the DMV I am getting axious to drive RED RYDER.....
