Re: Classic Beetle question
Hi Winston. We converted a ‘74 Beetle 1200 to IRS recently. It’s still here if you want to come and see it. We have a jig to position the trailing arm mounts before cutting & welding.

Re: Classic Beetle question
The Australian designed & built Country Buggy had reduction boxes. They also built them in Malaysia or Philippines

Re: Classic Beetle question
Thanks Angus, we're a long way from actually doing anything, we may never do it at all but thanks for the offer. That's very interesting. W

maverick
noun
1. an unorthodox or independent-minded person.
2. an unbranded calf or yearling.
Origin mid 19th century: from the name of Samuel A. Maverick (1803–70), a Texas rancher who did not brand his cattle.

Re: Classic Beetle question
My obtuse brain likes the idea of a freeway flyer CW&P in a swing axle car with splitty reduction boxes, and trekker type spindles at the front....but it's still dreams
