    Drop The Rear

    So I have 2 inch dropped spindles, a four inch narrowed adj. beam and 3.5 inch drop plates in the back. 185/55x15 and 185/65 tires. It has a little too much rake for me (Especially with two people up front) so I want to drop the rear maybe an inch. But as it is now. I can barely squeeze the rear...

    Wide five to 5x112 on the rear.

    So I already have converted to discs on the front of my 68 and am running adapters to get them back to wide five. Soon though I want to change the rear to 5x112 and run some gasburner replicas. Looks like I have to change out the entire rear brake assemblies and stub axles or can I just swap my...

    Center Pin Ground Clearance

    Ok, I`m looking into buying a Franklin`s beam but was wondering.... Is there a ground clearance difference on the center link mount between a narrowed german beam and a totally fabricated one with a custom made center link mount (Like on a wagenswest beam)?

    1968 Guages

    So my 68 needs a speedo and hopefully just a gas gauge. Just exactly what are the differences (If any) between a 68 set and say a 68, 70 or 71? When did VW go to dark faced gauges?

    Stock Speaker

    What size speaker goes under the dash? Is there a bracket or does it mount directly? Does anyone have pictures of one mounted? Mine is missing and sometimes even AM radio is better than nothing at all.
