the steering shaft with universals is a different lenght so you will need it as well

ive got it all sitting here waiting to go in mine, just been putting if off as the frame head needs clearancing a bit under the wheel well

Hi

This is what the chassis looks like underneath. The chassis clearancing would be the biggest headache, maybe weld in a 1/2 tube. I've only done it on a 1302 and it needed a lot of work, maybe the later bugs don't need as much.

hi, do you think with the 74 model will only need the frame head cut and none on the spare tire well?
