Steering damper--pass. side attachment?

Post by cbcarch »

Went to replace the old steering damper on the '69 Westy.
The old one was attached in the center, but broken off at the passenger side, hanging loose. No bolt.

Got new damper from BusBoys. Center mount works fine--
however there is nowhere to attach the other end on the beam.

Looked at Bentley manual at passenger side,
which just shows bolt going into something on the beam which appears not to exist on mine?!!

Is it possible that the passenger side mount/attachment got ripped off in towing? (I did have it towed a few months ago, and have heard of other such damage.)

If I can figure out how to attach a photo, will post.

Cheers.......

It did exist. Best thing to do is look at another bus, that will give you an idea of what the bracket looks like.
