Hi all I'm after a narrowed beam for a type 3 station wagon. Iv been told you use a type 1 beam but I'm in not sure. I'm looking for 5 stud hub kit to suit Porsche Fuchs. this is for a 1970 type 3.

Cheers Curtis.

extreamly hard to narrow a Type 3 beam

Type 1 beetle will not fit unless you change the bulkhead on the chassis lots of work

you dont need to change frame head , just make new brackets on the bug beam and lose the lower captive nut on the type 3 framehead for ground clearance , wagenswest or KCW in the states , even t3d in uk may send them over here if locals dont have any , and early type 3 disc 69-71 are the same as bug so just order them with 5 x 130
