Aircooled VW South Africa

The plan is to build the bent one that will work on all cars. Also to make it folding.

I am not at home, otherwise I will post pics of mine. It is for a 1303 though, but I made it in such a way that you can use it on either suspension.... Will try and remember when I get back home. I ahd dimensions somewhere as well which I opied from another that I borrowed once....

Sarel - if you gonna make a few then I'm keen - Would like a longer one with bigger U Bolts for towing a Bay/Split. The guys a volkspares said not a good idea to A frame a bus - but then I said I wasnt going to use a golf to tow it ! (more like a 4x4 )

No problem, we can develop one for the bus. Will need the bus for an hour or so one weekend...

Done - let me know - I'll bring some beer !

Matt_W, where is Grabouw? Is it far from the city in CT?

Currently busy extending my space for all the VW's and work area as well. Target for completion 2 weeks Need to draw up some plans and get some pipes bent. Anybody with a pipe bender for sale? 50mm or so would do it me thinks.... As soon as this work is done I plan to start on this.

It's not mine, just saw it on gumtree, so not sure.. actually didn't see it was in Grabouw, wherever that may be! Sorry Zubs.

Grabouw is about 60km from cape town, just past Somerset West

Lady emailed me pics of frame, it is an old skool frame that requires you to remove your tow bar ball and bolt this one on there....bit if a kak system if you ask me....plus wasnt shaped so lekker and bent....

Anybody with a picture of the folding A frame please? Want to start on making this.
