Rear torsion bars

Just heading down to the shed to adjust rear torsion bars one lower than the other. I think karmannghia60 posted a chart with splines vs mm lowered
I found it but it won't load does any body have it. Will save the trial and erroe factor

wasting your time unless you fit new torsion arm bushes as well.
both inner and outers with some nice moly grease to lubricate them.

both rubber and neoprene are available.

well it was a good afternoon now have the beetle sitting square on all four wheels after adjusting torsion bar , adjusted my blinker switch so high beam worked and my fingers fit between steering wheel and lever(shallow dish sport steering wheel wood grain of course) and fixed my deck lid what a way to spend an afternoon. Fantastic.:D
