Anthiron - June 9th, 2004 at 05:32 PM

the semi auto beetles.......69-69???? correct me if im wrong....but only the semi autos....and then the next were super bugs


vw54 - June 9th, 2004 at 06:17 PM

yes thats right


RISKY^VW - June 9th, 2004 at 07:19 PM

what year did the super bug start? and did that have irs in manual?


Anthiron - June 9th, 2004 at 07:22 PM

71 all super bugs are IRS however their pans arent interchangable to earlier bugs because of the macpherson strut front end instead of the king + link

so any between 60-70 manual will be swing-axle! is this correct?

hang on, i'm led to believe the '68 manual (including semi auto) was disc brake front ball joint front end with IRS.

You've been ready American Articles haven't you :)

America all cars from 1968 were IRS.

Australia didn't get a manual with IRS/BJ until 1976 with the run-out model. Semi Autos from 68 in Australia were IRS/BJ. Super bugs from 71 were IRS/McStrut. Standard Beetles (1300) were Swing/BJ until runout (1976).
