G'day,
As i've decided to place a early beetle body onto a later pan (1969 balljoint swing axle) I'm coming up with plans to place air ride suspension in place of the torsion bars.
In doing this i want to make the pan lay basically flat on the ground and to do this i'm planning a tranny rise. the size of the rise depends on how i want the ride height to be.
Anyway with setting up the rear air ride i want to do a different set up to how most set up the rear. this new design involves welding a set up similar to a triangulated four link. this would involve welding on the axle tubes and i was wondering if this would be a good idea or a bad one.
I want to do this sort of set up as i think it would be safer than notching the spring plates and also relying on the spring plate cover to hold the spring plate in place.
here is a picture of a floorpan where i have used paint to give a basic idea about the set up.
thanks brad
