Updated Pan/suspension kit
I'm Just Guaging interest in an upgraded pan/suspension replacement kit?
There has been some discussion about a bolt on Front suspension kit, and even a few people building them, But I've been thinking of building (for myself) a lotus style chassis (similar to the europa and elan) with a tubular spaceframe center tunnel, standard beetle pan halfs, Dual A-arm front and rear suspension, set up to bolt on in the place of a standard IRS pan.
This would make for a lighter (not by much though), stronger and More tunable platform for your beetle.
Since I'm planning on making one for my beetle, once th jigs are made, I could do a limited production run. Probably I would sell it with or without the pan halves in place and with or without all the bits you can buy from your local parts store (such as rack and pinion, beetle spindles etc.)
What do you think? and what price range should it be aimed at?
