that about clears it up then,thanks.all i need then is a bay narrowed beam,any recomendations
Yeah, don't bother. My mate has got one and it screws the steering right up.
Rubbish! (well, almost) No offence
I've got a 4" narrowed beam on my '71 and it drives lovely.
As long as the tracking is set correctly, you shouldn't have any problems with the steering.
On mine, the wheels do not rub anywhere, and it is about 4" lowered than stock at the front still running stock tyres. Low profile tyres would make it very low.
It actually gives a better ride than my beetle (neither have dropped spindles yet), although you do feel the larger bumps. It also seems to have a better turning circle than my (non narrowed) beetle, although how accurate that is I don't know as they are very different beasts to drive. Its certainly not a problem.
My van is a very civilised drive (again, in comparison with my only other car, the '66 beetle daily driver) and if it had a front panel (soon) I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere.
