1303 to 1302 suspension swap
I have read that if you install a 1303 front susepension into a 1302 it will increase the track by 26mm. Is this per side?
I have a 78 super with rack n pinion and would like to put the 1302 suspension in. Is this possible? The reason I am considering this is so I can decrease the track width so I can tuck my 42mm offset wheels in the fenders. I talked to John at Topline and he said I had to use at least a 55mm offset to tuck. I am hoping that i can decrease my track by 26mm per side. If possible would it be a direct bolt in? What is needed to accomplish this? Last edited by bugman78; February 23rd 2005 at 15:23. |

Yes, you can swap the 1303 for 1302 stuff. You will need the struts, hubs, track control arms, and anti-roll bar. However I havn't heard of the track width change before. Might be worth asking over at www.superbeetlesonly.com first.

That spindle is very different (although it looks simular) to the 1303, it's won't just "bolt up". I have detailed information in the brakes forum, please use that thread.

Okay, just to clear things up here (because 26, 10, & 7mm has been referenced in this topic)...
7mm = difference between track width of 1302 and 1303 10mm = addition of track width, per side front, when adding 944 brakes 26mm = addition of track width, per side rear, when adding 944 brakes |
