is there a difference between a 67 and 69 pan?
as they're both swing arm, i'm thinking I can swap them over - ie put my 69 body, and all the rest of the car, on a 67 pan
am I right!
cheers

The bulk heads have a different spacing on them where the front torsion bar bolts on.
The distance between centers is different so you carnt change the front ends over.

1969 is a late model CHASSIS..
Yes the 1967 chassis was the last year of the link pin front end [in Australia] - Early model Beetle -
the 1969 had the late model ball joint front end .. IMHO a much better suspension .
The last German made link pin front end was in the 1965 beetle.. Australian made Beetles were 2 years behind the German upgrade....
All USA Beetles had the IRS rear end from 1969>.....
Only Supers had them in Australia, plus the 1976 standard Beetle.
You must have pulled the odd Beetle apart Dave!!
