Narrowed Beam???

[davejohansen]

Can anybody shed some light on the concept of a narrowed beam? Is not the mounting holes on the bus fixed? How can a person narrow their front beam and make it mount to the frame?

This should hopefully answer all your questions.

Okay new question .... what's the advantage or reasons to narrow the front beam. The disc brake setup I'm planning is actually going to decrease the face to face dimension by about 1/2". So narrowing is going to allow me...... wider tires or what else is the pro to doing it.

It will allow you more wheel tire options, and also let you lower the front end more (up to a point).
