OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

2" Narrowed Axle Beam, Adjustable, for 1949-65 Link Pin Type 1, 6278
2" Narrowed Axle Beam, 1949-65 Link Pin Type 1, 6278
 
2" Narrowed Axle Beam, 1949-65 Link Pin Type 1, 6278 is a new VW axle beam MADE IN THE USA! 2" Narrowed is used to provide tire to fender clearance, since so many of you guys are running wider rims and tires, and/or using disc brakes and/or using disc brakes which can kick the wheels outboard!

Note on the position of the Avis Adjusters; When they are set in the highest "up" position, that is equal to stock height of a stock unmodified axle beam. When they are all the way in the "Lowered" position, that is equal to a 3 1/2" drop.

Each beam is Jig Assembled and MIG-welded to insure a perfect fit and a lifetime of reliability. OEM needle bearings are used at the torsion arm end for long lasting support and ease of movement through the entire range of travel. The inner bushings are made of tough wear-resistant Delrin.

Price: $439.95
Restrictions: This item is TOO LARGE to ship to NON-US destinations.
