We need a 68 on LHD beetle drop arm/link that connects the steering box to the steering arms,we only have early small hole or RHD

Anyone got 1 or 2 kicking around?

thanks Richie

Hi Richie,

I may have one as I bought it by mistake. Only problem with it is I trimmed the steering stop arm off it...
Any good to you?

No probs, saves me trying to find it in the black hole that is the garage:)

Richie, aren't '68s the same as '66 and '67 with the smaller track rod ends and the '69 onwards have the larger ones? I seem to remember having trouble getting the right ends for my car as everywhere thought it was '68-on, not '69 on for those bits. Of course I may be completely wrong about all of that! Lips Sealed

all that I have seen shows 68 on as bigger track rod end hole,doesnt mean thats fact though,there arent many cars I worked on that havent been messed with Wink

Thanks Ron,hoping to put the body back on the pan this weekend and it would be handy for the front wheels to be connected Shocked

cheers richie
