Tube colar

Can you buy this bit the round shoulder bit that's welded between the tube and chassis?
Or is it a case of make one?

It's not a separate part. It's where the tube has been seam-welded to the chassis.

 

I know Rich but you can buy the chassis replacement so I assume someone sells this bit?

Yours look in good shape (unless you pinched the pic ).

 

If it’s the tapered piece you’re after, I made new ones for my bus. I used a piece of card and made it into a cone then carefully cut it down to give me a tapered ring that snugly fitted round the tube, then un-curled it, traced it on to 2mm thick steel then cut it out and squeezed it round the tube and welded.

 

Good way of doing it, if there's sound metal to attach it to

 

Yes mate just the tapered bit
Where's that cardboard

I did exactly the same as this to repair mine

 

Not available, but at that price plus delivery... https://bus-ok.nl/Type2-bay-window-Torsion-Tube-Repair-Kit

 

Ugly, but maybe weldable. I've seen worse, esp where the chassis is so rotten, the torque tube's actually flapping around

mine have always looked a bit crusty and ive never got to do the job, but would something like this work ? measurements would need checking...
