Reduction boxes on swing axle
I have a crazy plan, to fit a reduction box setup (complete incl gearbox) into my baja to lower the ratios. Anything I should know? is the split bus
diff ratio higher than '68 bug to compensate? If so, can I fit the reduction boxes to my swing axle setup as it is? Can I fit the 4 stud hubs to the
reduction box and brakes?
anything else that's going to muck up the idea?
help!

can't fit the 4 stud drums and the Reduction huns suck in beetles due to the way they pick up the rear end and make you loose traction very easy
...
Go IRS

You would be better of useing the whole back end of the Kombi and plonking the Beetle body n a front end onto the chassis.
