Ride Height - Moment of truth! Ride Height - Moment of truth!

Picked up a set of new Firestones @ Bob's tire in Carmichael - $210 for 5, mounted, balanced, out the door. Mounted them on some 'correct' bus mis-matched (various date codes, 3 are crows's foot) bus wheels I blasted and painted earlier in the week. Looks like I might have to raise the rear 1 notch.

I ended up separatating the driver and passenger sides, which will make handling the sections easier. I cut on the inside of the big raised seam that joines the inner 'wall' of the compartment and the middle and outer sections of the seat pedestal. It is this middle section that is specific to a walk-thru - the outer is the same.
