A couple of questions for you readers.
1) Can anybody tell me what if any difference there is in rear wheel track between BJ/Swing Axle Beetles and BJ/IRS beetles?
2) How much does a Type 3 brake conversion add to the rear wheel track?
I want to buy some new rims but want to make sure they are going to fit in with my current set-up and also the changes I want to make in the
future.
Cheers

Hi
The type 3 brakes make your track a few mm wider. Im pretty sure the track was the same on BG & IRS bugs and numbers quoted by VW would be affected by
ET. I have a 1303r in the air at the moment that has a type 3 conversion on the rear, how about I measure drum face to drum face for you?

Steve,
Yeah thats probably what I really need to know ,the difference between that measurement on an IRS Bug & a Swing Axle Bug (if any) as I am trying to
determine if 7x16 Fuchs(ET23 I think) will fit under standard gaurds on my swinger and then if they will still fit if I change pans later on. If not
I'll have to go 6x16's on all four corners.
Cheers
