I'm after four wheel adapters that go from small 4 stud ('70) to large 5 stud ('62) Beetle.
I've changed over from swing axle (large 5 stud) to IRS rear (small 4 stud) and from link pin to ball joint front. I want to keep my large, wide, 5 stud wheels.
Regards,

You can use them on the back with no problems, but they will hit on the caliper if you use them on the front with out changing to a later caliper, I think the late L bug caliper will work???

I have 2 adapters if you want them.

Terry,
I don't know anything about Type 3's. So you're telling me that T3 rear drums fit a ('71) super/IRS setup and they will take or have the large 5 lug wheels, so I can fit the wheels I already have now? Is that correct?
Let me know.

Just use the brake drums from your swing axle trans.If they are not the same width-swap the backing plates and shoes as well.You will only need adaptors for the front .
