Currently building a baja for rallying in charity events (great Endeavour) and short track dirt racing and have just read about these supports. They were fitted by VW to cars going to countries with rough terrian to help stop the frame head cracking. Found them at http://www.rallybugs.com/axlebars.htm 

As used on the Country Buggy!
