Are you after a standard or super beetle ?
I believe you can buy new standard ones

Thanks ..
Non-Superbug type..
Experimenting with running a second box linked to primary one to allow equal length tie rods to be used on a 6" narrowed link pin beam..

Ok. Out of my league but sounds interesting.
Just thinking though
Does it mount where a LHD would mount?
If so, would that mean you need a LHD box?

boxes are the same, LHD & RHD pitman arms.

Correct..
For what I'm doing , either will work..
Cheaper the better as I'm not sure how well it will work..

Been done before on early offroaders , but not much to gain , why don't you just shorten the drag links

I ran one years ago on a buggy, in my mind it worked well.

The box is positioned to line up with standard Passat steering column ,which puts it further out than normal..
Equal length tie rods will improve steering and reduce bump steer...
