After a pair of Stock / Factory T2a Spindles for an Early Bay .. if anyone has a pair lying around after lowering etc? Spindle threads must be in good order please. thanks

that sounds interesting.. happen to have any pics?

-Actually, had a question on the spindles and caliper brackets - but rather than continuing to highjack someone else's thread 😳 ..thought I better start a new one!

Probably not entirely necessary to change the rear setup to disc brakes for most, but then again looking at changing the entire setup Unfortunately, gone past the point of no return now. and sold the Original single port '67 engine + gearbox (sacrilege, i know :confused:) but. want to be...

This may be a silly question (fairly new to air cooled scene, but got a fleet of Water cooled dubs) - but are Late Bay spindles inverted? ie. where the track rod / tie rod ends connect to the spindle.. They're both original VW Bay spindles, with the original 67/68 spindles on the bottom of...

So, thinking about using 944 (non turbo) front hubs, and was comparing the two sets of genuine VW spindles that I've have inherited with my Early Bay:

that looks great, awesome setup.. bet it stops on the penny! -Do you have a build thread anywhere..? So, out of curiosity are you using spacers because you're running smaller rims? - doubt it, but would 15" rims fit on your setup ? I assume the 944 (non turbo) front hubs fit straight onto...

great thanks - ok looks like I won't be keeping the original 14" 'wide-5' rims then.. but obvious really, as will definitely need to upgrade to a decent vented brake disc / caliper setup as increasing the power output anyway was thinking about a porsche braking setup, possibly a 944 - pros /...

Brake Calipers ...

hi Guys, trying to get my '68 bay (actually late '67) back on the road and also looking at upgraded brakes too. the previous owner purchased these brake calipers, hubs, discs etc which I believe to be off a late bay - but not entirely sure.. can anyone give me some indications please?

Hi Guys, In the process of restoring our very Early Bay, and have a long list of things to fix.. Foremost, being a UK rhd original - the offside Rear Chassis rail has suffered accordingly :( Thankfully nearside is not too bad, and I have removed the Suspension A arms and Spring plates...
