Re: MY 1964 VW Type 3 Notch
If you just want a lowered ride you are wasting your money. That car can be dropped without spending a cent.

Well basically a adjustable one with new front brakes etc etc.Blitzkrieg wrote:what beam are you building?
Thanx. Kinda getting the beam for a very very good price. And it has new front brakes shocks etc as mine needs to be redone in any way. So not really spending that much. But will chat to them about the rearhitlers revenge wrote:If you just want a lowered ride you are wasting your money. That car can be dropped without spending a cent.

Re: MY 1964 VW Type 3 Notch
The front beam can be lowered in the same way as the rear, by adjusting the torsion bars.

Do not do anything to the back, till you have the engine in and the full upholstery and everything is done.Rekert wrote: ........... But will chat to them about the rear
As these type 3's have a heavy ass, and they naturally ass down.
With my type 4 engine, I need to run a roller skate under the engine to stop it bottoming out........

Re: MY 1964 VW Type 3 Notch
Does'nt adjusting the torsion leaves affect the handling of the vehicle? harder ride?

Did you fit the MC ? the one in the pic is for a beetle and not a direct bolt on?Rekert wrote:Got myself a new master cylinder
Fitting it later today.
Also spraying the wheels and cleaning the Carb.
Now to find a electronic choke for my solex 32 phn-1 carb...
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

Also heard something like that.Cogita wrote:Does'nt adjusting the torsion leaves affect the handling of the vehicle? harder ride?
Jip I did. Had to lengthen the metal rod from the pedal to the cylinder. But works fine. Had to modify the brake hard lines too.calooker wrote: Did you fit the MC ? the one in the pic is for a beetle and not a direct bolt on?
