Someone mentioned that you can fit Kombi torsion bars into a beetle (rear). Is this the case? Be great if it is, as there is a lot more Kombis around than Type 3 wagons!

:jesus

No sorry there the wrong size
Only Type 3 ones will fit not KOMBIs

While the topic is up, how much are squareback torsion bars worth?

I've got some type 3 wagon ones for sale . I was hoping to get $50 for the pair . Mark

Mark, if you can bring them down next time you are in Newcastle, then I'll happily swap you a $50 for 'em

or use 944 porsche ? $100 a pair from wreckers ! will fit and are the same size as T3 apparently.:thumb

Type 3s usually sell for $100.00 a pair..

I got a set if anyones looking

and what a nice "set" you have :kiss

No worries .

ive got a set of type 3 torsion bars how can you tell waht they came out of ie/ squareback fasty notch?
marcel

all the same.

I thought the square's were thicker?

They are not all the same, the wagons had thicker ones, I think 23.5 but would have to check. They went as low a 21.5 I think.

Anyway they are differentm measure them to find out for sure.

Hi Secoh

You can get thicker aftermarket bars for 944s but they might be expensive. You might be better off going coil overs on the rear.

Below is all the Type 3 torsion bar versions. Fastbacks & notches use Beetle size bars.
