Fit late micro stub axles and the smaller late castle nut, then machine the 'nose' of the early drum to suit the short axle.

I've run 36 DRLA's, IDF's (Alfa versions) and 40DRLA's on many small engines over the years.... Great upgrade to any VW... Just keep a close eye on clean air and fuel, and reliable fuel pressure.... Once you get a handle on how to keep them running sweet, you will be rewarded royally. Great...

Hahahah.... I know.... I've flown that distance a few times now..... But I you'd be so kind as to rustle up a shipping cost, maybe we can do a deal? My address is as follows..... Simon Thompson. PO Box 75. Melville WA, 6956 Cheers... S

As the title suggests..... I'm looking to find out what the ideal length of press in wheel studs to suit the fitment of my 7" Fuchs? I have a set of late brakes and related parts all ready to go. Any ideas?

I know, I know.... We've all read the various threads on steering rack conversions into early bays, but I have yet to see this question come up.... Forget all the kits out there.... In Australia I'd be up for $2500 for either the Red9 or the CE versions.... And frankly, neither of the float my...

Wow it's been ages since I've been here.... Busy running NoH2O, prepping my drag car, car shows, raising a family and teaching art will do that... But I haven't just forgotten about all this lowering milarky either.... As you can see.... It's down now.... Been driving it pretty solidly all...

Nice.....

Went on a camping trip with my brother on the weekend....

Looks like it..... :lol:

It's all good Pete B.... I'm not confused between the two mods at all, but others might, so the info is solid..... Cheers for contributing.... In the case of my bus and the fact that I have never fitted and 'old' Beam into a 'new' Bus before, I needed to be clear on how far you can go without...
