Congrats on your move, hope it went as well as expected. Did the 1800S convertible conversion go through? Can we see pictures?
OK, OK, no real comparison between a Duett and a VW Microbus, except for the noise and rattle factor, no? I'll even admit to a failing memory, because I not only drove at least 4 PVs before I came into a Duett, but my very first car was a '67 VW Transporter (the last year of the split window, but it had 2, count 'em 2 sliding cargo doors!). The difference in the ride between the Volvo PV sedans and the Duett was enough to remind me of the VW Bus. The next vehicle I bought was a '69 Morris Minor van, (not a woodie), so offbeat cars run in my blood. It was more solid car than the VW, and I never looked back.
The overdrive is one of those items which falls under the catagory of "might not need it, but good to know it's there,..". After all the sound deadening material I put into the Duett, it's so quiet that I sometimes forget to engage the overdrive!
Does anyone have any insight on swapping the guts out of a rear axle as opposed to welding mounting brackets on a replacement?
