SERIOUSLY. THIS IS LIKE ASKING IF A SQUARE OF 40MM FITS IN A CIRCLE OF 40MM OUTSIDE DIAMETER. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE ????

Mitch

From memory the Bug shocks are shorter, so they wouldnt have the travel distance on the Kombi. and vise versa i suspose
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Splitty Kombi shocks will change with king and link beetle shocks, they are the same,
The later bay rears are way too long for a Beetle.

G'day Mitchell,

Bay shocks are longer (rear by quite a bit), Splitty shocks are same length as early Beetle but much fatter, bj frontend Beetles have pin type tops on the front shocks and later ones had a long bolt tube at the bottom eye on the rear shocks.

Hope this compensates a little for the strong "no".
Cheers, Ian.
