he hee........i wanted to paint mine flat black until i spotted yours Joel............spose the stainless allen head bolt up grade is now factory
issue too :
well, i finally got mine up and in........glad i stuck to the factory colour cause it blends well with my rust background  ........if i can fit one of these with all the bonus spaghetti i have rigged
up, they should fit anyones beetle.
they are certainly close tollerence engineered  ......mine was
welded in with the box and engine out, which normally would not cause any dramas.......
i couldn't get a couple of the bars to line up with the brackets until i realised that i had not loosened the berg hop bar back off the rear of the
motor (this is used to pre load the motor and frame horns up and actually lifts the exhaust collector 15mm towards the body when tightened up)...
......SOOOOO after i did this, the Craig T bars went home and all was tightened up..........the berg bar didn't lift the exhaust collector near as
far with the kafer bars now installed, indicating indeed they were doing their job stiffening the frame horns muchly gooderah....nice work Craig
also backing off the curb and guttering out of my driveway, there is NOTICABLY LESS BODY CREAKING, infact there is barely a noise at all which is a
far cry from the flexing evident only a few hours before installation...........i figure this increased body stiffness is coming from the two cast
shockie towers now being tied together, and the body mounts from them having much less movement.......
happy days

Well I found a few spare minutes today to fit up one of Craig's 5 bar setups. This is in a 75 L Bug.
Went in without a hassle, everything fitted fine and the only thing I did differently was welded the rear tab to the cross member rather than the
frame horn.
As luck would have it the supplied tabs fitted this application perfectly.
Out of 10 I would have to give it 10 at this stage. It was shipped fast, packed well and supplied as specified. Fitted perfectly and the quality is
very good. Even with it just tacked in place it stiffens up the rear end.
|
Craig - looking at this set up - it appears that the rear mount is using the bolt into the fork? Is this correct? and I guess that means you only
need to weld the front main member mounts then? Terry

Craig, your kit kicks arse i got one but my friend needs one for his oval, but the shock tower mounts are different do you have one to fit this
application as he has installed a type 4 engine i built for him and it needs the bar kit for sure.
