This is what we we’re driving on





It was the most feral road I have driven on. 
HARD correlation. 
Got through the day and camped at Wompinni Station, Rufus 

Headed off the next day, to Mildura. 
Almost…….. made it back onto tar when I hear a real metal tearing noise. 

Quickly I thought “that’s the clam shell”
A T3 has the spare wheel at the front. 
I had been bouncing so much, the bolt holds no the shell closed had come out and the shell was scraping along the road. 

As I had lost the bolt, I threw the spare in the back with Stan and cable tied the shell closed. 

The world was good and I was cruising off.
An hour or so later I was thinking……. If the spare had grabbed on a correlation in the road, there isn’t enough room under the car for the wheel to “roll”

That would me I would have………

The kombi god was smiling on me again
Is your bus missing the safety clip on the clam shell, that holds it up after you undo the bolt? (The spring loaded hook, with a ring pull, that stops the clam shell dragging on the road, if the bolt is not there, and holds the shell high enough, to then fit the bolt) Rolleyes

Enjoying the pics of the adventure….keep them coming!  Cool
