So .... what I'm looking for is the BEST, USED, 1961 THRU 1972 Axle Beam
from any T3; Notch, Square or Fasty?
No other VW models will fit. Eh?
Right. Like Jim said, it's not an easy job, and you'll need some jack
stands, floor jack, and maybe even a helper. Keep in mind that your existing
spindles, rotors, calipers, and steering box can/will be re-used. The big key
(besides finding a rust free one), is getting one with good inner bushings.
I know Keith can tell you all about that, as he normally does the front
end tech sessions at the Invasion. I think ISP is working on a bushing
solution, however the material will still need to be reamed after installation.
There's also a guy in either Oregon, or California, that used bronze
bushings to rebuild his. He found some that were close in size (still needed to be
turned down, and opened up), machined them to factory spec (OD), then
reamed them (ID) to match his trailing arms. Turned out quite nice (he posted
pics on the Samba).
