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?

Title: Re: LHD 68 on beetle steering box drop arm Post by: Neil Davies on February 13, 2013, 00:08:41 am 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! :-X
