They are my front struts made for us by AVO u.k and no you cant buy them direct from AVO,only L.A.P we do many different spring set ups.

Hi

I notice that your using 2 bolt struts on the brown car, do you prefer them over the 3 bolt? Is that because your fitting 944 stubs?

I find the 2 bolts have limitations with lowering and you cant fit a flip kit to the tie rods unless you reposition the inner tie rod mounting.

All my cars have 2 bolt set up we much prefer that to early 3 bolt, and yes all our cars feature 944 spindles/stubs.

Wow, I thought you were kidding with the brown and orange, that's the color huh? I was thinking it was some sort of base coat or primer! I'm going to have to wait till she's done though, it may grow on me and you have an eye for good color combos so I'll hold my breath.

Hi Steve, I've flipped tie rods and made the balljoint extender to lower control arms (it hit steering rack). Now I can lower the car about 1.5-2 inches more. I haven't tested it on the road yet but I think it will work well.

PS. typ4boy, sorry for hijacking your thread

typ4boy, your oval project is very interesting, I'm converting 1303 pan into standard beatle too. I've been doing this project for more than 2 years, it's almost done now

I'm struggling with this colour combo (esp. the wheels) but these things aren't decided by a committee.

appreciate the pics though

Mmmm Root beer!!! Put a ton of metal flake in it like the ski boats!

[70Turbobug]

It´ll turn up real nice,just wait.Once it´s all together and lowered with glass and interior it will will be whole different car.Dare to be different - I like it!

Hi x_hodhoo

This very interesting stuff. Maybe you should start another thread on this, I'm sure that you will get heaps of comments on this.

You would need to be careful with ball joint to wheel clearance issues, the 3 bolt strut is much easier to space the ball joint on.

Really like the ball-joint extender thing! Makes for a much better reaction arm geometry with more then normal lowering.
