Does any one have pictures of VW gasser front tube axles? I am particularly interested in the mounting points and steering box location. My understanding is that most of these were simply Anglia front ends with a custom width (to suit the VW) tube axle. So I guess they still used the anglia steering box and steering gear, but a different axle and springs? Token picture to make the post interesting:   |

So I guess they still used the anglia steering box and steering gear, but a different axle and springs? Token picture to make the post interesting: I would not recommed that becasue they are sometimes very dangerous ... The Americans noticed this when they got faster and stocked their old cars in barns or garages. Now a lot of them are shipped to europe and we have those dangerous cars here which would never pass an official inspection . The first thing what i did when i got my car was i cut off the front axel and welded in all original parts to make it drive more save Udo |
