I'm fitting two adjusters into by 60's beam so I can lower it around 4 inches.
Do I need to chop off the factory bumpstop mount?
Or can it stay with just the rubber stop removed?
Cheers.
Mine are gone altogether and I haven't experienced any problems
If I Had done it myself I would have cut them of and relocated them?
Yeah I was thinking that too.Maybe I'll just get shocks that have built in bumpstops.
Cut 'em and turn 'em so they are still there and working, but kinda lower
yeah but if i ever raise the beam to stock height they will be in the way .

......Of the upper arm, it would probably be resting on the bump stop at standard height.
shave it off all together and get the shocks with a bump stop in em, thats how i did it
yep I agree. Where did you get your shocks from?
I cut off the dust shield,
and hose clamped a shocky rubber around the shaft.
thats a good idea :thumb
yeah that is a good idea ^^^ my shocks are monroe i think dude down at repco hooked me up
Hi
1500 bug front Konis come with a trim able bump stop.
Steve
but they don't come with the eyelet for the bolt, they have the shaft.
Hi
Oh really, I was suggesting that so that maybe you could buy the bump stop from Koni or find someone who has fitted Konis to a beam bug before and has
some left over bumpstop material as the bumpstop needs to be trimmed down when you lower a beam bug.

I've had a look in a Monroe catalogue in the past and it turns out Bay Window Kombi Front shocks have an upper and lower stop internal to the shock.
Kinda the same as a late beetle front shock, but they mount with 2 eyes. The extra damping might be good for a lower car too. Just a thought, I've
never tried this.

Craig ive got a cb 2'' narowed on my daily 58 bug no stops and have never had a problem ever slammed or 2.5'' lower than standard( spindles) beam
at full hieght.........you dont need that shit.I like to use the bootom of the spare wheel well as a bump stop though
