I am currently building a jig to hold the struts and rack in place as if they were in the car. I am doing this for 2 reasons. One is that I am driving the car that will donate the body for this project. Two is that it allows me unobstructed visual acess to what is going on as well as easier hands on acess. To get the A arms just the right length the strut spindle assembly will be set at absolute neutral camber. This will alow me to get the length of the A arms just right. Once they are fabricated and attatched to the car the camber adjustment will be readded at the top spindel to strut bolt. This is the same set up that the 944 usses and can be adapted to the beetle. All one needs is the ecentric bolts off the 944 as well as ovaling out the top strut to spindel hole on the beetle strut. Will have some pictures soon.
