Help - Drop Spindles & Narrowing Beam?

jonathanmayes · 2007-07-10T09:43:28+00:00

Hi there all... I was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice on where and what to pay for a pair of 2.5" drop spindles to suit a '65 Type 1 (drum brake non adjustable)? Also can any one offer any pictures of a Type 1 with before and after pics with dropped spindles so I can see the drop to motivate me further... :blush Finally - how will they go on a standard width beam? Thanks in advance for your help! Jonathan [ Edited on 10-7-2007 by jonathanmayes ] [ Edited on 10-7-2007 by jonathanmayes ]

where can i find those wheels that are fitted on the KG at the end of that post?
