CB dropped spindles for link pin. can u buy them alone or need CB front drums too?
i heard u need to buy them in kit form complete with CB drums otherwise they wont fit standard vw 5 lug drums. is this true? i couldnt find it any
where on their site. i emailed CB and havent had a reply, has anyone got these from the states and can answer my question? dont want to order them
then find out i need the CB drums too.
are you happy with them wen used with a adjustable beam?
how much was shipping and any tax etc? thanks

Give Vintage VW a call, they sell them.
Have you priced them here from a local VW business??

Sam CB front brakes are just late split/early bay front brakes
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

No the spindles are amde to suit early origional brake drums. You dont have to buy there brake kit
Sam give Vintage a call 02-9789-1777 they have them sitting in stock.
I am sure you will find the price Ok after you consider freight, currency conversion Import taxes etc etc.
And if theres a problem ( there wont be ) that after sales service.
dont forget you have to get the King and Links set up and or refurbished as well.

Sam I have a show condition front beam for a link pin beetle thats been professionally lowered by Richard at V-force. Has Avis adjusters, raised shock
towers (so you can run a standard shock), turned and rewelded bump stops. Comes complete with trailing arms. I have some recently done K&L
spindles I can throw in too. The front end cost me $880 to get done. I'd be happy with $750 to $800 as I've put the Ghia back to standard height.
Check the price of dropped spindles and add on new K&L's and your in this ball park anyway with no height adjustment available.
U2U me if your interested.
Cheers
Steve

From April Hot VWs - CB drop spindles for Drum Brake Link pin front end $209.95. Front beam narrowed 2" with adjusters $169.95. Those are US $. Ive
found that sending it to someone in the US then getting them to ship USPS is a lot cheaper than shipping UPS.
I cant believe the price of the beams, even with my South Pacific Peso they are pretty affordable...

Sam Its they will be ok with original brakes. Get them Direct, they will cost about 105US for freight. I got mine landed for 388 Australian dollars,
but that was when the dollar was 76cents....
