[QUOTE="aogrady, post: 452973, member: 3512"] Porsche fitted twin carbs on the 356 which is near as damit a normal VW air-cooled lump, and drop spindles is only for none stock applications, i.e if you want your bus lower.... The bean counters in the accounts department would have weighed up the pros and cons of the tinware, cost V warrenty jobs V service life. If you want to see what happens when more extreme corners are cut, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsafe_at_Any_Speed" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; And when bean counters at Ford, knowing a design flaw, decided it was cheaper to deal with the lawsuits and handle it out of court rather than recall and fix the problem ($11 on each car) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Pinto#Fuel_tank_defect" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Cheers!
