Aircooled VW South Africa

So after 6 months of been held up, at last the first two beams are almost ready to be welded up.

Alot of people where interested when I first put the idea out there, now i need some help as to what sizes the first 2 beams should be.

These are the different sizes I can build.

2" with shocktowers
3" with shocktowers

and I can also build stock lenght beams for those who want.

Right now I dont know what the final price will be of a beam, but will post the prices up when the first 2 are done.

If anyone has any qeustions feel free to PM me.

what about 4"?

I went with 10mm shocktowers so i might be able to go to a 3.5 if someone wants one.

Are your measurements 3" per side or is it a total measurement? (ie. 1.5"x2_ per side of the the beam)

Yes its the total taken off the tube.

My 6" shockless beam got from a few of the members

This below makes everything much easier for me as i just have the tubes cut to that lenght and then welded up.

(This is what the tube should measure once cut to desired lenght)

0" = 86.99500 (Stock beam)
2" = 81.91500
3" = 79.37500
4" = 76.83500
5" = 74.29500 (these are shockless or body mod beams)
6" = 71.75500 (these are shockless or body mod beams)

All measurements in CM

How about making a beam wider.

Thats not a problem Tom, it can be done.

I want

Guess who pays attention in class.

Will you be putting in adjusters? One or two ?

Yes. All the beams will have 2 adjusters.

Will be nice to see the price when finished. Think you might just have yourself a nice little earner !

Interested for my bug

You gonna do bus ones ?

Ive started the cad drawing for the side plates on the bus beams.

But am still trying to get around the centre pin.

Ive made the templates for the adjuster guides going for something that looks like this.
