it's a BOND roll bar-they in Sydney and still make em.

hey Neil, bergs are doing the final testing on a five speed conversion for the 2L kombi box, that also allows fittment to a type 1👍

neil richard is sending the front brakes to you as the calipers need some machining i believe,

recieved my torsion bars and bushings .etc all today

also neil, can you give me a call when u get the chance,

0430 062 233

the PO-LICE decided to yellow sticker my ute and it would not be worth saving so i am thinking i might have to put the subie conversion on hold and register the vw with a 1600 or something cos i have no transport now.

would like to talk to you regarding engineering the bug with the 1600 but all the cross drilled brakes and racing suspension .etc

would it cost much? just give me a call. 🙂

thanks in advance, anthony

neil, i also know someone whos brother makes cams approved cages here in perth.

i got quoted 1,000 for a half cage (these are fully approved cages remember)

and weld in or bolt in was pretty much the same price.
