Drop spindles

[RICH-I-AM]

Evning.

Got a 70 with drums all round.
Does anyone sell drop spindles that just bolt on.
Fancy loosing an inch or 2 but just want something that bolt on rather than using flipped arms etc.

Cheers

Vw heritage do dropped spindles that bolt straight on, they do increase the track a little and they are not cheap, but mention early bay.com and you'll get a discount.

But the Vintage Autohaus ones that Heritage sell do not work with drums all round, they are later spindles and need to be used with Late bay discs.

T2D, Cool Air, transporterhaus all do spindles but are 3-4" and need a few other parts.

Wagenswest, even though are welded i don't think there are any that have failed.

Try and find some WagenWest spindles, they bolt straight onto a drum front end.

Yeah Graham is correct, ours work best on late bays, can be used on earlies but would need a disc brake kit designed for a late bay stub axle.

Yeah this is the only bolt on route to go.

I have welded on my van, that were second hand when I got them, have been used for ten years or so now and still no issues with them.
