Hi James I this side if you ant it

 

[mac]

Just about remember seeing that but it doesnt show the front -so is the frame head section still intact -and is it a standard beetle type one ??

 

[Merlin1276]

The frame head is in tact and its a standard 1976 1303 beetle

totally different to a torsion bar front end

 

[mac]

Yea Trev on the ball ...different ..any one got a standard beetle one ?????

I cut up a pan so might have it, I know I kept the rear section but will have a look for the frame head! Do you want a ball joint or King and link frame head?

 

[mac]

Ball joint -I'm gonna make a jig for narrowing front beams -Hate the price they charge so i'm gonna see how hard it is and possibly do weld in adjusters too -well that's the plan.

Mac It looks like Ive skipped it!!!

Any way I was planing on doing something similar but all I was going to do was to weld up a frame from box section, drill it for both ball joint and king 'n' link and the bolt it to an engine stand to cut and turn my beams!!!

Dirty1 I'll prob go the same route,unless one comes up -was'nt 100% sure on it any way as I wanted to make it as easy as possible to weld in adjusters and to narrow them -can't see the big fuss about um really -provided there straight and true-

the ball joint tubes are further apart than the linkpin ones as far as i remember? so the mounting on the framehead wont suit both?
